Load-bearing thermal insulation made of cellular glass boards
With their exceptionally high compressive strength, cellular glass boards form a secure, load-bearing and thermally insulated base under any building
Load-bearing and waterproof thermal insulation made of cellular glass boards
- Absolutely waterproof and compression-free
- Extremely pressure-resistant – 900 to 1600 kPa nominal pressure resistance
- statically assignable to the concrete slab
- non-flammable (A1)
- Fully mineral & rodent resistant
The result: a permanently secure, insulated foundation – without plastic, without subsidence, without water damage.
Examples of load-bearing thermal insulation with cellular glass:
RDS: Combined perimeter system
The best of two cellular glass worlds: cellular glass boards as edge insulation formwork. Cellular glass gravel as load-bearing thermal insulation. In combination, the healthy basis for every house.
UMB1: Urban mining base plate
The world’s first 100% circular floor slab without concrete made of GLAPOR cellular glass boards. Quickly laid. Insulates reliably, supports up to 68 t/m² and saves up to 95 % CO₂.

Advantages of cellular glass compared to other perimeter insulations
| Criterion | GLAPOR cellular glass boards | XPS |
|---|---|---|
| Raw material | ✓ 100 % recycled glass | Petroleum based |
| Water absorption | ✓ None (vapor-tight) | Possible through diffusion |
| Compressive strength | ✓ Up to 1,600 kPa - also suitable for parking decks | Max. 700 kPa |
| Fire protection class | ✓ A1 (non-combustible) | B1-B2 (flammable) |
| Emissions / leaching | ✓ None - emission-free | Waste disperses during processing |
| Waste disposal | ✓ Reusable, urban mining ready | Construction waste or hazardous waste |
| Lifespan | ✓ Lifelong - across generations | Characteristics fluctuate with moistening |
