FLOORMATE 500-A

FLOORMATE™ 500-A is manufactured in the UK using technology that takes CO2 from industry and uses it as a blowing agent in order to create blue extruded polystyrene foam with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than five. The product is designed for high load bearing floors.

Further information on designing with FLOORMATE insulation can be found at Insulating with STYROFOAM: Insulating Floors.
