WHY GLASS FOAM GRANULATE?
simply put:
It saves you money and time and provides you with
numerous application options.
§ Savings due to less excavated material because of low structural height
§ Savings because blinding and drainage layers as well as frost barrier can be omitted
§ Savings because cutting slab products is no longer necessary
§ Savings of up to 15% per square metre insulated floor slab when compared to traditional floor design
§ Savings due to lower construction time – the floor slab can be concreted immediately after compacting of the granulate
§ Savings due to long-term reduction of heating costs
THE BENEFITS ARE APPARENT –
AND MAY SOON APPEAR IN YOUR FOUNDATION, TOO.

*Further savings potential possible by omitting the frost barrier and using activated floor slab! |
Without TECHNOpor glass foam granulate:
→ Construction of a frost-free foundation.
→ Additional costs for excavation and construction of the frost barrier, thermally insulated.
→Thus danger of thermal bridges.
With TECHNOpor glass foam granulate:
→ High load-bearing capacity and thermal bridge-free construction.
→ Activated floor slab and omission of floor construction possible.
