Investment in a promising future Escalating energy costs and acute environmental damage: these are today’s challenges. Reducing the energy consumption of buildings by thermal insulation becomes a vital issue which is important for new buildings. For buildings where it is impossible to apply external insulation on the enclosing walls, the use of FOAMGLAS® interior insulation can be the only appropriate choice. These are for example buildings where façades have to be preserved and cannot be retrofitted on the outside. FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation is an unrivalled solution, because its “inherent...

performance characteristics of cellular glass insulation systems ensure optimal protection of the building. Due to the cell geometry with a “build-in” vapourbarrier, moisture cannot enter the material. Damage caused by moisture or mould can be excluded with professional design and workmanship. In addition interior insulation is saving money, because expensive reface and scaffolding works are not needed. Another advantage: in buildings with intermittent heating (rooms which are not permanently used), the heating time is significantly reduced. 1 Ultimate insulation – essential physical qualities:...

For a healthier environment – inside and outside. On topic of indoor air quality interior insulation can help to solve problems relating to moisture and mould. Also, FOAMGLAS® insulation is an environment friendly material and does not emit volatile organic compounds to the air. Cellular glass an environmentally sound construction material. It is made from natural raw materials (including 66 % recycled glass) and contributes in many ways to a healthy and a clean environment. For more than 50 years architects, engineers, contractors and owners have chosen FOAMGLAS® interior insulation systems...

Interior insulation, floor Museum Tinguely, Basel Architect Mario Botta, Lugano Construction 1995 FOAMGLAS® applications Floor insulation on the inside, about 1,800 m2, FLOOR BOARD T4+, 120 mm thick, butt-jointed Floor finish Parquet flooring in European larch / oak The Museum on the Rhine by architect Mario Botta creates a unique atmosphere for Tinguely’s art objects. The immense central exhibition hall showcases about 20 machinery sculptures. Due to its cell structure FOAMGLAS® maintains high-compressive strength even under a heavy permanent load. The insulation is perfect for use on load bearing...
