Product Attributes

What Makes Foamglas® Insulation A Superb Substrate for Waterproofing Membranes

Dimensionally Stable

Better matches substrate expansion and contraction than other insulations
Will not compress or deform leading to tears or punctures
Remains flat for the life of the roof

Water Tight

100% closed-cell material
Will not absorb water
No warping or swelling
Membrane leaks remain local and are easy to repair

Vapor Impermeable

Prevents the passage of water vapor and other gases
Condensation control with no additional vapor barrier
Insulation will not accumulate moisture over time

Non-Combustible

Made from glass
Zero flame spread and smoke developed

High Compressive Strength

Designed to withstand loads which crush most other insulating materials
Can eliminate thermal bridges where other conductive load-bearing material was once required
Allows for thinner slabs in parking and plaza decks and green roofs

Rot and Insect Resistant

Inorganic
Not a source of food for rodents, insects, or micro-organisms

Commercial Roof Types

In countless high-stakes environments, Foamglas® cellular glass insulation is protecting what can’t be replaced or recovered. From archives to airports, casinos to paper mills--wherever mission critical building roofs need protection -- Foamglas® cellular glass insulation delivers uncompromising assurance, and a higher level of redundancy.
