Karachi's intense summer heat drives up electricity bills as rooftops absorb sunlight. IBS installs INSUGREEN XPS extruded polystyrene boards for roof insulation, blocking heat transfer through roofs and walls to keep buildings cooler and reduce cooling costs.
In Karachi, Pakistan, the summer sun is relentless. From May through September, rooftop temperatures can soar, and unprotected roof slabs absorb that heat throughout the day, then release it into the building at night. This means your air conditioner has to work harder and run longer just to keep the indoor temperature comfortable, which directly drives up your electricity bill. In a city where electricity costs are already a major household expense, this constant heat gain is a problem that many property owners overlook.
At IBS Infinite Building Solutions, we solve this problem with INSUGREEN XPS extruded polystyrene insulation boards. XPS is a professional rigid insulation material that blocks heat transfer through roofs and walls, keeping the interior cooler in summer and warmer in winter. INSUGREEN, launched in 2017, is a certified XPS board that is moisture-resistant, durable and maintains its thermal performance even in humid conditions like those found in Karachi.

Your Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can XPS roof insulation reduce my electricity bill in Karachi?
Helps reduce roof heat transfer and cooling demand. Results depend on the building, insulation thickness and installation. In Karachi's hot climate, where rooftop heat is the primary driver of high summer electricity bills, this translates into meaningful monthly savings on air conditioning. The exact reduction depends on the size of your roof, the thickness of the insulation installed, and how much of your cooling load comes from rooftop heat gain.
How long does XPS insulation last on a roof in Pakistan?
XPS (extruded polystyrene) is a highly durable material that is resistant to moisture and compression. When properly installed and protected, INSUGREEN XPS insulation can last for decades without losing its insulating performance. Unlike some other insulation materials, XPS does not absorb water, so it maintains its thermal resistance even in humid conditions like those found in Karachi.
Can XPS insulation be installed on an existing roof or only during construction?
XPS insulation can be installed on both new and existing roofs. For new buildings, the boards are typically installed as part of the roof construction. For existing buildings, the insulation can be applied on top of the roof slab and then covered with a protective screed or waterproofing layer. IBS assesses your roof condition and recommends the most suitable installation approach for your building.
Is XPS insulation suitable for cold storage and poultry farms in Pakistan?
Yes. INSUGREEN XPS insulation is widely used in cold storages, poultry farms, and dairy farms across Pakistan. These facilities need to maintain consistent internal temperatures, and XPS boards provide excellent thermal resistance while being moisture-resistant and easy to clean. This helps reduce energy costs and keeps produce, poultry, and dairy products at the right temperature.
