Services
Tru-R Insulation
Tru-R Insulation delivers stable R-values between 3.1-4.3 per inch, offering energy-efficient thermal resistance for foundations, walls, and roofing systems. Its closed-cell structure minimizes moisture absorption while maintaining performance under freeze-thaw cycles. Ideal for green building design, this material reduces energy consumption and supports sustainable construction practices across residential and commercial projects.
Geofoam
Geofoam provides engineered lightweight fill solutions that reduce lateral loads on structures while accelerating construction timelines. Meeting ASTM D6817 standards, it offers predictable material behavior for applications like bridge abutments, retaining walls, and stadium seating. Its inert properties prevent leaching, and weather-resistant installation ensures project schedule reliability across infrastructure and urban redevelopment projects.
Protective Packaging
Our protective packaging solutions combine molded polystyrene's shock-absorbing qualities with precision engineering for temperature-sensitive and fragile cargo. Available in multiple densities, these custom-fitted solutions reduce shipping damage while maintaining lightweight efficiency. The material's recyclability and thermal properties make it ideal for medical, food, and electronics industries requiring secure, sustainable packaging systems.
Custom Molded Polystyrene
Custom molded polystyrene components provide tailored insulation and protective solutions through computer-aided design and precision manufacturing. This process accommodates complex shapes and specifications for construction applications, industrial packaging, and architectural elements while maintaining cost-effectiveness for both small and large production runs.
Insulated Panel Systems
Our engineered insulated panel systems integrate structural strength with thermal efficiency for building envelopes and industrial applications. These systems combine oriented strand board with rigid insulation to create durable, energy-efficient wall and roof assemblies that meet demanding performance requirements in residential and commercial construction projects.

Stopped here to recycle styrofoam. I called ahead and the employee who helped me was courteous. It was very easy and quick to recycle styrofoam here, and I'm really happy they offer this free service.

One of the most unprofessional bunch in all EIFS supply stores, especially the sales manager. Not only a horrible representation of a professional but also an unethical spineless and lazy human. Would stab his own mother in the back if it meant he can make another dollar for himself.
