Owens Corning Launches New Solution for Managing Thermal Bridging
As the AEC community looks to achieve ever more energy efficient buildings, Owens Corning is introducing a solution to improve thermal performance, increase energy efficiency and minimize performance loss in the event of moisture exposure.
Owens Corning is introducing FOAMGLAS® Perinsul® SIB as a thermal bridging solution for high-performance buildings. Material science helps explain its thermal performance. FOAMGLAS® Perinsul® SIB is a block made of cellular glass, enabling it to help eliminate thermal bridging beneath exterior masonry veneer walls. This thermal bridge near the foundation has historically been difficult to address due to the need for an insulating material that could meet both structural load and thermal performance requirements.
