Summit offers insulation and decorative ceiling products of the highest quality. We’re excited to introduce a new XPS insulation board to the market. Summit XPS board is manufactured in our factory with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP).

We follow strict global warming potential protocol.

XPS, or extruded polystyrene foam board, is a rigid polystyrene with high compressive strength. Its closed-cell structure provides excellent long-term thermal insulation performance because of its inherent resistance to moisture transfer.

WHAT IS THERMAL INSULATION 

Thermal insulation is the process of reducing the transfer of heat between objects that are in thermal contact. The insulating capability of a material is measured as the inverse of thermal conductivity (k) – so low thermal conductivity is equivalent to high insulating capability.

Maintaining a comfortable interior temperature by heating and or cooling the interior constantly, makes up a big part of the world’s energy consumption.

Well-insulated buildings will:

A) Be more energy-efficient

Summit XPS insulation board will reduce the amount of energy used for heating and cooling the home or working environment, and will help to maintain the specific temperature required in commercial and agricultural buildings.

B)  Increase comfort levels

Insulation helps to maintain a uniform temperature (typically between 21°C and 28°C) in a home or office, producing a more comfortable environment for

the occupants.

C)  Be more eco-friendly

In this way, Summit XPS insulation board helps to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, lowers the carbon footprint of a building and helps to achieve compliance with National Building Regulations SANS 10400-XA.

The gasses used in the manufacturing have zero ozone depletion potential, with no significant contribution to increasing the greenhouse effect. The product has an almost indefinite lifespan if installed correctly and will contribute to significant energy savings.

D)   Save money

In addition to reducing the cost of maintaining a comfortable temperature, Summit XPS insulation board has minimal recurring expenses. Unlike heating and cooling equipment, insulation is permanent and does not require maintenance, upkeep or adjustment.

E)  Improve health and productivity of workers Better thermal insulation reduces the build-up of condensation, resulting in a healthier environment. In most commercial and agricultural applications, effective temperature control has an impact on production outputs and input costs.

R- VALUES

‘Up’ values measure the flow of heat rising up through the insulation, while ‘down’ values measure the amount of heat passing down through the insulation.

These are also sometimes known as winter and summer values, respectively. These measurements are especially important when dealing with reflective insulation.
