Foamglas 'T4, S3 AND F'
insulation for raised access floor systems
‘FOAMGLAS® can be used where access flooring is installed over concrete slab directly exposed to the ground or cold rooms, when the use of the building demands habitable climatic conditions. Its high compressive strength allows the pedestals to be fixed above the insulation ensuring there is no cold bridge.
The FOAMGLAS® system does not require system manufacturers to make any modifications to their product.'
