PolyFloor Insulation Boards are the perfect choice for concrete surface bed insulation. They are made from high-quality polystyrene and can provide insulation for underfloor heating systems as well as other applications.
These boards are fire retardant and easy to install, making them perfect for any insulation job. PolyFloor Insulation Boards are the cost-effective choice for any insulation project.
Ordering our high quality, high density or extra-high density, PolyFloor - Concrete Floor / Surface Bed Insulation Boards nationally online is easy and only takes a few minutes.
Each board is 3m2 so you will need to divide your total underfloor insulation requirement in, m2, by three to get the number of boards required. Order a few extra just in case.
The thicker the boards, the more insulation you get. invest well and choose your thickness wisely!
This is not a retrofit product. You only have one chance to install this product and that is before you cast your concrete slab!
See more about thermal insulation values below.
Ordering online is simple. You can either choose direct delivery to your location/site or to collect your order, after it is cut, directly from our distribution centers in:
- Strydompark, Gauteng

- Our prices are very competitive
- Lead time is critical in concrete slab applications and we deliver!
We look forward to assisting you!
PolyFloor - Surface Bed Insulation Boards For Floor Slabs
Luxury homes and buildings should all have insulated concrete floor slabs and if underfloor heating is going to be installed then it is a building requirement to insulate the concrete slab before you cast it!
Insulating your concrete floor slab, before you cast it, really does make a huge difference to the overall thermal insulation of your home or building year-round!
There is nothing worse than getting out of bed on a cold winter's morning and stepping directly onto a cold floor. PolyFloor insulation boards stop the cold soil below your concrete slab from cooling the concrete floor slab itself.
If underfloor heating is going to be installed then PolyFloor Insulation is essential because there is no point in heating the concrete floor slab and the cold soil below the floor slab.
Our PolyFloor insulation boards ensure that only the concrete slab is being heated and when the slab is at the right temperature then the insulation boards keep the slab at that temperature which in turn reduces the amount of electricity that is required to maintain a constant floor temperature.
So not only do our PolyFloor insulation boards regulate room temperature year round but they also save you a ton of electricity heating costs during the year.
The cost of installing these boards, before you cast your floor slab, is so insignificant compared to the huge luxury and cost savings it provides to building owners in the long run.
Obviously the thicker the boards the more insulation you get so invest wisely and choose your thickness well.
Thermal Insulation R-Value Requirements:
To get the required thermal insulation R-Value of 1, in terms of South African Building Regulations, you need a minimum board thickness of 40mm but the thicker you go the more insulation you get.
Recommended Thickness:
We recommend 40mm or 50mm PolyFloor Insulation Boards In South Africa to meet the minimum thermal insulation requirement (R-Value of 1) in residential buildings but often clients choose to install thicker boards for more insulation.

PolyFloor Densities & Compressive Strength:
PolyFoor Insulation is only sold in High & Extra High Densities due to the loading and compressive strength requirements of the boards in this application.
- In residential applications, a high-density board can be used.
- In commercial or Industrial applications Extra High Density (24kg/m3 to 30kg/m3) must be used.
- Low and medium-density polystyrene will fail in this application.
- Consult with your local engineer if you are uncertain.
Density Name / Nominal Density Compressive Strength
High Density / 20 kg/m3 110 KPa @ 10% Compression
Extra High Density / 24 kg/m3 to 30 kg/m3 160 to 200 kPa @ 10% Compression
Architect & BOQ Specification
".......mm x 1200mm x 2500mm High Density, Fire Retardant, PolyFloor Surface Bed Insulation By Polystyrene Product Company. Specifically Designed For Below Surface Bed Or Below Concrete Floor Insulation Applications."
How To Install PolyFloor Insulation Boards
- First, the brick foundation walls are built.
- The soil is then placed and compacted.
- A DPC plastic layer is then placed on the compacted soil.
- The polystyrene is then cut and laid tightly on top of the plastic layer.
- Steel mesh is then placed on top of the polystyrene insulation layer with spacers.
- The 80 to 100mm concrete slab is then poured on top of the polystyrene insulation layer.
