Telling Lime Products Ltd - FOAMGLAS™ and Lime Insulated Render
Cladding
Telling Lime Products have entered in to a
collaborative agreement with Pittsburgh Corning (PC UK)
to develop an insulated render system that claims
remarkable characteristics to surpass those of the
currently available systems.
Sustainability
• The FOAMGLAS™ insulant is a dense cellular glass slab,
manufactured from 66% recycled glass.
• The render systems are manufactured from hydraulic
lime mined from naturally occurring limestone
• Colours are derived from ochres created from natural
iron oxides and mineral pigments.
Stability
• The FOAMGLAS™ can be demonstrated to have a life cycle
of 50-100 years with surety that the thermal value of
the slab will not diminish. The material is inert and
unaffected by moisture.
Fire
• FOAMGLAS™ is classified as non combustible toEuroClass
A1 – no contribution to fire, as are the mineral
hydraulic lime renders.
Impact Resistance
• When rendered with the natural hydraulic lime and
bonded to a stable substrate the FOAMGLAS™ will provide
the characteristics of a thermal masonry unit in terms
of impact resistance and sound resonance.
Appearance
• Unilit Natural hydraulic lime plastering material
enable the render to be applied to create traditional
Stucco without synthetic textured effect or colouring.
Traditional render features of ashlar grooves and struck
joints can be formed in the render
Carbon Neutral/The Environment
• Harmful CO2 emissions acknowledged as being a major
cause of the greenhouse effect occur during the
production of both cement and lime. However lime mortars
are burnt at temperatures between 900°C and 1200°C and
cement exceeds 1450°C. More energy is therefore required
for the production of cement. Additionally, a study of
the lime cycle indicates that an equal amount of CO2 is
retained during the carbonation process as is released
during the burning of limestone. Consequently, lime
mortar is ecologically more preferable product.
• FOAMGLAS™ has a global warming potential of less than
5.
