Foamglas Perinsul SL

‘FOAMGLAS® PERINSUL® SL is an innovative product developed by PITTSBURGH CORNING to eliminate thermal bridges at joints within wall constructions. FOAMGLAS® PERINSUL® SL blocks, manufactured from FOAMGLAS®, are designed to form an effective insulated joint between vertical wall insulation and horizontal floor or roof insulation. Possessing all the thermal properties for which FOAMGLAS® is well proven, together with the exceptionally high compressive strength of FOAMGLAS®, cold bridging is eliminated and structural integrity maintained.

Applications:
FOAMGLAS® PERINSUL® SL has a compressive strength of 3000 kN/m2 and, when a safety factor of 3 is used, it has a load bearing capacity of 1 N/mm2 without compression or deformation. It can therefore be installed at the base of structural walls in the following situations:

• inner walls (block or brick)
• outer walls (block or brick)
• parapets
• access points
• support areas for roof trusses’
