Cold floors aren’t just uncomfortable — they’re often a sign your home is losing heat.

In many New Zealand homes, especially older ones, warmth escapes through the floor without you realising. That means your heating has to work harder, and your home never quite feels right.

Find out how Expol underfloor insulation can help keep the heat in and save you money on heating this winter.

Tomorrow is our Bean Bag Take Back Day in AKL & CHCH♻️

If you’ve got an old bean bag at home, this is your chance to keep it out of landfill and return the EPS for proper recycling.

And remember — you don’t always have to throw it away. If the cover’s worn, you can remove the beans and refresh it with a new cover instead. But for those ready to dispose of theirs, we’re providing a responsible pathway to recycle the material properly.

One day. AKL & CHCH only.
Let’s keep useful material in circulation where it belongs.

Sustainability at EXPOL isn’t a trend — it’s been part of who we are for over a decade.

We’ve invested in EPS recycling infrastructure and take-back initiatives because responsibility doesn’t stop at manufacturing.

This week, we’re sharing more about why recycling matters to us, and how our Bean Bag Take Back Day is one small part of a much bigger commitment.

Real sustainability is built on long-term action, not short-term claims. ♻️

Our Solar Installation is Complete! ☀️

We’re proud to share that the solar panels at our Expol Auckland branch are now fully installed — marking another milestone in our commitment to building a more sustainable future for Aotearoa.

This new solar system will generate over 145,000 kWh of clean energy every year, reducing our carbon footprint, lowering our operational power usage, and supporting New Zealand’s move toward cleaner energy solutions.

A major thank you to Energy for their work and expertise. It took just seven weeks from the system being sold to generating renewable energy on the roof.

This project forms part of our wider sustainability journey. We are leading the way in EPS manufacturing, recycling and environmental initiatives.

🌱 Spring into action with smarter building decisions! 🌱

Hey builders, architects and DIY-enthusiasts — our latest blog is here, and it’s a timely reminder that your foundation matters. With the warmer months arriving, there’s never been a better moment to think about insulating your concrete slab.

👉 Read it now: https://www.expol.co.nz/spring-into-action-insulate-your-concrete-slab/

Here’s a quick snapshot of what we cover:

Why an uninsulated slab could be costing you up to 10% of a building’s heat loss.
EXPOL Polystyrene Insulation

How insulating beneath the slab doesn’t just keep things warm in winter — it also helps prevent unwanted heat gain in the summer, leading to more consistent comfort and less reliance on cooling.

Our trusted solutions from EXPOL: two standout options like the SLABX200 high-performance EPS board, designed for strength as well as thermal performance.

A reminder: Once the concrete is poured, it’s too late to retrofit that under-slab insulation. Planning now means locking in long-term benefits.

🔧 Whether you’re in project-planning mode or already laying out your site for the season, this is one of those details you want locked in early.

If you’re working on a new build or thinking about upgrading your approach on slab insulation, this post is for you.

🏡 Building New? Warm up from the Ground Up with Expol.

When it comes to building your dream home, there’s one decision you only get one chance to make – insulating your concrete slab.

Your floor is the foundation of your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. Without slab insulation, valuable warmth escapes straight into the ground, leaving you with higher power bills and a home that never quite feels warm enough.

✅ Save on energy costs for the life of your home
✅ Create a warmer, drier, healthier living space
✅ Future-proof your investment from day one

Once the concrete is poured, there’s no going back.
So, before you build, make sure you start from the ground up with EXPOL Slab Insulation.
