The GLAPOR RDS combination perimeter system combines insulating formwork elements with load-bearing cellular glass gravel – for faster and more sustainable floor slabs. Moisture-resistant, pressure-resistant and rodent-resistant – a durable solution that saves time and money and simply works.

✔ Permanent thermal insulation
✔ Efficient construction method due to elimination of formwork
✔ Reduced material requirement due to integrated frost protection
✔ Time saving due to simultaneous face insulation

Please note: The load transfer of the building takes place via the foundation slab in the GLAPOR cellular glass gravel. The GLAPOR RDS formwork elements must not be used for this – they are to be regarded as normal formwork and base insulation.

Insulated concrete floor slab in record time

The GLAPOR RDS combi-perimeter system completely replaces traditional shuttering and striking – thermal insulation and formwork are created in a single work step. The prefabricated RDS formwork elements are handy, easy to install and the ideal combination for cellular glass gravel systems.

Simple installation in a mortar or adhesive bed
800 mm long RDS elements – light, precise, quick to install
Face insulation and formwork at the same time: saves time and money
Cellular glass gravel is installed & compacted on a GLAPOR geotextile (compaction ratio 1.3:1)
Simple compaction with classic vibratory plates

Important for the design: The load transfer takes place exclusively via the cellular glass gravel. RDS elements act as formwork elements.
