Filcor 20 Price*
When buying non-degradable void former, as with other expenses, the price of the product is important. It turns out that the most common grade from the Filcor family would be the Filcor 20.
Its price breakdown is based on 2 factors.
The first is the thermal conductivity.
The second is the load resistance checked with the appropriate deformation for the given load.
In this article we will check how they affect the Filcor 20 price.
Filcor 20 Common Grade 
Filcor 20 is commonly used as a lightweight material for forming voids and openings within concrete structures. It is perhaps the most common product in everyday "groundworks" life.
In fact, Filcor 20 is light, weighting as little as 15kg per cubic meter. Though its low weight and price is most widely recognized as being the best price-value product.
While there are 9 Filcor grades available , only Filcor 20 stands out from other grades. Why? It requires less raw materials to make-hence its low price.
The cost of manufacturing Filcor is considered linearly proportional to its density. Filcor 20 price is the lowest compared to the other Filcor grades: 40, 70, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 190.
For this reason Filcor 20 would be the cheapest to buy.
For instance Filcor 20 2400mmx1200mmx150mm size cost is £50 ex VAT.
Standard concrete slab thickness in residential construction is 4 to 5 inches. This is why Filcor 20 and Filcor 45 are often considered as a standard grade.
Filcor Price List 
Generally speaking thermal conductivity and density are the basic parameters that affect Filcor price.
The price also depends on the EPS cost on the worldwide market. The price list of expanded polystyrene is constantly changing so Filcor 20 as well.
In general, the price list of Filcor EPS grades depends on standard factors such as domestic demand, availability of raw materials and fuel prices, including oil and inflation.
Moreover, the cost of transport was always included in the final product price. The raw materials needed to produce Filcor are delivered to the factory, used for production, then once again delivered to the building site.
As you would expect, most factories producing polystyrene use a lot of gas. The more they pay for gas the more we will pay for the final product.
If someone expects Filcor price to decrease by the end of the year, he may be disappointed.
What time of the year Filcor void former is the cheapest? 
There isn't such a thing as the best time to buy Filcor. However, winter tends to be a popular time to buy. Is because most people wait to get their building work completed in the springtime.
Having this considered, another question would be to buy in winter and wait for the summer to come? If you have enough free space to store Filcor, that may be worth considering. However, it seems obvious from an economical point of view that storing large size Filcor blocks won't be cheap.
Filcor Production Cost 
Factors of production are the inputs needed for creating a good void former and the factors of production include land, labor and capital. Raw materials and labour are the main production costs for Cordek® company.
Manufacturing Filcor expenses increase as production increases. Raw material expenses strongly refer to the cost of Filcor.
In recent months, the thermoplastic material shortage phenomenon has occurred, causing prices of raw materials to rise in Europe.
Higher Filcor grade, higher price we pay! 
The more materials involved in the Filcor production process the more will cost at the end. For instance Filcor 190 production process is significantly longer, it usually requires use of a strictly defined technique.
