Dublin-based Corcoran Products Limited has celebrated 40 years of importing and distributing STYROFOAMTM insulation to the Irish construction market.

Corcoran sold its first load of STYROFOAM to developers of a mushroom farm in the 1960s, where a controlled, regular temperature was required.

"Since then the business has sold an estimated 15 million square meters of STYROFOAM products to help insulate the floors, walls and roofs of countless office blocks, apartments, hotels and public buildings across the country - enough to cover Croke Park an incredible 1,200 times," said a spokesman for the firm.

Well known Irish developments insulated with STYROFOAM products supplied by Corcoran include the Irish Financial Services Centre; Spencer Dock; Dublin Port Tunnel; part of Trinity College’s library and the Ballymun regeneration scheme, demonstrating its versatile nature as well its ability to withstand the Irish weather.
