Kingspan · GreenGuard LG XPS insulation board

GreenGuard GG100-LG

100 psi XPS for the heaviest engineered loads. Kingspan names low-temperature freezer floors among its uses, alongside runways, bridge abutments and parking decks.

D.W. Ross supplies GreenGuard board for freezer and cold storage floors, and the grade is chosen with you against the slab, the load and the racking.

Before you specify it

  • The current data sheet does not state an ASTM C578 type for this grade. Confirm the listing against the job before it goes into a specification.
  • Kingspan's design note: vertical compressive strength is measured at 5% deformation or yield, and because XPS is visco-elastic, design safety factors should be used against long-term creep. Kingspan suggests 3:1 for static loads and asks to be called for dynamic loads.
  • From the data sheet: the board is combustible. Protect it from high heat sources; a protective or thermal barrier may be required as specified in the building code.
