Foam Glass 40– High quality insulating Foam Glass Aggregate

Description

The Foam Glass UK facility in North Yorkshire is the UK’s first foam glass manufacturing plant and is also the largest plant in the world!
Foam Glass 40 is a lightweight, thermally insulating and load bearing material that can be used to create an insulated and free draining subbase.
Foam Glass 40 can also be used in a wide range of structural solutions for infrastructure construction, housebuilding, roof gardens, yard decks etc

The principle difference between Foam Glass 40 and other foamed glass products on the UK market is its far higher compressive strength. This ensures greater structural properties, less compaction, greater density and smaller cell structure allowing for a thinner layer of foam glass and screed.

See our U value Calculator to calculate your quantities - 

• Foam Glass 40 is manufactured in Yorkshire from purified recycled glass.
• 100% Recycled purified glass – no virgin natural resources are used in production.
• Quick and easy to handle
• Lightest aggregate on the market – reducing carbon footprint
• Ensures a robust substructure
• Reduces stresses thanks to its low specific weight
• High compression strength
• High thermal insulation
• Non-capillary and breathable aggregate

With a 70 kg vibrating compactor, Foam Glass 40 compacts by 5–10% which is up to 20% less compaction compared to other foam glass products on the UK market. The most common use for foam glass in the UK is an insulated clean sub-base to a limecrete floor. See diagrams for recommended build-up of Foam Glass 40 and Limecrete floor. Normally laid at a depth of 100-250mm - please use the attached calculator for instant U Value and quantity calculations.
