Product Information

Full details

The Kingspan GreenGuard XPS Extruded Polystyrene Insulation Board is designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts seeking a high-performance thermal barrier for demanding applications like floors, basements, and inverted roofs. Its standout feature is its impressive 300kPa compressive strength, which allows it to withstand significant weight from concrete slabs or paving without compromising its insulating properties. While its rigid design ensures long-term durability and resistance to moisture, users should note that the board requires precise cutting to achieve a seamless fit for optimal thermal efficiency.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use these boards for wall insulation?

While intended for floors and roofs, the product is an XPS insulation board, but ensure you select the correct thickness for your specific wall U-value requirements.

Does this insulation absorb water if it gets wet?

No, the closed-cell structure makes the boards highly resistant to water absorption.

What is the compressive strength of this board?

The board has a compressive strength of 300kPa.

How many boards are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 64 boards.

Can I walk on these boards before the screed is poured?

Yes, they are designed to handle foot traffic and construction loads during the installation process.

Are these boards fire-rated?

Kingspan GreenGuard is a foam insulation product; always consult the specific technical data sheet for local building regulation fire compliance.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty in achieving a tight fit between boards

Use a straight edge to guide your insulation knife to ensure perfectly square cuts before butting boards together.

Board surface feels dusty or crumbly during installation

Ensure you are using a sharp blade; a dull blade will tear the foam structure rather than slicing it cleanly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely high compressive strength for heavy-duty applications
  • Excellent resistance to moisture and ground-water exposure
  • Lightweight and easy to cut on-site
  • Maintains structural and thermal integrity under pressure
  • Suitable for a wide range of climates due to freeze/thaw resilience

Cons

  • Rigid structure means boards cannot bend around corners
  • Requires careful planning for precise cuts to prevent thermal bridging
  • Bulk packaging may require significant storage space on site

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the substrate is level and debris-free. The boards are easily cut using a fine-toothed saw or a sharp insulation knife. When laying, ensure boards are tightly butted together to maintain a continuous thermal layer and eliminate potential thermal bridges. The boards are compatible with most standard concrete, screed, and paving systems. For long-term performance, store the packs off the ground in a dry, covered area to prevent environmental contamination before use.
