POLYSTYRENE BLOCK

EPS is a proven material in construction and offers excellent thermal insulation properties.
When used in homes EPS improves energy efficiency and reduces bills for the residents.

The high compressive strength of EPS lends itself to many civil engineering projects, including groundworks, landscaping, road embankments and train station platform extensions.

Need EPS to your set dimensions?
Take advantage of our EPS hot wire profiler, we also offer CNC sampling for the prototyping of more intricate HVAC component solution.

 

We are a quality, on time supplier of EPS70 – EPS400 for construction applications across the UK.

We manufacture EPS block in accordance to EN13163

Manufacturing in Scotland, we’ve invested £500k in the latest energy efficient block moulding machine increasing our block and sheet output by 450%.

An integrated recycling unit processes customer waste, production scrap and offcuts.

Our polystyrene block is available in a standard full block size of 2000 x 1200 x 1000mm and in  the various pre cut sizes you see below.

We can cut our blocks down to your exact dimensions for an extra cost.

Block Cutting To Suit Your Requirements

If you need your blocks cutting down to your specific measurements please send us an enquiry detailing density, dimensions and delivery address and we will send you a quotation.
