Ilulissat Icefjord Centre
Don't miss the chance to witness its stunning beauty and learn about the impact of climate change.
Ilulissat is located on the West Coast of Greenland, 250 km north of the polar circle. The site is known for its awe-inspiring ice fjord and actively calving glaciers, showcasing the impact of climate change. This unique and important destination has earned a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
The Icefjord Centre showcases FOAMGLAS® cellular glass' versatility in construction. It features a combination of steel, wood, and glass, with steel frames providing the structural support and extensive use of wood for floors, roof, terraces, and interiors, giving it a warm and natural appearance. Despite its Arctic location, the building is well-insulated and heated using CO2-neutral green energy from the nearby Ilulissat water power plant, ensuring maximum energy efficiency.
FOAMGLAS® insulation material is an excellent choice for projects requiring superior insulation and durability in harsh weather conditions. Its waterproof and vapor-proof properties make it ideal for wet climates, preventing moisture-related damage and mold growth. Additionally, FOAMGLAS® insulation is non-combustible, providing enhanced fire safety and can withstand high temperatures without releasing toxic fumes. Its compressive strength allows it to bear heavy loads without compromising insulation performance.
