## Answers:

1. XPS foam board, also known as extruded polystyrene foam board, is a type of rigid insulation board made from polystyrene resin. It has a closed-cell structure which makes it water and moisture resistant.

2. XPS foam board is different from EPS foam board in terms of its manufacturing process and properties. XPS foam board is denser and has a higher compressive strength than EPS foam board, making it more suitable for heavy-duty applications.

3. The advantages of using XPS foam board include its high insulation value, resistance to moisture and water, durability, and ease of installation.

4. XPS foam board is commonly used in applications such as thermal insulation for roofs, walls, and floors, as well as in building foundations and below-grade applications.

5. XPS foam board is considered environmentally friendly as it can help reduce energy consumption by providing efficient insulation, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

6. XPS foam board has excellent thermal insulation properties, with a high R-value per inch, making it an effective insulation material for buildings and construction projects.

7. XPS foam board can be recycled, but the recycling process can be more challenging compared to other materials like EPS foam board.

8. XPS foam board is typically installed by cutting the boards to size, fitting them tightly together, and sealing the joints with tape or adhesive. It can be used in combination with other insulation materials for added efficiency.

9. XPS foam board is available in various thicknesses ranging from 1/4 inch to 4 inches, and in standard sizes of 2x8 feet or 4x8 feet. Custom sizes can also be ordered for specific project requirements.

10. The cost of XPS foam board may be higher compared to materials like EPS foam board or fiberglass insulation, but its long-term benefits in terms of energy savings and durability make it a cost-effective choice for many construction projects.
