GLAPOR Recycled Foamed Glass
GLAPOR Recycled Foamed Glass gravel is a superior loose-fill insulating aggregate ideal for use in our LABC accredited limecrete flooring system. Our flooring system does not include a moisture impermeable barrier (Damp Proof Membrane). The control of ingress of moisture is achieved by using a layer of recycled foamed glass gravel beneath the slab material. Its non-capillary active closed cell structure provides the moisture protection for your floor while remaining vapour open. This material also has an excellent thermal resistance capability (0.083W/mK). We calculate the thickness of this layer to provide a specified U Value, taking into account the length/thickness of perimeter walls, overall floor area etc.
