SPECIFIER NEWSLETTER – ISSUE 7 – AUGUST 2021
It can be a minefield picking out the differences between construction products, especially with so many competing claims about what is the ‘best’ solution. Insulation solutions are the perfect example – all offer a low thermal conductivity, but exactly how low do you need to go?
WHAT ARE THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EXTRUDED POLYSTYRENE (XPS) AND PIR INSULATION?
Polyisocyanurate (PIR) and extruded polystyrene (XPS) are both lightweight, rigid foam boards used for thermal insulation in buildings.
