Design and Custom Manufacturing

Styro Rail provides design and custom manufacturing services tailored to specific design requirements. This encompasses non-standard dimensions and unique shapes. EPS is versatile, compatible with various materials and shapes. Its 2D or 3D cut forms are lightweight and multi-functional.

Our team of engineers and architects will help you identify the optimal EPS shape to meet your needs. For complex shapes and assembly details, we provide 3D concepts, concept drawings, shop drawings, and prototypes.

Whether for one-time use products, multi-part assemblies, or mass production, custom-cut EPS is a cost-effective alternative to molded manufacturing.

Lamination

Styro Rail provides a laminating service that bonds EPS to a range of construction materials. These materials can be rigid, semi-rigid, or plastic films and can be laminated using compatible adhesives such as OSB, plywood, aspenite, magna board, cardboard, kraft paper, plastic films, vapor barriers, air barriers, and more. Depending on the material used, these laminated panels can be delivered on pallets or rolls, either packaged or unpackaged. Our advanced equipment allows for the creation of shiplapped panels on one or multiple sides.

Packing and Filling

Styro Rail provides filling and packing services using polystyrene beads, suitable for equipment in the mattress industry, healthcare sector, and recreational settings.

We offer beads in various densities to meet specific quality and durability requirements. These polystyrene beads are commonly used in applications like bean bags and rehabilitation pillows.

MTQ │ MTO Certificate

Styro Rail offers letters of conformity for expanded polystyrene used in road infrastructure projects managed by the Ministry of Transportation of Québec (MTQ) and the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO). Lightweight fill blocks are independently tested, and an official report is provided for each project lot.

Recycling

Styro Rail recycles 100% of its post-production waste and participates in various post-consumer collection programs where Type 6 expanded polystyrene is collected and recycled at our facilities.

Most products manufactured by Styro Rail contain a variable percentage of recycled material, based on client requirements. Products with a high recycled content are available for specific projects upon request.

To support businesses and municipalities interested in recycling Type 6 expanded polystyrene, Styro Rail establishes collection points and enhances existing recycling programs.

Shop Drawing

To ensure the quality and accuracy of our finished products, Styro Rail creates and provides shop drawings for client approval before initiating custom projects.

Installation Drawing

For large-scale or complex projects requiring specific installation sequences or custom-shaped products, Styro Rail provides detailed installation drawings to simplify on-site assembly.
