XPS Insulation Board Application

01

Nail-up ceiling/standard ceiling/between truss insulation

Typical uses
Community housing, school projects and office developments.

Insulated ceilings in residential housing.

Retail developments where no insulation is provided (retrofitted to achieve comfort and cost-savings, and to protect the shelf life of perishable produce).

02

Over truss/over rafter insulation

Typical uses
Insulated pitched roofs in residential housing, community housing and office space
Insulated ceilings in residential housing.

Notes

Roof truss systems using Summit XPS insulation board should be approved by a roofing engineer.

03

Over purlin insulation

Typical uses
Residential housing

Industrial and commercial

Agricultural

Retail

04

Cavity wall/perimeter wall insulation

Typical uses
Residential housing (for increased comfort and energy-efficiency)

Cold storage

Areas that function with minimum mechanical cooling

Agricultural and pharmaceutical facilities that require stable internal temperatures

05

Under-floor (surface bed) insulation

Typical uses
Between mesh-reinforced floor screeds and surface bed (to prevent heat loss and increase comfort)

Below refrigerated slabs of ice (ice rinks), freezer rooms and certain agricultural facilities (to minimise heat flow into cold-room environments)

Below screeds of domestic and commercial buildings where under-floor heating systems are installed
