Polystyrene Insulation

At George Hill Timber & Building Supplies, we stock a wide range of polystyrene insulation, ideal for various construction and home improvement projects. Known for its lightweight structure and excellent thermal performance, polystyrene insulation is a popular choice for applications including walls, floors, and roofs. Its versatility and ease of use make it a practical solution for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Our collection features high-quality expanded (EPS) and extruded polystyrene boards, both designed to deliver outstanding insulation performance. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a cost-effective option, offering reliable thermal efficiency for a variety of projects. Extruded polystyrene, on the other hand, is valued for its higher compressive strength and resistance to moisture, making it suitable for more demanding environments, such as foundations or external walls.

Polystyrene insulation is particularly well-suited for flooring projects, whether in residential or commercial settings. Its lightweight properties make it easy to transport and install, while its durable nature ensures lasting insulation. It can be laid directly onto a concrete base-whether a poured slab or pre-cast flooring-then topped with a chipboard layer to create a smooth, durable surface ready for further finishes. This setup not only enhances thermal efficiency but also provides a stable foundation for a range of flooring systems.

We carefully source our polystyrene insulation from trusted manufacturers to ensure every product meets the highest standards of quality and performance. With its closed-cell structure, polystyrene offers additional benefits such as resistance to water absorption and improved durability, making it a reliable and long-lasting choice for many applications, including roofing or cavity walls.
