Metal Standing Seam Roofing
Unusual and striking roof shapes can be achieved using a wide range of materials, including metal. Metal is extremely durable, proven to withstand demanding environments, such as coastal and mountain locations. FOAMGLAS® has developed a unique method of securing the metal roof sheet to the insulation, thus eliminating thermal bridging. Metal roofing combined with FOAMGLAS® is very popular for many projects, ranging from small houses, to boutique hotels, schools and offices. The vapour tight characteristics of FOAMGLAS® make the system particularly suited to high humidity environments such as swimming pools, health spas and leisure centres.
Technical features and benefits:
- Eliminating thermal bridging
Traditionally metal roofs are secured to the building structure with brackets and screw fixings, these pass through the insulation layer and vapour control layer; each bracket and fixing is a thermal bridge. FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation has a unique fixing system for metal roofing. A plate is inserted into the surface of the FOAMGLAS®, the metal roof fixing brackets are then secured to this plate; there is no thermal path between the metal roof sheet and the struc ture of the building. Thermal bridging is eliminated.
- Waterproof
FOAMGLAS® consists of pure glass, it has a truly hermetically sealed, closed glass cell structure. It is gas and vapour tight. The closed cell structure prevents water absorption, penetration or tracking by capillary action.
- Fire and fumes
FOAMGLAS® consists of pure glass, it is nontoxic, does not combust, support fire, produce fumes, or present a fire risk in the building structure.
- Vapour control
FOAMGLAS® consists of pure glass, it has a truly hermetically sealed, closed glass cell structure. It is gas and vapour tight. The closed cell structure prevents water penetration or tracking by capillary action. FOAMGLAS® and its adhesive is vapour tight, providing both an insulation system and high performance vapour barrier in one material.
- Dimensionally stable
FOAMGLAS® has a low coefficient of thermal movement, in the same range as concrete and steel and is therefore simply adhesive bonded onto the building structure.
- Non-toxic
FOAMGLAS® consists of pure glass. It is nontoxic, non-hazardous, it does not contaminate the water table; and is easily cut using hand tools.
