How strong are the EPS walls?

 

EPS walls are exceptionally strong and durable. The entire surface is reinforced with an alkaline-resistant fibreglass mesh, which is overlapped for added strength. This is then coated with a flexible, modified cement render designed to resist cracking and withstand movement.
All work and materials are backed by a manufacturer’s warranty, giving you complete peace of mind.

 

 

What about the effects of climate and insects?

 

Polystyrene is an inert, organic material that does not rot and is highly resistant to mildew, even in harsh weather conditions. It offers no nutritional value to ants, termites, or rodents, making it an excellent choice for long-term durability in all climates.

 

 

What colours are available?

 

We offer a full and unlimited colour range, giving you complete freedom to match your desired style and finish.

 

 

Will multiple contractors be required?

 

No—you’ll be working with a single dedicated contractor who will manage and complete your entire project from start to finish, including installation and painting. This ensures a seamless process, reduces delays, and eliminates the complications often caused by coordinating multiple trades.

 

 

What is the thermal rating?
The Exsulite EPS system offers a thermal rating of up to R4.9, depending on the thickness of the EPS selected. This makes it an excellent choice for improving energy efficiency and maintaining indoor comfort.

 

 

What sound reduction can I expect?
A complete wall system using 75mm EPS panels provides a sound reduction rating of Rw 38dB, helping to significantly reduce external noise and improve indoor acoustic comfort.

 

 

What is the fire rating?

 

The Dulux Exsulite EPS system is suitable for use in areas rated up to BAL 29 (Bushfire Attack Level 29), making it compliant for construction in moderate bushfire-prone zones.

 

 

How thick are the EPS panels?

 

EPS panels can be cut to suit specific project requirements, but they are most commonly available in 40mm, 75mm, and 100mm thicknesses.
