Styrofoam: it can be used wherever the need is enormous mechanical strength. Wherever you need a high resistance to humidity mineral wool should be replaced with polystyrene. On the foundations of the driveways for trucks and cars, in garages, there was hardly an alternative to polystyrene. These are the so-called roof, where there is a layer of insulation and waterproofing ponadwarstwą by that is loaded on notorycznykontakt with water. The same applies on the ground floor or on the insulation of the foundation. EPS weakness is its relatively small acoustic insulation. This feature, however, does not appear in the case of special acoustic polystyrene under concrete floors. Through a special design plates under the influence of downforce styrofoam concrete topping, it offers excellent performance acoustic insulation. A very important property of non-technical but economic is the fact that Styrofoam is a material with a mass less expensive than wool. These factors are often decisive in the choice of the thermal insulating material.
