New Buiding and Renovation
- Tile cladding
- Timber or metal support structure, mechanically fastened through the insulation to the concrete structure
- FOAMGLAS® insulation bonded with adhesive
Physical properties and advantages of the FOAMGLAS® insulation system
- Variety of cladding systems (lightweight to medium-heavy cladding materials, small, medium and large size units.
- Best thermal insulation performance for narrow wall construction. Will retain its design insulation value, providing protection against heat gain and loss, for the lifetime of the building.
- Minimal thermal bridges with fastening plates applied to the outer surface of the insulation with through fastening bolts.
- Durable/continuous insulation performance (resistant to moisture, excellent dimensional stability: no shrinkage, warping or swelling)
- Gap behind the outer leaf can be reduced to a minimum to allow for installation
- Impervious to water of any kind.
- Non-combustible insulation system. No flame spread across the façade.
- Resistant to rodents and vermin.
- Ecological: cellular glass is totally free from CFC, HCFC, HFA and other harmful substances.
- Sustainability: Sustainable performance for up to 50 years with protection against heat, cold moisture and fire.
