FOAMGLAS® Insulation Sustainability Check: 46 Years-Highest Performance FOAMGLAS® Insulation System and Humidity Level The following procedures to adhere FOAMGLAS® insulation to a concrete deck are recommended based on the interior building relative humidity. Performance Level Interior Building Relative Humidity ≥ 60% (HHL: High Humidity Level) · When applying FOAMGLAS® slabs or Ready Block to a concrete deck, the insulation should be fully adhered with hot asphalt or PC ® 500 adhesive and the insulation joints sealed with like material. Interior Building Relative Humidity ranging from 45% to 60% (MHL: Medium Humidity Level) High Humidity Level · When applying FOAMGLAS® Ready Block or Ready Board to a concrete deck, the insulation can be adhered in ribbons with an approved polyurethane adhesive. The joints will be partially sealed by the existing hot asphalt when the membrane is torched to the insulation. In addition, depending on roof traffic and usage, different roof systems solutions can be recommended. For example, roof gardens and terraces require the fully adhered roof system. Medium Humidity Level · When applying FOAMGLAS® Ready Block or Ready Board to a concrete deck, the insulation can be adhered in ribbons with approved polyure thane adhesive and the insulation joints sealed. Interior Building Relative Humidity ≤ 45% (LHL: Low Humidity Level) 0% Main Roof Assemblies: Examples of Total Costs Cold Application (HHL) FOAMGLAS® Ready Block FOAMGLAS® Slab FOAMGLAS® Ready Board In relation to the appropriate insulation adherence, the installation costs will vary. Total costs for the entire roof system will vary up to 20% due to specific labor costs, application techniques and accessory products required. FOAMGLAS ® insulation contributes to LEED ® credits.
