Adding STYROFOAM™ Brand Extruded Polystyrene Insulation below the ice slab helps:

• Reduce frost penetration into the subgrade and helps prevent heaving of the slab by slowing heat loss from the subslab, granular base and soil
• Reduce the ice slab refrigeration capacity requirements – lowering energy costs for both seasonally and continuously operated rinks
• Reduce ice-making and deicing time for multipurpose rinks

STYROFOAM Brand Extruded Polystyrene Insulation can also be used to insulate refrigerant lines in ice arenas.
