Bellis supplies Foamglas® Perinsul® S, exhibiting higher density and superior compressive strength than other Foamglas® products. At break point, the compressive strength of the thermal insulation board stands at 2.9N/mm2. On the other hand, its load-bearing capacity is 1 N/mm2, without compression or deformation, when a safety factor is used. The dimensional stability of Perinsul® S is sufficient for supporting the load of masonry walls, without any additional support elements.

Perinsul® S delivers uniform thermal performance to combat the adverse effects of moisture in all its forms. At 10°C, the thermal insulation board has a thermal conductivity of 0.055 W/mK. In a single leaf wall, an 110mm-wide block of Perinsul® S provides a U-value of approximately 0.39 W/m2K, exceeding the requirements specified in Part L & J of UK Building Regulations.

In the standard length of 450mm, Perinsul® S is available in widths and thicknesses ranging from 100 to 140mm and 65 to 100mm, respectively. The thermal insulation board can be easily installed at the base of structure walls, including inner walls, outer walls, parapets, access points, and support areas for roof trusses. Coated in bitumen on all faces, Perinsul® S is compatible with both block or brick substrates.

As with the entire Foamglas® range, Perinsul® S is 100% inorganic for immunity to deterioration, while preserving the long-term structural integrity of building structures. Production utilises 66% post-consumer waste glass to minimise energy consumption, while administering zero quantities of hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) and pentane.

All Foamglas® products are fully compliant with Building Regulations, and have the Agrément Certification.
