FoamGlas® /
FoamGlas® is a durable, rigid, and lightweight insulation made of cellular glass. Available either as FoamGlas® One™, READYBOARD T4+ or as Perinsul HL for masonry and stone support.
Product overview
Downloads
With good compressive strength and very low thermal conductivity, FoamGlas® is a versatile material that can be used in many applications. The closed-cell structure of the foamed glass means that it is completely impervious to moisture and is therefore great for use in-grade or in slabs.
Available in three products:
FoamGlas® One™ which comes in block form and can be cut or machined to suit any detail, e.g. sill or parapet support. Also an option for lightweight fill in civil/geotechnical applications with sensitive environments to avoid plastic going into the ground; and:
FoamGlas® READYBOARD T4+ large format block form with a PE foil facer one one side suitable for warm roofs and industrial equipment slab insulation; and:
FoamGlas® Perinsul HL which comes prefinished with two faces of pre-applied membrane making it the perfect solution for a masonry/slab or masonry/grade interface.
Benefits and features
Applications
Moisture impervious, chemically inert and non-combustible
Very low thermal conductivity, 0.042 - 0.058 W/(mK) product dependent
Made from recylced glass, appropriate for sensitive environmental applications
Thermally separating slabs e.g. garage from main dwelling
Thermal break at the base of masonry walls or at junction between slab and ground
Custom details to suit joinery requirements, e.g. window sill support, parapet junction
