Polyfoam Floorboard Standard
For residential floors
Performance
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is highly resistant to compression and withstand both occasional and long term static loads. Load bearing construction elements should be designed to adequately support the combination of imposed and dead loads without creating excessive deflection.
Thermal
The thermal conductivity of Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is 0.033 W/mK
Description
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is rigid extruded polystyrene (XPS) board with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 5 and Zero Ozone Depletion Potential. It is square edged boards that has high compressive strength.
Benefits
- High compressive strength – protects the damp proof membrane from damage
- Highly resistant to water absorption
- Robust and can tolerate traffic from following trades
Application
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is suitable for almost any floor construction including:
- Below a screed
- Below chipboard
Environmental
The Polyfoam range of products has been independently assessed under the BRE’s Green Guide to Specification, Polyfoam Floorboard Standard achieve a BRE Certified Green Guide rating of A+. Polyfoam Floorboard Standard represent no known threat to the environment and have zero Ozone Depletion Potential and a Global Warming Potential of less than five. Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is non bio-degradable and 100% recyclable.
Durability
The continuous service temperature limits of Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is up to +70º C.
Vapour resistivity
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard – 625MNs/g.m
when tested in accordance with EN 12086.
Moisture absorption
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard has a moisture absorption of 0.6% by volume when tested in accordance with EN 12087.
Moisture resistance
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is resistant to moisture absorption and can be laid in standing water or up against wet concrete with negligible impact on the performance of the product as determined by testing to EN 12087.
Handling and storage
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is lightweight and easy to handle and install. Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is supplied in four sided packaging designed to be easily recognised and are labelled with identifying product and manufacturing data. Ensure the boards are not stored close to open flames or other ignition sources and avoid volatile organic compounds and chemicals such as solvents.
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard should not be left exposed to prolonged sunlight as this will result in surface degradation. When outside storage for extended periods is required cover the products with opaque/light coloured sheeting.
