Expanded glass lightweight beads are formed of lightweight beads to banish cold, damp, and noise. This building material is light as a feather, moisture-resistant, dimensionally stable, and resistant to aging. It is ideal as a loose or bound thermally insulating fill. As a lightweight insulating and leveling fill, this building material meets the highest quality requirements and can be used in a wide variety of applications – be it for joist ceilings, cavities, gaps, or floors.
Expanded Glass is an environmentally friendly, mineral alternative to conventional cement-bound EPS fill under the screed.
The bound expanded glass lightweight beads can be used wherever light, thermally insulating floor leveling is required. The mineral-bound, pressure-resistant fill is used to level floors and as a leveling fill over cables and pipelines. The healthy-living material guarantees first-class insulation with maximum fire safety and fast construction progress. Due to the low moisture content, it can be walked on after just one day without any problems. In combination with GEOMATERIALS Foam Glass, which is used for rough leveling, this is a simple dry, moisture-resistant, non-combustible solution for re-flooring.
Advantages:
High thermal insulation
Air is a great insulator, the vast number of closed cavities, therefore, provide great thermal insulation – even when bound in small structural thicknesses.
Easy to work with
Simply pour and distribute. No compression is required.
Resilient and dimensionally stable
No shrinkage, swelling, or long-term settlement: Dimensionally stable up to 750°C.
Lightweight and pressure-resistant
Owing to its cell geometry, it is highly pressure-resistant and light as a feather.
Sound-absorbing
Ideal as a leveling fill in intermediate ceilings. Increases the acoustic effectiveness of building materials.
Moisture-resistant
Dries out quickly and does not provide a breeding ground for mold.
Resistant
To bacteria, frost, aging, rotting, moisture, acid, insects, and rodents.
Harmless
Being made from recycled glass, it is non-toxic, fiber-free, solvent-free, odorless,
anti-allergenic and radiologically safe.
Non-combustible class A1, and does not produce harmful gases in a fire.
It can be walked on shortly after installation
Sustainable
Made from recycled material, so no raw materials are consumed
