Expanded polyethylene (aka EPE foam) refers to foams made from polyethylene. Typically it is made from expanded pellets (‘EPE bead’) made with the use of a blowing agent, followed by expansion into a mould in a steam chest – the process is similar to that used to make expanded polystyrene foam. EPE foams are low-density, semi-rigid, closed-cell foam.
It has many benefits and is a great option for comfort and durability and one of the most economical options when it comes to wood flooring underlay. All our underlay products are fully compatible with our G12 range of engineered flooring products.
