‘Foamglas’ – Cellular Glass Insulation

FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation is a lightweight, rigid, and durable material composed of completely sealed glass cells. It’s non-combustible, provides superior compressive strength, moisture resistance, dimensional stability, and offers long lasting thermal performance. A wide range of shapes and sizes are available for building, equipment and industrial specifications.

Owens Corning® FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation portfolio is specifically designed for commercial building and roofing applications. It provides performance that is unachievable with any other building insulation. Owens Corning® FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation is a lightweight, rigid, and durable material composed of completely sealed glass cells. It’s non-combustible, provides superior compressive strength, moisture resistance, dimensional stability, and offers long lasting thermal performance.

Dimensionally Stable

  • Better matches substrate expansion and contraction than other insulations
  • Will not compress or deform leading to tears or punctures
  • Remains flat for the life of the roof

Water Tight

  • 100% closed-cell material
  • Will not absorb water
  • No warping or swelling
  • Membrane leaks remain local and are easy to repair

Vapor Impermeable

  • Prevents the passage of water vapor and other gases
  • Condensation control with no additional vapor barrier
  • Insulation will not accumulate moisture over time

Non-Combustible

  • Made from glass
  • Zero flame spread and smoke developed

High Compressive Strength

  • Designed to withstand loads which crush most other insulating materials
  • Can eliminate thermal bridges where other conductive load-bearing material was once required
  • Allows for thinner slabs in parking and plaza decks and green roofs

Rot and Insect Resistant

  • Inorganic
  • Not a source of food for rodents, insects, or micro-organisms
