Choose materials with clarity.
Selection advice, assembly checks and purchasing guides for your next project.
Choosing XPS insulation: thickness, strength & grade
Separate thermal targets from load requirements, compare like-for-like data and specify the XPS grade your assembly actually needs.
XPS tile backer board or cement board?
Compare the complete tiled assembly, not just the board. Review handling, support, waterproofing and finish compatibility before choosing.
Specifying XPS sandwich panels: core, facings & use
Define both faces and the core, then check the complete panel against its intended environment, supports and performance requirements.
XPS or EPS underfloor heating panels?
Compare panel formats, pipe retention and complete floor build-up rather than choosing by foam type alone.
XPS in floor assemblies: loads, support & moisture
Plan the complete floor depth and support conditions before ordering insulation. Use a coordination checklist to avoid avoidable site changes.
Wet-area backer boards: joints, fixings & penetrations
Use a detail-by-detail review to coordinate a wet-area board installation before tiling conceals the work.
