Aluminium-faced XPS heating panels from China: bulk buying guide
Buy aluminium-faced XPS heating panels from China. Compare foil and sheet constructions, groove drawings, pipe fit and bulk-order packing.

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?
Choose between coated XPS and cement backer boards by weight, cutting, insulation, waterproofing and total installed cost. See the differences side by side.

Specifying XPS sandwich panels: core, facings & use
Turn “20 mm XPS sandwich panel” into a clear face-A/core/face-B specification. Compare complete panels with bare cores and convert piece prices to area prices.

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
Compare one 100 mm XPS layer with two 50 mm layers, calculate board area and foam volume, and separate thermal insulation from floor load and moisture design.
