10mm Grey Polystyrene EPS External Wall Insulation

10mm Grey Polystyrene (Graphite) represents a premium expanded polystyrene (EPS) board featuring integrated graphite particles that deliver a distinctive grey appearance. The graphite infusion enhances thermal performance by up to 20% compared to standard 10mm white EPS insulation boards of equivalent thickness. This rigid closed-cell EPS insulation encapsulates air within each bead, and because air resists heat conduction effectively, it substantially impedes thermal transfer.

The graphite particles embedded throughout the 10mm Grey Polystyrene (Graphite) board structure create a reflective surface and striking dark grey finish. When radiant heat passes through the 10mm graphite insulation, it undergoes multiple reflections, dramatically decelerating heat movement and boosting thermal efficiency.

Within 10mm Grey Polystyrene (Graphite) boards, warm air follows an indirect route towards cooler zones, which slows thermal transfer and maintains interior warmth. This design delivers superior thermal conductivity of 0.031 W/mK, outperforming conventional 10mm expanded polystyrene boards.

Installation

The 10mm EPS boards are initially secured to the substrate (masonry or timber) using mortar/adhesive, mechanical fixings, or a combination approach. The 10mm expanded polystyrene boards require coverage with an outer protective layer, such as cladding or mortar finish. The board's outer surface must be abraded or sanded to achieve a textured finish before application of fiber mesh, followed by base coat or mortar layer installation.

Certifications

Manufactured to EN-13163 Standard specifications.
