Perimeter, Below Grade, & Floor Insulation
The perimeter and slab of the foundation accounts for up to half of a building’s heat loss. This is why below-grade insulation is such a critical component of an energy-efficient building envelope. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) provides a cost-effective insulation that enhances the efficiency of both heating and cooling systems.
Expanded polystyrene is known for its ability to resist and quickly release moisture. This ability ensures that EPS maintains its R-value over time. As a result, EPS has gained wide acceptance in perimeter, below grade, and floor insulation applications.
SuperForm EPS+
SuperForm EPS+ is a high-grade expanded polystyrene (EPS) rigid foam insulation. It provides a dependable insulation product that can be used for almost every type of building insulation application. Its stable R-value and high compressive strength coupled with its ability to resist and quickly release moisture makes EPS+ ideal for perimeter, below grade, and floor insulation.

Superform MAX+
SuperForm MAX+ is a premium Neopor® graphite polystyrene (GPS) rigid foam insulation. MAX+ features all of the performance attributes of EPS+, complimented by the added benefits of its unique graphite cell structure. MAX+ uses high-purity, graphite particles to create a reflective cell structure. This distinct cell structure reflects radiant heat as it travels through the insulation. As a result, MAX+ delivers one of the most efficient perimeter, below grade, and floor insulation products available.
