Cellular glass roof insulation.

As a natural outgrowth from cold storage applications cellular glass insulation began to be used in commercial roofing. It provides a unique combination of properties that offer an alternative to other types of building insulation. Built on the shoreline of lake michigan the insulation stood the test of chicago s infamous winter climate for more than a half century. A good example of this resilience is the jardine water treatment plant in chicago.

These components are mixed placed in a mold and then heated to a temperature of approximately 950 o f. Decomposition of the cellulating agent will cause the mixture to expand and fill the mold. It s non combustible provides superior compressive strength moisture resistance dimensional stability and offers long lasting thermal performance. In fact cellular glass was the first insulation to be manufactured into a tapered roof insulation which enabled conversions of flat roofs to low slope roofs.

Foamglas insulation is non combustible non absorbent impermeable and has high compressive strength.
