Longevity is the essence of sustainability
The longer the lifetime of products or applications, the less energy is consumed and less emissions are generated in the production and transportation of new products and in recycling the old. That is why longevity is the essence of sustainability.
STANDING THE TEST OF TIME – IN ADDITION TO FIW TESTS
FOAMGLAS® products fully retain their strength and other properties over time, as proven by tests performed by the FIW Research Institute for Thermal Insulation. After nearly half a century in situ, FOAMGLAS® roof insulation demonstrated the same performance properties as the day it was originally installed.
GIVING ROOFS A HIGHER PURPOSE WITH FOAMGLAS® COMPACT ROOF

They also provide natural cooling in cities. FOAMGLAS® Compact Roof offers a safe, long-term solution for putting existing and new-build roofs to greater use.
