210mm Expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation boards deliver outstanding thermal performance for external wall insulation systems. These boards substantially boost building thermal efficiency, lower U-values, and minimise water ingress and condensation risks. The 210mm thickness works seamlessly with timber, masonry, system-built properties, tile hanging, and numerous rendering finishes. Installation involves bonding to masonry or timber-backed walls with adhesive and mechanical fixings, or fitting into cavity voids for cavity wall insulation applications.
210mm Stylite Plustherm Grey EPS 70 Insulation Board stands out as the preferred choice for external wall insulation due to its exceptional performance-to-cost ratio. Selecting this cost-effective 210mm EPS board delivers significant savings whilst maintaining superior quality and thermal performance standards.
For EWI system installation, applicators benefit from reduced material costs. EPS boards are exceptionally lightweight, requiring lower-strength adhesives and plastic fixings rather than metal alternatives. Since 210mm Stylite EPS is non-breathable, it enables the use of economical thin coat renders, including EWI-075 Silicone Render or EWI-040 Acrylic Render.
210mm Stylite Expanded Polystyrene insulation boards provide an excellent solution for external wall insulation projects. These boards attach securely to existing wall substrates, immediately enhancing both aesthetic appeal and thermal performance. Applying insulation to the external wall surface rather than internally significantly reduces the likelihood of interstitial condensation developing within the wall structure.
Stylite 210mm External Wall Insulation board suits diverse wall types, from solid brickwork to timber frame walls. External wall insulation typically requires a rendered protective layer over the boards, with application methods varying by system type. The 210mm Stylite EWI boards also perform well in rail or drained cavity EWI configurations.
Deploy netting on scaffolding to prevent polystyrene debris from dispersing in windy conditions. We strongly advise using hot knives or hot wire cutters to minimise polystyrene waste, though standard knives work if necessary. Ideally, perform cutting of 210mm EPS insulation boards within a sheltered area to prevent offcuts from becoming airborne.
Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions when fitting EPS insulation boards, addressing all design and application requirements. Begin by securing EPS boards to the substrate (masonry or timber) using mortar/adhesive or mechanical fixings.
After fixing boards to an external wall, apply a protective outer layer such as a mortar basecoat or netting to shield against excessive heat, moisture, and UV radiation.
Before applying basecoat or mortar with fibreglass mesh, rasp or sand the board surface to achieve an abrasive finish suitable for mesh application. Once prepared, the substrate is ready for fibreglass mesh installation. Consult the full installation guide for comprehensive instructions.
Verify the manufacturer's expiry date for shelf life information. Store in dry conditions within original packaging. Keep away from excessive heat and direct UV exposure.
