About this product

Product information from the supplier.

Glass Gravel is a high-performance, innovative lightweight aggregate engineered from 100% recycled glass. Through a precise foaming and sintering process, crushed glass is transformed into porous granules that offer a superior combination of structural stability, thermal insulation, and exceptional drainage. This eco-friendly material is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern construction, geotechnical engineering, and sustainable landscaping.

Characterized by its extremely low density and closed-cell internal structure, Glass Gravel significantly reduces the overall load on structural systems while providing outstanding frost resistance. Being chemically inert and fire-resistant, it serves as a durable, long-lasting alternative to traditional natural aggregates, empowering architects and engineers to build greener, more efficient infrastructure without compromising on technical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes Glass Gravel different from natural gravel?

Unlike natural gravel, Glass Gravel is a recycled, lightweight aggregate with a closed-cell structure, providing significantly better thermal insulation and lower structural load.

Q: Is Glass Gravel suitable for green roofs and flat roofs?

Yes, its superior drainage capabilities and lightweight nature make it an ideal substrate for green roofs, preventing moisture accumulation while reducing weight on the roof slab.

Q: How does the recycled glass process benefit the environment?

It repurposes post-consumer and industrial glass that would otherwise end up in landfills, promoting a circular economy in the non-metallic mining and construction sectors.

Q: Can Glass Gravel be used for thermal insulation under slabs?

Absolutely. Its low thermal conductivity makes it an excellent choice for insulating concrete slabs, particularly in energy-efficient "passive house" designs.

Q: Is this material fire-resistant?

Yes, Glass Gravel is manufactured through a high-temperature sintering process, rendering it non-combustible and fire-resistant.

Q: Does Glass Gravel affect soil pH or chemistry?

No, Glass Gravel is chemically inert, meaning it does not react with surrounding soil or water, making it safe for a wide range of geotechnical applications.
