Processing/practical tips

Cellular glass granulate, e.g. for perimeter insulation: the surface must be prepared in accordance with current regulations. The fill material is tipped in place, distributed and compressed so as to minimize cavities.

Cellular glass panels: with these matched system components to the producer’s specifications are used. The panels are sawn.

Solvent-free cold adhesive is applied as an undercoat (on dry or moist substrate). In the case of roof or floor insulation with above-average moisture incidence, hot bitumen is used for bonding. Finally the panels are secured with anchors or dowels. The panels have to lie flat; bumps are ground down and kept dust-free. Alignment is with offset butt joints; the joints are filled with adhesive.
