Block Fill
Advantages of EPS Block Fill:
- Excellent thermal resistance. The installed R-Value of EPS masonry block fill is higher than that of other commonly used materials. (see chart)
- EPS Block Fill generally costs 50-60% less than the commonly specified loose fill insulation's.
- EPS Masonry Block Fill will not pick up moisture. When tested, EPS shows zero capillarity.
- Cleaner and easier to use.
