PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
GIAS XPS 300E+ is an extruded polystyrene (XPS) board with certified compressibility at the 300 kPa class, optimized for high thermal performance and improved reaction to fire within the "300+ E" product group. It is designed for applications where smaller thicknesses are required for the same R-value compared to competing products (material savings) and complies with EU requirements for XPS products.
TYPICAL AREAS OF APPLICATION
Facades and Plinths: Superior external insulation, especially where insulation thickness must be limited.
Accessible Terraces: Under the protective or finishing layer (with residential traffic).
Floors: Thermal insulation under screed in residential and commercial buildings.
Thermal Bridges: Insulation of concrete structures (beams, columns) for maximum performance.
KEY BENEFITS
Premium Thermal Efficiency: Optimized λD value (0.026 W/(m·K)), reducing heat loss by up to 15% compared to traditional XPS.
Fire Safety: Euroclass E classification, meeting fire safety standards for surface constructions.
Mechanical Resistance: Load-bearing capacity of ≥ 300 kPa, ensuring long-term stability under load.
Absolute Impermeability: Closed-cell structure that prevents water absorption and maintains constant thermal performance.
