This is a groundbreaking step towards sustainable building materials that are both eco-friendly and versatile. This state-of-the-art facility is set to transform the construction industry by offering a superior, sustainable alternative to traditional aggregates, all while helping to reduce our carbon footprint and promote a circular economy. Widely used across the world for many decades with a proven history of success, this is a significant and exciting step forward for Britain’s construction sector.
What is Foamed Glass Aggregate?
Foamed glass aggregate is made from recycled container glass, offering a sustainable solution for the construction sector. By recycling waste glass, we can produce an extremely lightweight, clean, durable and thermally superior aggregate in a range of sizes for use in foundations, drainage systems, green roofs and as an insulating material for buildings. Glass cullet is cleaned, finely-milled and expanded to form a clean, low-weight and highly insulating material perfect for a wide range of construction applications.
Key Benefits of Foamed Glass Aggregate:
Sustainable: Made from 100% recycled glass, contributing to a circular economy.
Energy Efficient: Highly insulating, helps reduce heating and cooling costs.
Durability: Fire-resistant and resilient against weathering, chemicals and pests.
Lightweight: Significantly lighter than traditional aggregates, reduces transportation costs and the environmental impact of heavy materials.
Non-Toxic: Safe to handle, free of harmful substances, and doesn’t leach into the environment.
Applications for Foamed Glass Aggregate:
Infrastructure: Very low weight, easily compactible, stable, minimal ground pressure and high unconfined angle of repose up to 54o; unmatched by any other aggregate.
Building Foundations: Lightweight, highly insulating, easy to install and provides a capillary break against moisture rising from the ground.
Drainage Systems: Ideal for sustainable drainage systems, offering excellent permeability through the foamed glass aggregate layer.
Landfill Remediation: A lightweight, eco-friendly and versatile fill material.
Roofs:Contributes to energy savings in both residential and commercial properties.
Horticultural: A perfect solution for lightweight aggregate in gardens and park.
Building Products: An angular, clean, stable and consistent lightweight aggregate.
Odour Barrier: Can be floated on liquid tanks to provide an easy and effective barrier.
