Foam glass is a lightweight, porous glass material with excellent insulation and fire resistance properties. It’s manufactured by heating crushed glass with a foaming agent, resulting in a rigid structure full of tiny, sealed air bubbles.
Used in construction and industrial insulation, foam glass provides thermal and acoustic insulation, making it ideal for roofs, foundations, pipelines, and even cryogenic applications. It’s highly resistant to moisture, chemicals, pests, and fire, offering durability in harsh environments.
Foam glass is also environmentally friendly, often made from recycled glass. It’s completely inorganic, does not degrade over time, and can be reused or recycled, supporting green building initiatives.
Its popularity is increasing in both commercial and residential sectors where long-term energy savings, fire safety, and sustainability are priorities. With a growing focus on energy-efficient construction, foam glass is gaining attention as a smart insulation solution.
