Whether you’re building, renovating, landscaping, or improving drainage around your property, Foamit foam glass offers a lightweight and practical solution that is easy to transport, handle, and install.

One Material – Many Applications

Foamit foam glass can be used in a wide range of projects around the home and garden, including drainage systems, foundations, backfilling, pathways, patios, utility trenches, and landscaping.

Because the material combines insulation, drainage, and lightweight fill in one product, it can often replace several traditional materials and simplify construction work.

Foamit foam glass is suitable for both new projects and renovations around the home.

Typical applications include:

• Foundation insulation
• Drainage improvements
• Utility and pipe trenches
• Garden structures and retaining walls
• Pathways and patios

• Green roofs and outdoor landscaping

Its combination of low weight, drainage capacity, and insulation properties makes it a versatile material for many different outdoor projects.

Please see the illustration below for inspiration.

Easy to Transport and Install

One of the main advantages of Foamit foam glass is its low weight.

The material is easy to move, spread, and level, making installation faster and less physically demanding – weighing only about 1/10 compared to traditional aggregates. It can be delivered in convenient bags for smaller projects or blown directly into place for larger applications.

Blowing the material into position reduces manual handling and helps minimise disruption to existing gardens, lawns, driveways, and outdoor spaces.

Practical, Durable and Eco-Friendly

Made from recycled glass, Foamit foam glass is a durable and long-lasting material that retains its performance over time.

By combining several functions in one lightweight product, it can help simplify projects, reduce material use, and make installation easier for both professionals and homeowners.

Foamit foam glass is increasingly specified in projects focused on sustainable design and low-impact construction. Its combination of recycled content, durability, and versatility makes it suitable for everything from contemporary eco-friendly architecture to the renovation of historic and heritage buildings, where preserving the character of original structures is an important consideration.
