Harsh conditions prevail on Germany’s only high seas island – ideal for research, challenging for buildings. The Alfred Wegener Institute on Helgoland, known for expeditions to the North Pole, therefore needed a flat roof that was absolutely reliable. GLAPOR cellular glass boards were chosen for the flat roof insulation – for maximum safety in wind, weather and storms.

Strong wind suction forces, extreme humidity and salty air demand maximum performance from any material. GLAPOR cellular glass masters this with aplomb: non-combustible, pressure-resistant, permanently dimensionally stable and completely leak-proof. The closed cell structure provides reliable protection against water and ageing – even under continuous load.

The flat roof system also impresses with its high wind suction resistance – a must on Heligoland. Even hurricane-force gusts cannot harm the construction. This means that the roof remains permanently functional and low-maintenance – a real plus for the research-intensive institute.

Whether the North Pole or the North Sea – GLAPOR cellular glass supplies insulation technology that scientists rely on. Even under the stormiest conditions.
