Are you planning to deliver extruded polystyrene foam Penoplexna to your facility? Are you thinking about what kind of transport to deliver insulation and calculating where your purchase will fit? Then our article will definitely help you about how many pieces there are in a Penoplex package, how many m² of insulation one pack contains, and what are the packaging sizes of boards from a well-known brand. Let's look at all the parameters of Penoplex in detail!
How many slabs are there in a Penoplex package?
Most recently, the manufacturer adjusted the dimensions of Penoplex slabs. If earlier the length was 1200 mm, now it is 1185 mm, and the width of Penoplex has decreased from 600 to 585 mm. Accordingly, the packaging parameters have changed somewhat, making the question relevant: how many sheets are there in a Penoplex package?
-
Penoplex 20 mm:how many pieces are in the package after changing the sheet format? This is only relevant for thermal insulation with the Comfort marking, used for apartments and private houses. Also in slab thickness 20, professional Penoplex insulation is produced for walls of the basement and first floors - Base and thermal insulation Facade for plaster insulation systems in this thickness. In the current format of slab insulation, one extrusion package contains 20 pieces.
- Penoplex 30 mm:
this thickness is quite popular with two-layer insulation. Therefore, the question of how many pieces are in a Penoplex package is very relevant. All of the above brands are produced with this height of slabs; roofing material must also be added to them. These slabs are used in the construction of all types of roofing structures, in the construction of parking lots and stylobates. Under the shrink-wrapped cover of the package there are 13 Penoplex boards of this thickness.
- Penoplex 40 mm:
The thermal insulation Geo and Penoplex 45 start from this height. These are high-strength slabs for thermal insulation of road surfaces, buried elements of buildings, basements and foundations, insulation of floors and inversion-type roofs. The insulation materials mentioned in the previous paragraphs also have this thickness. All insulation materials are packaged in packs of exactly 10 pieces. Only for the Comfort brand is it appropriate to ask: how many sheets are in the package? Under the film, 9 sheets of extruded polystyrene foam in this thickness are now supplied per package.
- Penoplex 50 mm:
the most popular thickness of thermal insulation products. It is available in all modifications of the manufacturer. How many Penoplex pieces are in the package still needs to be figured out. There are exactly 7 sheets in a pack of packaged extrusion Comfort, Foundation. The equivalent of the professional line, Geo, in the mentioned Penoplex thickness, has the same number of products in the packaging. Under the shrink film of the package Roofing, Facade, slab insulation Penoplex of increased strength - 45, Base you will find 8 sheets per package. Be careful when calculating and ordering packs of Penoplex; if in doubt, see our table.
- Penoplex 100 mm:
One of the most popular sizes of Penoplex insulation is available in all brands of the brand with the exception of Roof and Wall. It is noteworthy that there is no need to be puzzled by how many pieces there are in which pack of Penoplex of a given thickness, since all products will contain 4 pieces of Penoplex in a pack.
Extruded polystyrene foam, about which you can find unique information here, is also supplied in packs of slab thicknesses of 60 and 80 mm; there are orders for packs of thick insulation 150 mm. We studied the packaging configuration parameters of Penoplex and collected all the data of the packs in a compact table.

How many m2 is in a Penoplex package?
Lightweight and effective insulation quickly became in demand among developers. Their employees quickly switched to calculations in the new format of slabs in a pack. Let us determine how many squares are in a Penoplex package in order to understand what volumes of work can be done from each package.
Naturally, to order packs, it is important to know how many Penoplex slabs are in the package. The product of the quantity with the area of one slab will give accurate data about the pack. But in order not to calculate on your own, read our article further, everything is written there!
- Penoplex 30 mm.
How many square meters are in a pack is easy to understand using the example of any package of thermal insulation from the professional Penoplex line or thermal insulation for private households within this thickness. All Penoplex slab insulation made of polystyrene foam of this modification is laid in thicknesses of 13 pieces, which in square meters will be 9.01 per package.
- Penoplex
50 mm.
How many squares in a pack of this thickness must be determined from the data on the number of products in the Penoplex package. For materials with a quantity of 7 slabs, the area will be equal to 4.85 square meters per pack of slabs in this thickness of Penoplex. Also, everything is clear if there is a need to buy 50 mm Penoplex packaging in the Roofing version or insulation slabs for external walls - Facade, then it is also easy to understand how many m2 are in a slab package. One pack of Penoplex will yield 5.54 m2. - Penoplex 100 mm.
How many m2 in a package of thermal insulation of such thickness of Penoplex slabs should be determined by the marking of the pack of insulation. So the Facade and Base extrusion pack is designed for 2.772 m2 in this thickness. When planning transportation, you should take into account the increased dimensions of the Penoplex 45 packaging. In terms of area, sheets of 2400x600 mm occupy 5,760 m2 from each package.
How does mineral wool differ?
Mineral wool is a generalized name for fibrous materials obtained from inorganic raw materials. First of all, it is used for thermal insulation of buildings, various technological or household equipment, occupying more than 70% of the turnover of this market segment. Several varieties are produced, the technical requirements for which are set out in GOST 31913-2011.
Difference between mineral wool and material of manufacture
Mineral fibers can be obtained from various inorganic raw materials. During the production of finished products, they are intertwined and firmly bonded to each other, giving the mass overall elasticity and airiness. Depending on the composition of the initial mixtures, there are three main types of such insulation.
Glass wool
Glass wool is made from quartz sand, soda and lime - the same components from which ordinary glass is smelted. Such enterprises often engage in its recycling, involving waste and substandard products in the original mixture.
Ready-made mats have excellent thermal insulation, but are gradually being forced out of the market due to the relatively high fragility of the fibers. Any mechanical impact on them leads to the release of tiny particles with sharp edges. When working with them, it is necessary to use thick protective clothing, eye and respiratory protection. According to safety requirements, glass wool is installed under an outer shell made of durable materials. In this state, it does not pose a threat to human health.
Stone wool (basalt wool)
Stone wool can be obtained from various rocks: diabase, basalite, porphyrite, dolomite, limestone, but basalt, which gives it its second name, is more often used.
Insulating mats containing only basalt fibers resemble glass wool in their properties. They are used exclusively for thermal insulation of process equipment. Material intended for insulation of building structures usually contains synthetic and mineral additives. They play the role of binders, changing the content of which you can achieve the required density and specified mechanical properties.
Slag
Slag is obtained from blast furnace waste. It is slightly cheaper than mineral wool produced by other methods, but is inferior to them in thermal resistance and thermal conductivity. Its tendency to absorb moisture makes it unsuitable for insulating foundations, external walls and roofs. Due to its low environmental safety and fragility, it is not used in residential construction, so we will not consider the dimensions of this insulation.
Differences in mineral wool by release form
With a low specific gravity, good elasticity and the ability to maintain its dimensions, mineral wool is suitable for insulating large areas. In construction and industry, products of two forms are most widespread.
Mats
For insulating flat surfaces of walls and roofs, rigid and semi-rigid rectangular slabs are best suited. They are easily fixed on a solid base and can themselves carry an additional load in the form of a thin outer layer of protective plaster. Usually their thickness is constant throughout the product, but mats with a trapezoidal overall profile are also available.
Stone wool slabs.
Rolls
It is convenient to use soft types of insulation in the form of long strips about 1.0-1.2 meters wide. They are supplied rolled into compact rolls, which is convenient for storage and transportation.

The information will not be complete without saying a few words about the volume of the Penoplex pack. Naturally, this parameter of Penoplex packaging is directly dependent on the size of the Penoplex extruded thermal insulation sheet and the number of products in the package.
The smallest packaging volume is for façade thermal insulation. The dimensions of the Penoplex packaging in the Facade version are 1185x585x150 mm, containing only 2 slabs, and their volume is 0.208. A pack of 5 pieces of the Penoplex brand Base 60 mm has the same volume. The Penoplex 45 package has the largest volume, containing 7 sheets. It is 0.605 m3.

Thermal insulation and noise absorption indicator
The main characteristic of any insulation is the thermal conductivity coefficient. If we take all types of mineral wool, this figure will be within 0.04 Wm*K. This is precisely the determining parameter for insulation. So, for example, 10 cm of mineral wool is insulated in the same way as 25 cm of wood or 120 cm of brick.
The reason for the low thermal conductivity coefficient is the structure of the mineral wool board. The fiberglass included in the composition makes it similar to a duvet. This allows for high thermal protection with a small thickness.
