Expanded Polystyrene or EPS Geofoam has become one of the most sustainable construction material available.
Expanded Polystyrene or EPS Geofoam is strong, lightweight, water resistant with excellent insulation properties. Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Geofoam is widely used in construction projects ranging from bridges, buildings, roadways, stadiums and Green Roofs.
When circumstances prevent the use of standard soil, sand, or stone fill materials, EPS Geofoam is used as a lightweight fill medium.
Topography can be created with EPS geofoam without putting a lot of strain on the underlying structures and services. Creating roof gardens for urban buildings is one example of this application.
EPS geofoam reduces lateral stresses on bridge abutment walls, bridge foundations, and other retaining structures, in addition to its compressive resistance benefits.
On-site cutting and shaping of EPS geofoam allows you to create any contour and undulation in your landscaping profile.
To avoid unacceptable pressure on underlying soils and neighboring structures, EPS Geofoam can be used to replace compressible soils or in place of heavier roadside fill materials.
Expanded Polystyrene or EPS Geofoam is utilized in geotechnical applications such as lightweight fill for construction on soft ground, slope stabilization, retaining wall or abutment backfill, as well as sub-grade insulation and foundation insulation for roadways and runways.
EPS Geofoam is naturally multi-functional, with applications ranging from foundations to road embankments. Engineers, architects, and builders can use EPS geofoam to design for important geosynthetic functionalities and choose the optimal product combination to meet project objectives.
POLY R.I.T.E is an expanded polystyrene cored high density
laminated insulation board. The strength of POLY R.I.T.E provides a high standard of protection while also improving the insulation of your residential or commercial project.
This laminated sheathing board lays flat against the wall, is
exceptionally durable, lightweight, and is easy to install.
POLY R.I.T.E laminated insulation provides excellent R-Value and helps to conserve energy. It also resists moisture,
decreasing the risk of mold and mildew.
POLY R.I.T.E is available in densities from 25 psi to 60 psi. It
comes in standard 4’x8’ and 2’x8’ sheets with thicknesses
ranging from 3/8” to 2”.3

Geofoam, a lightweight, durable, and efficient material, is an excellent option to reduce project timelines and ease the site preparation process for commercial construction projects.
Since the 1930s, EPS Geofoam has been in commercial usage. The discovery of EPS, which is 30 times lighter than in-expanded polystyrene, gave rise to a slew of new applications, including several applications in the construction sector.
