FOAMGLAS® PERINSUL HL is a very high density thermal insulation used to eliminate thermal bridging at structural junctions.
Application
- Thermal breaks.
- Floor-wall base element.
- Perimeter insulation.
- Beneath timber or metal frame sole plates.
- Parapet upstands.
- Structural junctions.
Description
A very high density thermal insulation used to eliminate thermal bridging at structural junctions.
Features and benefits:
- Euroclass E.
- Waterproof and moisture resistant due to its hermetically closed glass cell structure.
- High compressive strength and dimensionally stable.
- Highly resistant to all forms of infestation and vermin.
- Resistant to organic solvents and acids.
- Insulation manufactured primarily from recycled glass (≥60%).
- Long-term efficiency and thermal performance over time.
Compressive strength:
FOAMGLAS® insulation has a high compressive strength, capable to take high loads without deformation or deflection due to its rigid cell structure. FOAMGLAS® passes EN 826 Annex A that defines the uniform load bearing capabilities of insulations which do not compress before the load capability is recorded.
FOAMGLAS® is dimensionally stable, neither shrinks nor swells and does not slump over time. It has a low co-efficient of expansion within the same range to steel, wood and concrete.
