Bambados

Bambados in Bamberg is Europe’s first indoor swimming pool to be built to the passive house standard. At the heart of its success: a well thought-out overall concept and consistently sustainable building materials. Included: GLAPOR cellular glass – as insulation under the floor slab and as gravel for backfilling. Both variants actively contribute to energy efficiency and durability.

Compression-free cellular glass boards were used for 550 m² of floor area, supplemented by full-surface perimeter insulation against the ground. The cellular glass gravel (350 m³), which was supplied loose, was convincing when used as a pressure-resistant lightweight and filling material – ideal for working areas and supporting structures. Its strengths: 37 t/m² load-bearing capacity, non-combustibility and excellent thermal insulation.
