Cellular Glass Insulation Used in Building and Roof Applications
FOAMGLAS
A new ASTM standard for cellular glass insulation in commercial building applications offers specifiers a higher standard of material performance when it comes to thermal resistance, dimensional stability, combustibility and more. Introduced November 1, 2020, ASTM C1902 supports architects and designers seeking to specify a higher level of performance in commercial rooftops, enclosure wall assemblies and below grade applications.
Expressing Owens Corning’s support for ASTM C1902, Brian Caulkins, Global Platform Director, Owens Corning® FOAMGLAS® said, “We are excited to see this standard. It will help architects and specifiers clearly understand the broad range of performance properties cellular glass insulation offers throughout the enclosure. This new standard will help specifiers achieve their performance goals when it comes to moisture resistance, compressive strength, dimensional stability and sustainability.”
