TECHNOlith insulating concrete – the ecologically green shade of gray

The benefits of the construction material concrete, plus the many-varied properties of glassfoam granules all add up to TECHNOlith insulating concrete. The conventionally processed construction material achieves more than sufficient strength for use in multi-story residential buildings.

The mineral insulating glassfoam granules are ecologically sound. They are manufactured to 100 % from sorted recycled glass. The granules, measuring approx. 30 to 50 mm, are used as insulating material and lightweight loose bulk material, primarily for perimeter insulation underneath the ground slab. The large...
