EPS Sustainable Flooring Systems - Part L and the Future Homes Standard

Description

An EPS flooring system is a combination of pre-stressed concrete floor beams and EPS panels. The components work together to provide a rigid and durable ground floor that also provides excellent insulation properties.

EPS systems are typically used in domestic new-build applications. Their light weight and ease of installation help to reduce on-site costs and speed up build times, while their thermal performance can help to improve a home’s energy efficiency.

With correct specification, EPS floors can also be suitable for communal dwellings such as blocks of flats and light commercial applications.
