Facade:
EWI System, Insulated Renders
The external walls usually represent a large percentage of the overall surface area of a building and thus are a very important element of the total envelope. Replacing external wall insulation is an extremely costly exercise and in many cases virtually impossible. The external wall insulation must provide reliable performance for the entire service life of the building.

Cladding and Rainscreen Systems
FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation is ideal for the most demanding wall and façade situations. With its closed cell vapour tight structure and unique capability to dramatically reduce thermal bridging, FOAMGLAS® has a permanent thermal performance and is proven to stand the test of time.
Technical features and benefits:
- Reducing thermal bridging
External wall insulation systems (EWI) are typically secured to the building structure with many screw fixings. Each screw fixing is a thermal bridge, which passes through the insulation layer and vapour control layer. It is difficult to achieve air tightness and continuity of the insulation.
FOAMGLAS® is adhesive bonded onto the structure, the external reinforcing mesh is secured using a minimal quantity of thermally isolated screw fixings; the renders are then applied. Thermal bridging is minimised, air tightness and continuity of the insulation is greatly improved.
- Vapour control
FOAMGLAS® consists of pure glass. It has a truly hermetically sealed, closed cell glass structure, it’s gas and vapour tight. FOAMGLAS® and its adhesive is vapour tight, providing both: an insulation system and high performance vapour barrier in one material.
- Waterproof
FOAMGLAS® consists of pure glass, it has a truly hermetically sealed, closed cell glass structure. It is gas and vapour tight. The closed cell structure prevents water absorption, penetration or tracking by capillary action.
- Dimensionally stable
FOAMGLAS® has a low coefficient of thermal movement, in the same range as concrete and steel, it is simply adhesive bonded onto the building structure.
- Non-toxic
FOAMGLAS® consists of pure glass, it is nontoxic, non-hazardous, it does not contaminate the environment; and is easily cut using hand tools.
- Fire and fumes
FOAMGLAS® is non-toxic, does not combust, support fire, produce fumes, or present a fire risk in the building structure.
