Polystyrene Panel
Polystyrene panel is a type of panel that combines a layer of glass with an insulating core made from polystyrene, typically expanded (EPS) or extruded (XPS). This construction offers both aesthetic appeal and excellent thermal insulation properties. Polystyrene panels are commonly used in windows, doors, and facades to enhance energy efficiency by minimizing heat transfer while allowing natural light to enter. They are lightweight, durable, moisture-resistant, and often used in both residential and commercial applications to improve comfort and reduce energy costs.

Polystyrene panels for Doors, Shower Screen offer several key benefits, making them an excellent choice for both residential and commercial applications:
1. Energy Efficiency
- The polystyrene core provides excellent thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer and improving energy efficiency. This helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and reduces heating and cooling costs.
2. Light Transmission
- The glass panels allow natural light to enter while maintaining insulation. This creates bright, welcoming spaces without sacrificing energy efficiency.
3. Sound Insulation
- Polystyrene’s insulating properties also help to reduce sound transmission, making it ideal for doors in noisy environments or areas where noise reduction is important.
4. Durability
- Polystyrene glass panels are durable and resistant to moisture, which helps prevent issues like warping, swelling, or rotting that can affect other door materials.
5. Lightweight
- The combination of glass and polystyrene makes the door relatively lightweight compared to traditional solid doors, making it easier to handle, install, and maintain.
6. Cost-Effective
- Polystyrene glass panels provide an affordable way to achieve energy efficiency and insulation without the higher costs of other materials like double-glazed glass or solid wood.
7. Aesthetic Appeal
- These doors combine the sleek, modern look of glass with the functionality of insulation, offering a stylish option that doesn’t compromise on performance.
8. Low Maintenance
- The materials are easy to maintain, with the glass surface requiring simple cleaning, and the polystyrene core being resistant to decay, making these doors long-lasting and cost-efficient over time.
In summary, polystyrene glass panel doors offer a great balance of energy efficiency, aesthetic appeal, durability, and low maintenance, making them a smart choice for improving comfort and reducing energy costs in various applications.
