Hello everyone, I bring you an explanation video, I suppose everyone already knows what extruded polystyrene is, for those who don't know, I have recorded this video explaining what it is, how it is used and where to buy. Greetings and I hope it helps you!!

I haven’t watched the whole video as I’m not a Spanish speaker but the example shown at the beginning appeared to be what is also known as XPS foam. At least the blue blocks similar to the one shown are sold on eBay under this name. I know there is also a product produced in pink, which I think may be denser, but I don’t know the correct term for this.

Everything is XPS, red, blue, beige, green... the difference, as you say, is the density.

Thanks for posting.
I have used some of the Blue Foam, but only offcuts from when I worked in a school.
I almost managed to get the school to add some for me on their order (me paying),
but the technician left & not long after so did I. 

I should do as you suggest & track down a supply.
So far the DIY stores have been a complete wash out, only stocking a VERY crumbly
pale yellow equivalent.
