Foamglas® Perinsul® is an innovative product developed by Pittsburgh corning to eliminate thermal bridges at joints within wall constructions. Foamglas® Perinsul blocks, manufactured from Foamglas®, are designed to form an effective insulated joint between vertical wall insulation and horizontal floor or roof insulation. Possessing all the thermal properties for which Foamglas® is well proven, together with the exceptionally high compressive strength of Foamglas®, cold bridging is eliminated and structural integrity maintained.

Foamglas® cellular glass insulation is guaranteed to maintain all its physical values for the lifetime of the building.  It does not deteriorate with age and its thermal properties remain constant. Foamglas® is totally non-combustible and cannot contribute to a fire nor give off toxic fumes or smoke, it is also totally free from HCFC, HFA and pentane.

Foamglas® Perinsul® has a compressive strength at break point 2.5N/mm² and, when a safety factor is used, it typically has a load bearing capacity of 1 N/mm² without compression or deformation.  It can be installed at the base of structural walls in the following situations:

• Inner walls (block or brick)
• Outer walls (block or brick)
• Parapets
• Access Points
• Support areas for roof trusses.
