Styrofoam® insulated concrete forms (ICF) are characterised by their modular and easy handling. They can be placed directly on top of each other like Lego blocks. Particle foams such as Styrofoam® (EPS) and Neopor® have established themselves in the construction industry as reliable insulating elements. Whether thermal insulation or functional part, expandable particle foams are a material with a promising future. Styrofoam® ICF contribute to considerable energy savings when used in house building or pool construction.
The areas of application are very diverse and include various solutions for walls and roofs, perimeter panels and panels for the installation of underfloor heating. In addition, shuttering blocks are used to improve energy efficiency in house building. Besides high-quality packaging for a safe transport of your goods, Schaumaplast also produces various molded parts for the construction industry.
The spiral anchor for concrete construction is manufactured in a special concrete casting process. This is a new innovative holder for D15 tie rods. In this patented process, a spring made of 4mm steel with a Styrofoam® core is pressed into the fresh concrete or can be glued in during subsequent installation. As soon as the adhesive or concrete has hardened, all you need is a drill with a cordless screwdriver to remove the Styrofoam®.

Energy efficiency requirements for new buildings have been regulated by law for several years. Styrofoam insulated concrete form (ICF) simplify the fulfilment of these requirements: the erection of the walls and the insulation can be done in one step. Styrofoam ICF can be placed on top of each other like LEGO bricks. No mortar, no bricklaying and no crane is necessary.

Modern house building would be unthinkable without facade insulation made of Styrofoam® or Neopor®. In addition to the popular facade panels, sophisticated technical moldings are also used. An interesting example of this is the insulation in the roller shutter box. Tanext® from the Alulux company is a particularly energy-saving roller shutter system for flush mounting in new buildings. Here, comprehensive insulation with the particle foam Neopor® prevents any formation of cavities and thermal bridges.
Neopor® particle foam is basically made of expanded polystyrene (EPS). The addition of graphite gives it its grey colour and further enhances its already good insulating properties. In this way heating costs can be saved.

Molded parts made of EPS (Styrofoam®) or Neopor® are also successfully used in the sanitary sector as well as in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning. They are used as pipe insulation, cistern insulation or ball valve insulation. Styrofoam® moldings are the most economical and Neopor® the most heat-efficient solution.
