Cost savings and the ability to meet Part L of the Building Regulations are offered with the Platinum Floorshield from Springvale. This system is made from expanded polystyrene, with minute particles of graphite incorporated into the raw material, which is said to provide up to 20% better thermal insulation performance than conventional white EPS. According to the company, when comparing with a polyurethane solution, a small amount of extra insulation thickness can save some 20-30% on the total cost of insulation. The product is also claimed to be easier to cut andfix compared to other systems.
