STYRO STONE - ideal for 'GREEN' buildings
The stones provide insulation with their hollow structure that are made from Self Extinguishing grade EPS, which is one of the most oldest & widely used commercially available insulation material. This is due to several reasons :
- it is light weight and can be easily moulded and transported to site
- has a sufficiently high insulation value that does not degrade over time
- studies for Life Cycle Assessment (a cradle to grave analysis) have proved EPS to be one of the least environmentally harmful insulating materials as it contains no toxic gases
- Compared with other products in use, EPS has been proven to have one of the lowest Global Warming and Ozone Depletion Potential
Assembly and Post Construction: Due to the unique design and ease of installation,
- no thermal bridges, as the walls are completely insulated from both sides
- manpower requirement is low,
- material wastage is minimal, and
- on-site water needed for wall erection & curing is zero
Concrete forming the Core of the insulating stones makes the walls stronger than conventional brick & mortar structures and provides added protection in case of fire.
