Foamed Glass Aggregate for High Performance Construction

Lightweight insulating aggregate that delivers structural performance, insulation, and drainage in a single low carbon material.

Glavel Foamed Glass Aggregate

A Low Carbon Aggregate Engineered for the Construction Industry

Foamed glass aggregate replaces foam-based insulation, crushed stone, and lightweight fill in a variety of applications, providing drainage, insulation, and compressive strength in one material. Foamed glass aggregate is easy to install and non-toxic, providing durability and stability for long term performance.

Case Studies

Commercial Construction
OnLogic
OnLogic’s 150,000 sq ft headquarters achieved 87% embodied carbon reduction by replacing traditional foam insulation with foamed glass aggregate in their subslab assembly.
Infrastructure Construction
Exit 17 Bridge Replacement
Vermont’s Exit 17 Bridge replacement used 12,500 cubic yards of foamed glass aggregate to build bridge approaches over deep clay soils, eliminating the need for costly excavation while preventing long-term settlement in the I-89 corridor.
