Insulation Performance: Differences Between Types of Polystyrene Beads
Differences between New White Marbles and Recycled Graphite
The insulation measurement unit of beads is calculated by the lambda (λ) value, which represents thermal conductivity.
The lower this value is, the more efficient the insulation is.
IMPORTANT: There are different types of polystyrene beads.
Discover our new polystyrene beads, a reference in insulation with a lambda of 0.035 to 0.037 W/mK, guaranteeing optimal performance.
New white marbles isolate better (They are M1 FIRE-PROOF) than recycled graphite marbles. They can be easily spotted, they are perfectly round and dust-free.
Graphite black RECYCLED polystyrene insulates poorly and resists temperature changes poorly, promoting condensation and mold. Some sellers sell it as new: stay vigilant and choose new beads for reliable insulation.
The graphited beads for insulation RECYCLED contain graphite, have a lower insulation value and are not M1 FIRE-RESISTANT, they can sometimes pose a fire risk. They can be easily recognized by the shape of the bead which is broken or deformed with dust.
Advantages of M1 Fireproof Beads for Effective Insulation
An efficient renovation
Poly Xpansion® polystyrene balls, M1 fire-resistant, provide effective thermal insulation. Breathable, they evacuate moisture for healthy air. Rot-proof, they resist mold and do not compact, ensuring maintenance-free, long-lasting insulation.
Perfect Insulation of Hollow Walls and Partitions with Polystyrene Beads
Advantages for Partitions and Old Walls
The Poly Xpansion® marbles effectively isolate hollow walls and partitions. Light and easy to apply, they reduce thermal bridges, limit heat loss and improve indoor comfort.
Use of polystyrene beads in attics and under-roofing
Optimize your insulation in your attic
The Poly Xpansion® beads ensure effective and safe insulation of attics and under-roofs, areas sensitive to thermal variations.
What is thermal resistance (R)?
In terms of insulation, we often use thermal resistance, marked by an R, to gauge how a material prevents heat from passing through. It's a bit like a fortress: when this R climbs, the insulator does a better job of preserving heat in winter or keeping it away in summer. With polystyrene beads, if you choose a thicker layer or a low lambda option such as graphite, it strengthens everything. And in the end, your house stays warm or cool, which lightens the energy bills year after year.
What is thermal phase shift?
Thermal phase shift is the time it takes for heat to pass through an insulating material. Like a brake that slows down temperature jumps: if this phase shift lasts long, say a few hours, your interior is not subject to the whims of the outdoors, and you enjoy regular comfort from morning to night. For our graphite beads, which are a bit more compact, this delay stretches longer than for regular white polystyrene beads. Perfect for homes where it is really hot during the day and cool at night.

FAQ: Polystyrene beads for insulation
Yes, polystyrene beads for insulation help to limit heat loss in hollow walls, partitions, and hard-to-reach cavities. They provide a practical solution to improve thermal insulation in numerous renovation works.
To insulate a cavity wall with polystyrene beads, you need to inject the beads into the cavity to fill the space between the walls. This technique improves thermal insulation without having to dismantle the entire wall.
The injection is done by piercing several access points in the wall, then injecting the beads into the cavity until completely filled. This method is widely used for insulating hollow walls, partitions and claddings.
To inject polystyrene beads into walls, partitions, or cavities, it is recommended to use a blower injector (available from 2 m³). This machine allows for the beads to be evenly distributed and facilitates insulation work.
Yes, our blower injector is offered with the purchase of 2 cubic meters of polystyrene insulation beads. It allows easy injection of the beads into hollow walls, partitions, or behind plasterboard to achieve uniform insulation.
Polystyrene beads for insulation are particularly suitable for insulating between a wall and a partition when there is an air gap. They can easily slip into cavities and allow for the treatment of hard-to-reach areas without major work.
The quantity depends on the volume to be filled. To calculate the requirement, you need to multiply the length of the wall by the height and then by the thickness of the cavity. Once the volume is obtained in cubic meters, you can convert it into liters to choose the right volume of polystyrene beads for insulation.
We have a volume calculator on our website.
The cost of insulation by injecting polystyrene beads depends on the area to be insulated, the thickness of the void to be filled, and the installation method. Buying polystyrene beads for insulation remains a practical and economical solution for many thermal insulation jobs.
We have a volume calculator on our site.
No, expanded polystyrene does not mold. It is a hydrophobic and rot-proof material that does not retain water like some fibrous insulators. Under proper installation conditions, it retains its insulating properties over time.
When properly implemented in a suitable cavity, polystyrene beads remain stable and maintain consistent insulation over time.
