Manufacture of SKYTHERM EPS polystyrene

The manufacture of SKYTHERM EPS polystyrene is focused on quality, expertise and trust

In construction today, it is no longer enough to offer just a quality product. Customers expect a reliable partner who understands their needs, can respond flexibly to the requirements of the project and provides expert advice from the very first contact all the way to the implementation itself. It is precisely on these values that the philosophy of SKYTHERM, a Slovak manufacturer of expanded polystyrene (EPS), is built.

Our goal is not merely the manufacture of thermal insulation boards. We want to be a partner who delivers solutions with an emphasis on quality, a professional approach, flexibility and personal care for every customer. We believe that long-term business relationships arise above all on the basis of trust, reliability and the ability to keep what we promise the customer.

A material that changed modern construction

Expanded polystyrene, known by the abbreviation EPS, has for decades been among the most widely used thermal insulation materials in the world. Its history goes back to the middle of the 20th century, when it began to be manufactured industrially as a lightweight, strong and exceptionally effective insulation material. Since then, it has become an inseparable part of modern construction.

Today, EPS is used in the thermal insulation of family houses, apartment buildings, industrial facilities, office buildings and logistics centres. It also finds application in the insulation of floors, flat roofs, foundation structures and civil engineering works.

Why is EPS still one of the best choices?

The popularity of EPS polystyrene is no coincidence. Its properties make it one of the most effective insulation materials on the market.

Its main advantages include:

excellent thermal insulation properties,
low weight combined with high strength,
a long service life without loss of insulation parameters,
resistance to moisture and biological pests,
easy handling and installation,
a favourable ratio of price to utility value,
the possibility of recycling and reprocessing.

Properly designed thermal insulation using quality EPS can significantly reduce a building's energy losses, cut heating and cooling costs and, at the same time, increase living comfort throughout the year.
