DuraFloat floatation foam is an extruded polystyrene insulation encased with plastic; it can be used for floating docks, boathouses, floating structures and more. DuraFloat billets are most commonly used for docks, rafts, and boathouses. DuraFloat billets are made from styrofoam consisting of millions of tiny closed-cell air bubbles leading to extreme buoyancy. It also means that a DuraFloat billet cannot become water-logged. 
DuraFloat is noted for its water repellency, high compressive strength, and superior insulation value.

Encapsulating the floatation eliminates foam breakdown (little white beads and flakes of foam floating in the water). The heavy duty tough plastic encapsulation ensures dependability and durability and inhibits the absorption of gas, oil and other contaminants in the water. As well, it prevents marine life (muscles, barnacles, otters etc.) from attaching to or nesting in the foam wherein loss of buoyancy occurs.

DuraFloat billets are lightweight and easy to install, so structures can be built quickly and efficiently. It takes only one cubic foot of DuraFloat billets to float 55 pounds in freshwater and 63 pounds in saltwater.
