EPS-Expanded Polystyrene Foam, which is obtained from the oil through the polymerization of styrene monomer, is a typically white colored thermoplastic material consisting of pores in shape of foam.
In some special productions, it is also possible to see the products consisting of the particles, which are processed to reflect the long wave radiation, in color of grey/black tones.
EPS products that are obtained through the combination of blown up and integrated polystyrene particles include the blower gas used to blowing up the particles thus obtain the foam; so this gas is called pentane.
Once the pentane as an organic component has formed a lot of small pores inside the particles, it takes the place of air during and after the production phase, quickly. The exposed pentane gas is converted into existing CO2 and the steam H2O. Thus the stable air is locked into the cells of numerous (depending on the density, 3-6 billion in 1 m3 of EPS) small pores inside the material since the pentane has occurred. 98% of the material is consisting of stable air and the rest is the polystyrene.
Polystyrene Moulding (XPS Extruded Ready-made Moulding without Gypsum)
The extruded polystyrene (XPS) ready-made moldings without gypsum are obtained from trunks of 40 density (kg(m3). The moldings are produced by the computerized 3Axles machines.
*doesn't affect by the humidity and water;
*if it is necessary, it can be colored by using water based paint,
*easy application,
*easy assembly,
*applies without need of any construction work,
*the life of ready-made molding is long as much as the life cycle of the building because of unlimited time of polystyrene.
Jamb is a decorative exterior coating accessory applied at front part of the building. This specific type of product, which is coated with special acyrilic, is made of EPS and XPS and features a a good insulation. Upon specific process of dying in any color, this product offers a wide range of models.
Many architects who are very wellknown in the world have employed various types of Jamb for exterior coatings of the buildings by considering the aesthetical appearance of the structures. A very good example of this application is the works of art done by Mimar Sinan. The masters of art i.e. Mimar Sinan, have used jambs and pillars as stones for an external aesthetical appearance of the building.
The hand tools required for the application: Saw, t-square, brush, spatula, hammer, nail, emery, meter, glue mortar for adhering the polystyrene signboard.
The application surfaces are designated by making the appropriate measurements. T-Square shares are calculated. A model which will fit the project is made and jamb edges are designated by making the angel of 45 degrees with the t-square.
Depending on the need for an external or an internal t-square, t-square is cut with the handsaw.
The homogenously pre-made polystyrene plate glue plaster is applied on the rear side of jamb by means of a spatula.
The jamb is fixed on the surface as designated in the project.
