PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
GIAS XPS 700 – Class F is the insulation solution with the highest strength in our range, specifically designed to withstand extreme loads and constant static pressures. With a compressive strength of 700 kPa, this extruded polystyrene is indispensable for large-scale projects such as cold storage floors, underground parking platforms, and under foundations that require unmatched structural support. Class F ensures the focus is exclusively on mechanical performance and durability, providing guaranteed stability in the most demanding conditions.
TYPICAL AREAS OF APPLICATION
Buildings: Under the general raft foundations of very high buildings.
Bridges and Viaducts: Under support pillars and abutments.
Railways: High-speed rail infrastructure.
Logistic Platforms: Under concrete port loading/unloading platforms.
KEY BENEFITS
Structural Support: Capable of taking on building loads without compromising the structure.
Total Impermeability: Dense cellular structure that does not absorb water under pressure.
No compromise: Maximum mechanical performance for critical projects.
