FOAMGLAS® Tapered T4+ (Slab) is a non-combustible and high-quality thermal insulation cut-to-falls in factory to suit a specific tapered scheme (roof, floor, podium) and ensure the correct drainage.
Application
- Warm roofing systems.
- Flat roofs; concrete, metal deck and special roofs.
- Accessible roofs, including green roofs, terraces, balconies.
- Heavy load roofs including vehicle access and plant.
- Internal floor insulation.
- Podium insulation.
Description
FOAMGLAS® Tapered consists of FOAMGLAS® Slabs T4+ which are tapered across their width (or sometimes their length). A central arrow stamped across the top surface indicates the direction of fall.
Features & Benefits:
- Non-Combustible Euroclass A1 to EN 13501-1:2007.
- Waterproof & 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.
