Thermo HDS High Density Rigid EPS Insulation

Fortefy Thermo HDS High Density Rigid insulation is a closed cell expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation that meets or exceeds the requirements of CAN/ULC-S701, Standard for Thermal Insulation, Polystyrene, Boards and Pipe Covering.

 

The closed cell structure of EPS insulation resists water absorption resulting in retention of its R-value in applications where severe temperature differentials occur.

 

With compressive strengths ranging from 20 PSI to 40 PSI, the HDS line of insulation is ideal for use in applications where heavy live and dead loading is expected.

Advantages

​Meets all building code requirements

​Meets and/or exceeds CAN/ULC-S701, Type 2, Type 3

​Minimum Thermal resistance - RSI 0.70/25 mm (R-value 4.04/inch)

​Closed cell insulation resists moisture and retains thermal value.

​Available in 2’ x 8’ and 4’ x 8’ sheets, various thickness. Bundles up to 30” in height.

​High compressive strength. Between 140 kPa (20 psi) and 275 kPa (40 psi). Its dimensional stability absorbs the movement of buildings.

​Stable and long term thermal efficiency even when subjected to severe freeze-thaw cycles. Substantial energy savings.

​Excellent resistance to moisture. Retention of Thermal value.

​Lightweight for ease of installation.

Applications

​Under Commercial and Industrial Concrete Slabs  (perimeter and throughout)

​Vertically on the face of foundation walls

​Sidewalks and platforms

​Community Centres and Skating Rinks under slab

 

Fortefy GEOfoam EPS Billet

Fortefy Geofoam is an expanded polystyrene billet manufactured from closed cell rigid expanded polystyrene. Designed for use in geotechnical applications to act as lightweight fill for projects such as slope stabilization, soil fill for road beds and as void filler for stadium seating applications.

 

A dimensionally stable product resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, it has low moisture absorption properties and is non-biodegradable enabling it to provide support over soils with low bearing capacity.

Advantages

​Dimensional Stability, exerts little to no lateral load on retaining structures

​50 to 100 times lighter than comparable light weight fill materials

​Cost Effective

​Low Moisture Absorption

​Quick installation

Applications

​Bridge Abutments

​Road Embankments and sub grade fill

​Stadium Seating and Theatre Seating

​Retaining Walls

​Utility Protection

​Green Roofs

​Noise and vibration dampening

​Foundations

​Slope stabilization

 

Custom EPS Cutting & Shapes

Expanded polystyrene’s flexibility makes it an excellent choice for lightweight creative applications and for custom architectural shapes.  Our CNC guided hot wire cutting equipment can precisely cut custom two dimensional shapes providing tolerances of less than a 16th of an inch, creating architectural elements (mouldings), exterior decorations, custom signs or theatre set back drops, and the list goes on.

 

We can reproduce from existing samples or help design new components from client supplied drawings. And all our EPS products are 100% recyclable.
