Adding STYROFOAMâ„¢ Brand Extruded Polystyrene Insulation below the ice slab helps:
- Reduce frost penetration into the subgrade and helps prevent heaving of the slab by slowing heat loss from the subslab, granular base and soil
- Reduce the ice slab refrigeration capacity requirements – lowering energy costs for both seasonally and continuously operated rinks
- Reduce ice-making and deicing time for multipurpose rinks
STYROFOAM Brand Extruded Polystyrene Insulation can also be used to insulate refrigerant lines in ice arenas.
