A new roof insulation system using Foamglas cellular glass has been launched by Pittsburgh Corning UK and Liquid Plastics. The cold bonded system incorporates Liquid Plastics' Decothane seamless membrane as a waterproof membrane, and was developed to provide resistance to fire from both within or outside of a building. It can be used for metal or plywood deck constructions where the risk of fire is greater, or for concrete deck constructions. Foamglas Readyboard 1, slab or tapered insulation, is bonded directly to the deck using Decostik cold fusion adhesive which has been specially developed to provide stronger adhesion and it is easy to apply by pouring on to the deck surface. When the installation has been completed, Liquid Plastics' carrier membrane is bonded to the surface of the cellular glass insulation using Decostick. This is followed by the application of the Decothane seamless membrane, which uses atmospheric moisture to trigger its curing process. There are no seams or joints, ensuring waterproof protection of the building.
