XPS panels — sandwich panels with an extruded polystyrene core — are the high-strength upgrade over standard EPS panels: roughly 50% better insulation per inch, near-zero water absorption, and compressive strength that handles heavy loads. As a top XPS panel manufacturer, Thermo Master produces XPS panels and boards from our factory on Katar Band Road, near Thokar Niaz Baig, Lahore, delivering across Pakistan since 2017.
Where EPS panels are the economical choice, XPS panels are the engineering choice — specified for cold rooms, damp environments, and roofs where performance can’t be compromised.
What XPS Panels Are and How They Work
An XPS sandwich panel bonds an extruded polystyrene core (28–40 kg/m³ density, 95% closed cells) between PPGI steel facings. Extrusion gives XPS its signature advantages: 0.025 W/mK thermal conductivity, 210–700 kPa compressive strength, and water absorption so low it’s effectively waterproof. Panels come 30–100 mm thick, 1 m wide, up to 12 m long, with tongue & groove joints.

Insulated Panels Comparison — EPS vs XPS vs PU
| Factor | EPS Panel | XPS Panel | PU (PUF) Panel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insulation per inch | Good (R-4 per inch) | Better (R-5.9 per inch) | Best (R-6.5+ per inch) |
| Core strength | Moderate | High | High |
| Water resistance | Good | Excellent | Excellent |
| Fire performance | FR grade available | FR grade available | Best (PIR option) |
| Cost | Most economical | Mid-range | Premium |
| Best for | Prefab rooms, sheds, warehouses | Cold rooms, damp areas | Cold storage, clean rooms |
Applications in Pakistan
- Cold rooms & freezer rooms — walls, ceilings and floors
- Damp and coastal areas — Karachi’s humidity can’t touch XPS
- Walk-in chillers for dairy, meat and pharma
- Insulated warehouses for temperature-sensitive goods
- Roof insulation under screeds on concrete slabs

FAQs
XPS or PU panels for cold storage? PU insulates slightly better per inch; XPS costs less and resists water equally well. For most cold rooms, 75–100 mm XPS performs excellently at lower cost.
Can XPS panels get wet? They absorb almost no water — ideal for wash-down areas and humid climates.
Do you cut panels to size? Yes — custom lengths up to 12 m and cut-to-size service for contractors.
