    Long term EPS is a better solution. It has the capability to dry out and holds its R-value. Once XPS off gases it’s cfc’s r-value goes down and takes on water and doesn’t dry out. Also, take a look at XPS’s warranty.. they don’t even cover 100% of rvalue where EPS does. Double the price for XPS and all smoke and mirrors.
