Foam glass gravel is a lightweight, insulating aggregate that replaces foam board insulation, high-density foam blocks, and other lightweight fill materials in construction and industrial applications.
Glavel manufactures foam glass gravel in Essex, Vermont with a deep commitment to decarbonization, using an electrified kiln and renewable energy to power manufacturing operations.
Foam glass gravel enables builders, architects, and engineers to meet sustainability goals with no cost premium by providing an environmentally-safe alternative to carbon-intensive materials traditionally used for subslab insulation and fill.
Material transparency is a responsibility. We are reshaping how the built environment addresses insulation, structural fill, circularity, and decarbonization, while holding ourselves to high standards of disclosure.
That’s why we have both a Declare Label and a third-party verified Environmental Product Declaration to verify what goes into our material and how it sets the bar for low embodied carbon materials.
We are a team in Vermont transforming the way we think about decarbonization, construction, manufacturing, and circularity. We believe that challenges faced today are opportunities to do things better tomorrow. Our strength comes from diverse voices collaborating to push boundaries and deliver solutions that make a lasting social and environmental impact.
