Flat Roofs on Concrete, Timber and Metal Structures
The roof is a very important element of the building envelope. Flat roofs perform many tasks, such as car parking, walkways, playgrounds, terraces and platforms for M& E equipment. The flat roof must provide reliable thermal and weatherproof protection for the entire service life of the building.
Technical features and benefits:
- Compressive loads
FOAMGLAS® supports high compressive loads without deflection or movement. It is the ideal insulation material for load bearing areas, such as, foundations, floors, walkways, terraces, podium roofs, balconies, vehicle parking and for supporting M & E equipment
Fire and fumes
FOAMGLAS® consists of pure glass, it’s nontoxic, does not combust, support fire, pro - duce fumes, or present a fire risk within the building structure.
- Water and vapour control
FOAMGLAS® consists of pure glass, it has a truly hermetically sealed, closed glass cell structure. It is gas and vapour tight. The close cell structure prevents water penetration or tracking by capillary action. FOAMGLAS® and its adhesive are vapour tight, providing both an insulation system and high performance vapour barrier in one material.
- Dimensional stability
FOAMGLAS® has a low coefficient of thermal movement, in the same range as concrete and steel, and therefore is simply bonded onto the building structure with adhesive, therefore no thermal bridging, and no corrosion of mechanical fixings.
