Benefits of GRANUGLASS

  • GRANUGLASS is simply poured from a convenient package into the cavity between the walls to provide reliable insulation.
  • GRANUGLASS fills even uneven and curved voids perfectly.
  • GRANUGLASS is healthy, fibre-free and odour-neutral, so there is no need for expensive, sealing insulation.
  • GRANUGLASS is lightweight, making it particularly suitable for insulating old building structures.
  • GRANUGLASS is completely insensitive to moisture.
  • GRANUGLASS is gas-permeable.

The use of GRANUGLASS results in:

  • increasing the performance of plasters and extending the ‘open time’,
  • as cavity filler in noise barriers,
    the manufacture of insulating fittings (ceramic),
  • as thermal insulation for chimney flues,
  • thermal insulation of technical installations (cryogenic chambers, piping, etc.).

GRANUGLASS applications

  • production of thermal mortars for masonry and plastering,
    production of lightweight concretes, so-called perlite concretes (thermal underlays, thermal pouring),
  • insulation of ceilings and roof constructions (perlite backfill),
    insulation of buildings using the ‘blow-in’ method - blowing perlite into cavities in walls,
  • acoustic insulation of floors, walls and ceilings,
  • filling of cavities in ribbed hollow blocks, inter-chamber spaces (dry backfill),
  • reduction of gypsum plaster mass,
    production of adhesives for polystyrene foam and adhesives for tiles - the addition of perlite significantly improves their fluidity and adhesion, increases their efficiency and facilitates water evaporation,
  • production of thin-layer decorative plasters (acrylic, silicate, silicone)
