GUIDELINES FOR SUMMIT XPS INSULATION BOARD USAGE
- Summit XPS insulation board is a bulk insulator, used to prevent the transfer of heat through conduction and convection
- The greater the thickness the more insulation Summit XPS board will provide
- All other factors being equal, temperatures will be more stable in better-insulated buildings
- Different climatic regions require different insulation interventions to achieve similar levels of comfort (as well as legal compliance)
- Summit XPS board is a thermal insulation solution. It should not be used in isolation as a sound barrier. Consult a noise reduction system specialist
- Contact us to determine the appropriate Summit XPS insulation board thickness for your application.

STORAGE, HANDLING AND INSTALLATION: GENERAL
- Store Summit XPS insulation board in original packaging, out of the sun and weather elements. Handle with care to prevent damage to edges
- Always paint Summit XPS insulation board in applications where direct or reflected sunlight will fall on it, to protect it from UV rays (which accelerate the ageing process)
- If painting, use two coats of good-quality water based matt PVA paint. The first coat should be an acrylic filler coat to cover minor surface indentations and imperfections
- If leaving it unpainted, wipe Summit XPS insulation board with a cloth soaked in a softened water solution immediately prior to installation to remove static charges from the board’s surface
