Betonroof EPS insulating panels

Insulating systems with Betonroof EPS

Coupled panels made with high density cement bonded particle boards 1350 Kg/m³ and an insulating expanded polystyrene type EPS with density equal to 20 Kg/m³.
The Betonroof eps coupled panels are excellent for roof and floor's insulation that require a high mass due to thermal displacement and noise reduction. The external panels are in fact composed of high density cement bonded particle board (1350 Kg/m³), with high compressive strength equal to 9000 kPa and fire reaction certified in class A2. The middle panel, in expanded polystyrene type EPS, has a low density of 20 Kg/m³, is highly insulating and certified CE.

Betonroof eps panel is a building material intended for outdoor use due to its high thermal lag due to its 3-level structure; in fact, having several levels in materials with different densities reduces thermal conductivity and therefore lengthens the passage of heat from the outside to the inside, thus creating a comfortable indoor climate of the building.

The insulating Betonroof eps material is produced throught the coupling of three panels of two different types: two of these are made with BetonWood cement bonded particle boards which have a high density equal to 1350 Kg/m³ and a high compression resistance; among these there is one in expanded polystyrene type EPS, highly insulating both from a thermal and acoustic point of view.

It can easly installed on floors, walls and roofs, it has an excellent versatility, fire resistance certified in A2 class, weather agents resistance, and it can insulate every part of the building:
• it can be used as thermal and acoustic insulation of roofs and floors that require a high mass to increase the thermal lag and noise reduction;
• also ideal for insulating both flat and pitched roofs as the cement bonded particle board surface protects the expanded polystyrene from atmospheric agents, humidity and fire.
• the panel is fully walkable and therefore suitable for laying on horizontal surfaces;
• the panel is characterized by a high compressive strength equal to 9000 kPa and therefore is suitable for use in public places such as schools, hospitals, libraries, offices, but also fire escape routes and so on ..

If you are interested in this type of solution, we recommend that you take a look at our other coupled products in the section Coupled panels.


The BetonWood cement bonded particle board is also made exclusively with wood from controlled forests in compliance with the FSC directives (Forest Stewardship Declaration).


The cement bonded particle board has so many advantages, including:

• very high compression resistance;
• high resistance to climate change and frost;
• insects and fungi are unable to attack or damage it;
• thanks to its physical and mechanical characteristics, the product is considered one of the best materials for light weight constructions;
• incombustible (A2 according to the DIN 4102 Standard);
• free of formaldehyde and free of asbestos, asbestos etc .;
• free of recycled inks (present in materials with recycled cellulose);
• resistant to atmospheric agents;
• workable with wooden tools;
• high flow rate;
• recyclable, ecological, respects the environment;
• construction material tested and authorized according to the European standards in force.


The expanded polystyrene type EPS panels are characterized by:

• very effective protection against the summer heat, due to the remarkable intrinsic insulating properties;
• opening to the diffusion of water vapor, which contributes to the construction of breathable buildings with high comfort;
• high capacity to absorb ambient humidity, which constitutes a natural hygrometric regulator system;
• quality guarantee, thanks to continuous checks and tests carried out according to the European standards in force.

Available dimensions

For this type of cement bonded particle board and expanded polystyrene type EPS we do not have available sizes and thicknesses; for the order, minimum orders of 300 square meters are required.
In any case, we strongly recommend that you contact our technical office.




Transport and storage


• the delivery of the material is normally carried out by lorries, considering the high mass of the pallets it is advisable for the recipient to have suitable equipment and mechanical lifting means with a minimum capacity of 35/40 quintals for unloading the goods;
• it is advisable to deposit the boards overlapping them one on top of the other and in order to keep them in a horizontal position, with square section supports and a minimum spacing of 80 cm;
• the transport of the single slabs must be done by cutting, never horizontally;
• avoid direct exposure to sunlight and adequately cover the material to avoid excessive accumulation of dust;
• the pallets are equipped with an upper protective plate, which must be repositioned each time above the other boards and ballasted at the top to avoid distortion of the plates below it.
