XPS, or extruded polystyrene foam board, is a rigid polystyrene with high compressive strength. Its closed-cell structure provides excellent longterm thermal insulation performance because of its inherent resistance to moisture transfer.

Be more energy-efficient
Summit XPS insulation board will reduce the amount of energy used for heating and cooling the home or working environment, and will help to maintain the specific temperature required in commercial and agricultural buildings.
Increase comfort levels
Insulation helps to maintain a uniform temperature (typically between 21ÆC and 28ÆC) in a home or office, producing a more comfortable environment for the occupants.
In this way, Summit XPS insulation board helps to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, lowers the carbon footprint of a building and helps to achieve compliance with National Building Regulations SANS 10400-XA. The gasses used in the manufacturing have zero ozone depletion potential, with no significant contribution to increasing the greenhouse effect. The product has an almost indefinite lifespan if installed correctly and will contribute to significant energy savings.
Save money
In addition to reducing the cost of maintaining a comfortable temperature, Summit XPS insulation board has minimal recurring expenses. Unlike heating and cooling equipment, insulation is permanent and does not require maintenance, upkeep or adjustment.
Improve health and productivity of workers
Better thermal insulation reduces the build up of condensation, resulting in a healthier environment. In most commercial and agricultural applications, effective temperature control has an impact on production outputs and input costs.

XPS board is produced during a continuous, fullyautomated extrusion process to create a fixed crosssectional profile. Solid granules of polystyrene resin are fed into an extruder, where they are melted and mixed with various additives (including fire retardant) to form a thick, viscous fluid.
A blowing agent, capable of producing a cellular structure via a foaming process, is injected into the liquid to enable its expansion. Under carefully controlled heat and pressure conditions, the plastic mixture is forced through a die into the desired shape, usually boards.
Once rigid, the foam plastic is trimmed to various lengths and thicknesses to suit most residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial thermal insulation requirements.
