What is "R-value"?

The term ‘R value’ is an industry measurement that is used to represent a particular materials ability to resist heat flow.

Any materials which have an identical R value should perform exactly the same. This isn’t always the case. R value testing is done in a laboratory where conditions are kept constant. This unfortunately does not happen in real world applications.

What makes our EPS a better choice for insulation is the closed cell structure can maintain its thermal resistance no matter the ambient conditions at work.

How can I cut EPS and XPS polystyrene?

The most popular product would be to use a utility/stanley knife. Otherwise, you can use a serrated kitchen knife or fine wood saw but hot wire is the most effective.

What adhesives can I use with polystyrene?

There are a variety of adhesives that are suitable for gluing polystyrene. It is strongly recommended to use water-based adhesives such as our Ritetack Instant Grab and Mightytack adhesives to bond polystyrene to itself or another surface.

How can I recycle EPS polystyrene?

There are polystyrene recycling centres around Australia. Please visit our "Recycling" page for more information.

Do you sell offcuts?

Unfortunately, we do not sell offcuts. All our offcuts and waste polystyrene are recycled.

Do your prices include GST?

Yes, all prices on our website include GST and taxes.
