Insulation with added value

The added value of Austrotherm EPS AF PLUS

Austrotherm EPS AF PLUS (graphite EPS) insulates up to 23% better than ordinary white EPS, saving energy in every corner of the building it is used on.

Your advantages

Same effect – same price

A 14 cm Austrotherm AF PLUS board has the same insulating effect as an 18 cm board of white facade EPS (Austrotherm EPS AF) — you save 4 cm of insulation thickness.

Narrower window sills

With the grey facade insulation you can fit narrower window sills (aluminium or stone), which cuts their cost by about 10%.

Shorter dowels

Thinner insulation boards also save money when dowelling during a facade refurbishment, because thinner boards need shorter dowels.

No need to refurbish the roof

If the roof projects 20 cm beyond the wall and you use a 14 cm grey facade board, there is enough space left (6 cm) to reuse all existing connections. With an 18 cm white facade board there would not be enough space, and the whole roof would have to be refurbished.

More living space – more usable floor area

Every square centimetre counts. In a two-storey family house, 14 cm of insulation instead of 18 cm adds about 4 m² of usable floor area — with the same insulating effect!

More light: let the sun in!

With the thinner grey Austrotherm EPS AF PLUS board in the window reveal, the angle at which sunlight can enter increases, and the rooms are lit better in the most natural way.
