Ecologically manufactured on a large scale in a modern plant in Belgium, FOAMGLAS® comprises 66%post consumer waste glass and silica sand with other additives.  The plant is equipped with the latest heat-recycling equipment, ensuring our commitment to the environment.

IMPERVIOUS TO WATER VAPOUR FOAMGLAS® does not require the use of a vapour barrier. Its thermal insulation value remains CONSTANT indefinitely. Each glass cell is hermetically sealed during the manufacturing process ensuring that FOAMGLAS® is totally impervious to water vapour and all other gases.		NON-COMBUSTIBLE FOAMGLAS® will not burn, support combustion or give off toxic fumes. Its inorganic construction ensures that FOAMGLAS® is completely non-combustible.
WATERPROOF FOAMGLAS® will not absorb any moisture. Manufactured from only glass and carbon, its closed cell construction and glass cell walls retain all the water resistant properties of glass.		HIGH COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH FOAMGLAS® provides full support to membranes and heavy loads; for example garden roofs, car parks and floors. An exceptionally high compressive strength of up to 1600KN/m2 (depending on type) ensures that FOAMGLAS® will not compress or settle even under the most arduous conditions.
DIMENSIONALLY STABLE FOAMGLAS® will not crack, warp, buckle or become stressed and provides protection and support for waterproofing or floor slabs. Totally unaffected by variations in temperature or humidity and with a low co-efficient of linear expansion comparable to steel or concrete, FOAMGLAS® will not deform.		RESISTANT TO ATTACK FOAMGLAS® cannot be damaged by birds or vermin. Cellular glass is inorganic and will not rot; FOAMGLAS® therefore provides no food or nesting source for birds or vermin and does not support the growth of micro-organisms and bacteria.

FOAMGLAS® takes the standing seam into the future

A long life solution - a system that is air tight and without cold bridges, totally impervious to water and water vapour, and a fire safe construction because of the non-combustibility of FOAMGLAS® Cellular Glass Insulation.

The early weather proofing of the building ensures contractual economies.
 

The weather resistant, energy saving FOAMGLAS® roof system for standing seam. FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation creates the perfect fusion between high performance and aesthetics when a standing seam roof is specified. Cold bridging is totally eliminated by means of the unique fixing system and FOAMGLAS® is guaranteed to perform for the lifetime of the building. There is no alternative worth even thinking about.

BUILD TO LAST

The FOAMGLAS® warm roof solution for standing seam ensures that your new metal roof will not get off to a cold start!

	Sports Hall of the European School In Brussels with zinc cladding:

SIMPLE INSTALLATION

The FOAMGLAS® metal plate is applied to the READYBOARD using a gas torch to melt the polypropylene facing and heat the bitumen surface.			The plate is hammered into the FOAMGLAS® with the serrated edge cross-ways to the roof slope.
A ± 3mm thick high performance polyester cored sand finished felt is then applied by torch to the surface of the READYBOARD.			The zinc sheet is then cut, formed and delivered to site.
As required by VM Sogem, a 500 gauge polythene separation sheet is then laid over the felt and the zinc sheet installed.			The separate sheets are then crimped together, forming the standing seam.
