Womersleys supply foamed glass that is an environmentally friendly insulating product and low capillarity lightweight fill, which is manufactured from cleaned recycled glass. It is ideal as an insulating lightweight aggregate material for infrastructure projects as well as providing insulation in a wide range of buildings, foundations, limecrete floors and roofs (green roofs, rooftop parking, rooftop terraces etc).
Foamed glass is a lightweight aggregate made from purified recycled glass. Foam glass has been used in Europe and Scandinavia for a long time and its positive benefits are widely known; it is environmentally friendly, non-flammable, lightweight and easy to work with.
Foam glass as a bulk filler material is one of the lightest on the market. Benefits of this low density include the ease of compaction of the material and transport efficiency.
Foam glass’s cell structure gives the product uniquely low thermal conductivity (dry about 0.1 W / mK), making it an excellent insulator.
Foam glass easy compaction and angle of friction ensure a stable substructure on site.
Foam glass is non-combustible and has low capillarity, meaning it can be effective as a moisture barrier.
Foam glass is made up of 99% purified recycled glass. Thanks to the nature of the manufacturing process of foam glass, there is no organic matter contained in the finished products.
Foam glass’s raw material is recycled glass, which is cleaned and milled before being heated in the furnace. Due to the manufacturing technique, it does not contain organic substances and is non-flammable. It is odourless, inert and does not leach harmful substances in conventional applications. Using recycled glass as a raw material saves virgin natural resources and reduces the carbon footprint. Foamit is reusable and can be upcycled. The use of Foamit for fill material and / or frost insulation of road, street and field structures will not cause significant groundwater pollution.
