Energreen® GPS Enhanced Insulation | Plasti-Fab EPS Product Solutions

Our DuroFoam Plus 25 Insulation with hover hotspots that provide more information.

Energreen® GPS Enhanced insulation is a Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 moulded graphite polystyrene (GPS) rigid foam insulation that gives maximum efficiency, cost-effectiveness and sustainability to your insulation projects. Energreen GPS Enhanced is manufactured using Neopor® provided by BASF, a graphite-enhanced raw material that reduces radiation heat transfer resulting in higher thermal resistance (R-value) compared to standard CAN ULC S701.1.

With an R-value of 4.7 per inch, Energreen® GPS Enhanced helps you achieve your desired R-value with a thinner board. Energreen® GPS Enhanced insulation is easy to work with and install, and consistently delivers the highest true R-value performance over time. This high-performing insulation is breathable, while the closed-cell structure does not support the growth of mold, while adapting to all climate zones.

The higher compressive strength of Energreen® GPS Enhanced makes it an excellent choice for under slab and below grade applications. Not only does it maintain its R-value for the life of the product, but provides the compressive resistance needed to meet strict building codes.

Energreen® GPS Enhanced insulation resists water absorption so it will retain its R-value even in applications where temperatures fluctuate. Markings provided on the printed face of Energreen® GPS Enhanced insulation assist in cutting to required dimensions and spacing of fasteners into framing.

Available in:

4x8 ft; 2 ft high bundles
Thicknesses of 3/4, 1, 1 ½, 2, 2 ½, 3 in. plus special order sizes

Easy to cut and install
Meets CAN ULC S701, Type 1,2,3
Closed cell insulation
No Thermal Drift
Compressive Resistance of 10 psi
A True R-value of 4.7 per inch
Resistant to moisture
Uses up to 30% less material than other rigid foam insulation to achieve the same R-value, saving on building materials and installation labor
Thinner boards are needed to reach the desired R-value than others so the same effect is achieved with less material
