Foamit foam glass aggregate is a highly versatile, ultra-lightweight material and effective thermal insulator designed specifically for building construction. Produced entirely from 100% recycled glass, it offers the lowest specific gravity in its class, significantly reducing structural stress while maintaining a low carbon footprint for your construction projects.
Key benefits for building construction
Foamit delivers exceptional on-site efficiency and superior structural performance. Thanks to the uniquely fractured and frictional surface of the foam glass granules, the aggregate stacks securely in place and handles much better than traditional alternatives like expanded clay. This stability allows the uncompacted material to easily support body weight, enabling safer, faster handling at the worksite and ultimately reducing labor costs. Once compacted, Foamit provides an exceptionally strong load-bearing capacity.
Beyond its mechanical strength and lightweight nature, Foamit is engineered for safety and reliability in demanding building environments. It provides excellent thermal insulation and water conductivity for optimal moisture management. Furthermore, building-grade Foamit is stored in asphalted, weather-protected factory areas to guarantee that no unwanted water or debris enters the product before delivery. The aggregate itself is completely free of organic matter and sulphur, ensuring a pure, high-quality fill material for any structure.
