Benefits of SOPREMA XPS Thermal Insulation Boards

Unmatched Strength and Durability

SOPRAXPS insulation boards are engineered with excellent load-bearing capacities, making them perfect for heavy-duty applications. Whether it’s a rooftop car park, parking garage, industrial floor supporting heavy machinery, or a cold storage facility, SOPRAXPS 500 and SOPRAXPS 700 are able to perform. With compressive strengths of 500 and 700 kPa, respectively, these boards are designed to handle high compression without compromising on thermal insulation.

Superior Thermal Performance

SOPREMA XPS boards offer outstanding thermal insulation, even in thinner panels. For instance, XPS boards with 300 kPa compressive strength start at 30 mm in thickness, while 500 kPa boards begin at 40 mm and 700 kPa at 50mm. The maximum available thickness is 300 mm depending on the panel, offering versatility in a range of insulation needs. Thanks to the closed-cell structure of XPS, the boards achieve low lambda values (0.029 to 0.036 W/mK), ensuring efficient energy use and optimal thermal regulation.

Long-Lasting and Climate-Friendly

With a lifespan that stretches over decades, SOPRAXPS insulation proves its durability. When combined with Soprema’s DUOFLEX waterproofing system, the product comes with a forty-year SOPRACOVER Warranty. SOPRAXPS boards are resistant to water and moisture ingress, making them perfect for foundation walls, inverted roofs, and other moisture-prone environments.

SOPREMA XPS is not only effective but also climate impact considerate. Manufactured with CO2 technology at our facility in Tongeren, we refrain from using harmful chemicals like HFC, instead opting for a more sustainable blowing agent. Additionally, we use cutting waste from other XPS boards, alongside new or end-of-life EPS, making our boards highly recyclable. After disassembly, SOPREMA XPS boards can be 100% recycled, promoting a circular economy and sustainable construction practices.

Versatile and Easy to Install

SOPRAXPS boards are lightweight, easy to handle, and simple to install. With edge profiles including tongue and groove, rebate, and straight, they are suitable for a variety of applications. The boards excel in inverted roofs but are versatile enough for floors, walls, and more.

SOPRAXPS insulation plays a key role in promoting sustainability. It is BREEAM A-rated and approved by the Green Guide to Specification, making it a smart, climate-friendly choice for any project.

From strength and durability to sustainability and versatility, SOPREMA XPS insulation boards are the perfect solution for modern construction needs.
