Both are polystyrene insulation materials. XPS is predestined for perimeter insulation because it is pressure-resistant, water-repellent, and thermal insulating.
But there is also EPS for thermal insulation under the floor slab. This must then have the abbreviation "PB" at the end of the designation, e.g., EPS 035 PB. PB: Exterior thermal insulation under the floor slab against soil (outside the sealing)
Often, the two insulation materials can already be distinguished by their color. EPS is usually white. XPS is often colored pink, green, blue, purple, or yellow.
However, EPS sold as perimeter insulation boards also often has color. For example, EPS 035 PW (PW: Exterior thermal insulation of walls against soil outside the sealing)
