Hello everyone, I'm the technical consultant of Longer. When chatting with suppliers and construction workers, people often ask: "Is there a special size of XPS backing board available?" "For outdoor terraces, can we get a more waterproof one?" In many project scenarios, standard boards simply don't work, and using them haphazardly will only cause trouble. Today, I'll open up and tell you the truth, when you need customization and how to customize in Longer. Whether it's for export, outdoor use, or basements, I'll explain everything clearly to you.
I.Don't force yourself to choose the standard board. Customization is much more convenient.
Not all tasks need to be customized. But in these cases, choosing standard boards would be a complete waste of time and money; customization is the right approach.
1.The size is special. Cutting the standard board causes pain.
For instance, when renovating old houses or decorating irregular spaces, the dimensions of the walls and floors are quite strange. The standard 4x8-foot boards are wasted after being cut in half, and they have to be pieced together repeatedly, resulting in extremely low construction efficiency. Some commercial projects have specific designs, requiring boards of specific lengths and widths. Customization can ensure a perfect fit, eliminating the need for unnecessary fuss.
2. In special situations, ordinary boards cannot withstand the pressure.
Like outdoor terraces, which are exposed to wind, sun, heat and cold alternations, ordinary boards won't last long before they deform; basement floors are damp and need to be insulated, and regular models simply can't handle it. At this point, custom-made solutions are necessary. The density and waterproofing level can be adjusted, perfectly fitting the scenario, and there's no need for rework later.
3. Export orders have their own specific rules
Exporting companies all know that the requirements for building materials vary from country to country. The EU demands environmental certification, while the US has specific requirements regarding measurement units. Standard boards often fail to meet these standards. Customized products can precisely match these requirements, and the packaging and labels can also be modified as needed. This way, the products can pass through customs smoothly without any issues.
II. In the case of Longer customization, all of these can be modified as per your requirements.
Many people think that customization just involves changing the size. But there's much more to it. From size to performance, from appearance to export compatibility, everything can be adjusted according to your needs.
1.Size and thickness: Make it as large as you want!
In terms of size, whether it's a large board that is larger than 4x8 feet or a small irregular board, as long as you provide a drawing, we can make it. The thickness can be flexible, ranging from 6mm to over 20mm. For example, if the basement requires a thicker insulation layer, 25mm or 30mm can be arranged. The load-bearing and insulation can be completed in one step.
2. Density performance: Enhanced for greater durability
For outdoor and industrial environments that require durability, a high-density option should be chosen; for indoor construction that aims for lightness, the density should be adjusted to a moderate level. Additional benefits can be added for waterproofing and insulation. Shower areas need high waterproofing, and areas in cold regions need strong insulation. These features can meet the requirements and are more suitable than standard panels.
3. Branding: Adhere to your own logo, which is more professional.
If we go for a private brand, we can print your logo and specifications on the board, making it look professional and enhancing the recognizability. We can also customize the packaging. For export, we can provide wooden packaging and moisture-proof packaging as required. We will handle all of this for you.
4. Export Compliance: Assist You in Adhering to Regulations in All Countries
To produce custom XPS tile backboards, we first need to understand the regulations of the target country. We will meet all the environmental protection and fire prevention standards. The unit labels and the language of the instructions will also be in accordance with the local requirements. We won't be rejected due to non-compliance.
III. Customization is just three steps away, simple and without hassle.
Don't think customizing is troublesome or that coordinating back and forth is tiring. Just three simple steps and you'll easily get the product you want.
Step 1: Clearly articulate the requirements, and the more detailed, the better.
Tell us clearly what it is for (outdoor, basement or exit), what the dimensions are (length, width, height), and what effect is needed (waterproofing, insulation). If you have the drawings, please send them directly. This will be more accurate. For example, if you say "An outdoor board for exporting to the United States, 3x6 feet, resistant to low temperatures", we can immediately come up with a solution.
Step 2: We will propose a plan and first produce samples for verification.
We have received your request. We will provide you with the solution within 1-2 working days, including parameters, quotations and delivery time. If you are not sure, we can first make a small sample for you to review. Once you are satisfied with the appearance and performance, we will proceed with mass production to avoid any problems with large-scale production.
Step 3: Confirm the order and wait for delivery.
The samples are fine. Once we sign the contract and you pay the deposit, we will start the production. During the production process, we will keep you informed of the progress in real time. If there are any issues, we can make changes at any time. Once the products are ready, whether it's domestic delivery or export customs declaration, we will handle everything for you throughout the process.
IV. Two real cases for your reference
Let me show you two custom orders we have done. See if any of them resemble your project.
Case 1: Outdoor Terrace Customization Edition
A client wanted to build a terrace for their villa. It needed to be resistant to both heat and cold, have strong waterproofing properties, and be of irregular dimensions. We made a 20mm thick high-density board for him, which enhanced the waterproofing performance. The size precisely matched the shape of the terrace. It has been used for over two years and has not deformed or leaked water. The client was extremely satisfied.
Case 2: Customized Products for Export to Europe
A foreign trade boss wanted to export to Europe and ensure compliance with the EU environmental standards. The packaging had to be in millimeter units and be moisture-proof. We adjusted the formula according to European regulations, determined the dimensions, and also prepared an English manual and certifications. The goods passed the customs inspection smoothly without any hitches.
V. Frequently Asked Questions, Helping You Avoid Pitfalls
How many units should be ordered for the customization?
There is no mandatory requirement. Both small batch samples and large quantity purchases can be accepted. The larger the quantity, the more cost-effective the unit price will be. Just communicate with the sales department for details.
2. How much longer does customization take compared to the standard board?
It usually takes 3 to 5 days, depending on the complexity. Just changing the size is quick; but if we need to optimize the performance and adapt to the export requirements, it will take a bit longer. We will clearly inform you of the delivery time in advance, so it won't affect your work.
3. Can custom-made items be returned?
Since it is a custom-made product, if the design you confirm doesn't match the original plan (such as different dimensions or performance), we will redo or adjust it for free. If you change your requirements yourself, we will also try our best to optimize it for you and minimize the losses.
Finally, let me say something truly honest.
Customizing XPS backing panels, the key lies in choosing the right manufacturer. Avoid those who only use templates; they are prone to problems later on. Longer has been in this business for over a decade. They are experienced in custom work for outdoor, basements, and export projects, and can accurately meet your needs.
If you have any customization ideas, whether it's regarding size, performance or export, feel free to talk to us. No empty promises here. Just follow your requirements and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble and get the suitable product.
