‘FOAMGLAS® can be used for the thermal insulation of floor slabs at ground level. Its resistance to water and water vapour ensures that the insulation remains constant for the lifetime of the building, particularly important where the area of construction is subject to high levels of moisture caused by the water table.
The use of FOAMGLAS® Floorboard and Floorboard as insulation below the floor slab or building raft has distinct economic advantages. Cellular glass does not compress or creep and therefore the structural engineer is able to design the raft/floor thickness and reinforcement based on the ground level condition, this brings about a reduction in thickness and reinforcement with considerable cost savings.
Pittsburgh Corning through Cellular Glass Engineering, provides full design facilities based on engineers design criteria. The services of Cellular Glass Engineering are available on line at www.cellularglassengineering.com.
FOAMGLAS® provides an excellent insulation medium when installed above the concrete slab with various floor finishes.'
