Reliable Roof Thermal Insulation with FOAMGLAS® from Bellis Australia

A reliable roof thermal insulation system can withstand prolonged exposure to natural elements, while promoting comfort with its heat reduction and energy saving capacity. FOAMGLAS® Compact Roof proves to be the premium choice, delivering a dependable and efficient solution for roof thermal insulation in industrial, commercial and residential applications.

Bellis Australia teams up with Pittsburgh Corning in bringing FOAMGLAS® Compact Roof thermal insulation system to Australia.

Why Use FOAMGLAS® Compact Roof Thermal Insulation System?

All layers involved in warm roof construction, which includes deck, vapour barrier and waterproofing membrane, are all adhered to one another through a mechanical fastener. In the case of water infiltration, the water penetrates these layers and accumulates in the bottom layer, resulting in water leakage inside the structure.

FOAMGLAS Insulation

The closed cellular structure of FOAMGLAS® Compact Roof thermal insulation system is made from 60% recycled molten glass, carbon and completely sealed glass cells, which contributes to its mass and insulating properties. Its high R-value provides constant insulating capacity and energy efficiency, while promoting a safe and comfortable indoor temperature.

The composition of FOAMGLAS® Compact Roof thermal insulation system creates a watertight seal, enhancing the structural integrity by preventing water or aggressive chemical absorption that can lead to premature degradation of the insulating material. Its resilience against water infiltration also intercepts the growth and proliferation of mould, mildew, and bacteria.

Dimensional stability and high compressive strengths contribute to the durability and performance of waterproofing membranes. FOAMGLAS® Compact Roof thermal insulation is flexible and applicable to almost any type of surface substrate. On account of its small coefficient of linear expansion, it can be bonded to the roof deck with the waterproofing membrane on top, without creating a thermal bridge in roof applications. Every layer of FOAMGLAS® Compact Roof is bonded tightly with hot bitumen to deliver an exceptional resistance to wind speeds of up to 118 km/h, or 12 on the Beaufort scale.

FOAMGLAS® Compact Roof gives an effective barrier against fire between the roof material and roof structure in the adjacent building. The roof thermal insulation material follows EN 13501: A1 (European Standard, Fire Classification of Construction Products and Building Elements) and ASTM E 84 (Standard Testing for Surface Burning).

With an extensive range of refractory products and turnkey services, Bellis Australia delivers the right insulation solution that spans across a wide variety of industries, such as the LNG, petrochemical, commercial and even residential applications.
