LABC approved systems now available from Mike Wye & Associates – BuildIt 2016 award winners – Best Builders Merchant for Self Builders

GEOCELL Foam Glass insulation aggregate is a lightweight hardcore made from 100% recycled glass and supplied by Mike Wye & Associates.

GEOCELL Foam Glass insulation aggregate (or gravel) by GEOCELL® is extremely versatile because of its unique characteristics of being light weight, load bearing, draining and insulating.

Foamed glass aggregate is a sustainable replacement building material in:

  • GlassCrete and Limecrete floor systems
  • Floor slabs
  • Green roofs and landscaping (lightweight fill material)
  • Slope stabilization
  • Vaults
  • Sports turf
  • Backfilling of pools

✔︎ EXCELLENT INSULATION VALUES:  The large number of enclosed cells in each foam glass pellet ensures excellent insulation characteristics with a thermal conductivity value of 0.08 w/mK.

✔︎ INCREDIBLY STRONG: Due to its glass cell structure, GEOCELL® provides excellent compressive strength.

✔︎ NON-CAPILLARY, NON COMBUSTIBLE: Cellular glass is comprised of closed cells that do not absorb water. Classified as an A1 building material.

✔︎ PERMANENTLY STABLE: GEOCELL® provides stability, durability and resistance against insects and rodents.

✔︎ SUSTAINABLE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: Made from 100% recycled glass, inert and essentially pH-neutral.

✔︎ CE CERTIFICATION CE mark: GEOCELL® declaration that the product meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives.

✔︎ SAVING TIME AND MONEY: GEOCELL® is quicker to install than conventional methods cutting construction time and cost.

The selection of appropriate insulation materials is crucial in construction. GEOCELL® foam glass combines a drainage layer, insulation and structural load bearing in a single product. Moreover, GEOCELL® is diffusible, an important property for an insulating material when humidity is an issue. It is suitable for thermal insulation under the foundation slab of houses, production halls, schools, swimming pools etc.
