FOAMGLAS® Insulation Solutions by Application

Roofing/Architectural

Moisture is responsible for significant building damage. And, up to 70% of roof damage is the result of moisture.

Roofing insulation systems are exposed to a variety of climates and weather conditions. Moisture absorption by the insulation leads to leaking roofs and corrosion. Even further, the building's interior climate conditions can contribute to insulation failure. In installations such as pulp and paper mills or water treatment plants, interior humidity conditions destroy an ordinary insulation system.

Roofing installations also require insulation systems with high compressive strength — the roofing system must often support heating and cooling systems as well as frequent maintenance traffic.

FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation is 100% glass and provides unmatched moisture impermeability. Among FOAMGLAS® Insulation's other properties are superior dimensional stability and high compressive strength. By providing a consistently stable foundation against a variety of environmental and facility-specific stresses, FOAMGLAS® Insulation is the choice for roofing applications.
