Take it easy - with MISAPOR!
Low bulk density but still pressure resistant, with perfect drainage and able to be shaped up to 45 degrees. MISAPOR shows the way.
With its low bulk density (MISAPOR 10/75 from 120 kg/m3 dry) cellular glass helps in reducing load on roofs and on top of underground garages, etc. Thus there are no limits to the freedom of design and previously unusable areas are now economically viable.
Features
- Low and stable weight without water absorption
- Fast drainage thanks to longitudinal and transverse draining
- Quick and easy installation
-
lightweight filling
lightweight filling
MISAPOR makes it easy.
Earth and gravel are heavy and often load retaining walls, ramps, concrete ceilings or roof constructions unnecessarily heavily. MISAPOR is around ten times lighter than gravel and thus provides only a light load on structures. Load-bearing constructions can therefore have much leaner designs - saving money. Even during heavy rainfall, the weight of MISAPOR remains constant, because the cellular glass is comprised of closed cells that do not absorb water. The fill means that the water runs of quickly.
Features
- Low and stable weight without water intake
- Rapid water discharge thanks to excellent longitudinal and transverse drainage
- Easy and quick installation
- Resistant to freeze-thaw cycles
- Fire-resistant to class A1
- Rot-proof, inert and durable
- Fit for traffic already during installation
- Does not roll, backfilling with excellent angle of friction
- MISAPOR dispenses with the need for a concrete slab to distribute the load on the traffic-bearing lightweight cover.
- Easy and quick installation
- Transport volumes up to 90 m3 bulk per lorry, which saves on time and money
- Very strong and durable resistance to pressure and deformation

Shaping

Mountains from design ideas
MISAPOR can be perfectly levelled; however, it doesn't have to be. Parks with hilly landscapes, creative gardens on roofs and lightweight aggregate in entrances can all be realised in three dimensions using MISAPOR. The angular MISAPOR stones, with their rough surface, do not roll. This allows shaping of up to 45 degrees without lateral support.
Features
- Low and stable weight without water absorption
- Resistant to freeze-thaw cycles
- Fast water drainage thanks to excellent linear and transverse drainage
- Fire resistant according to A1 standard
- Imputrescible, inert and durable
- Carrossable from the installation phase
- Does not roll, backfill with excellent angle of friction
- Thanks to MISAPOR, there is no need for a concrete slab for load distribution on the lightweight backfill that can be driven over
- Easy and quick installation
- Transport by truck of 90m3, large volumes can be set up per day, saving time on site
- Very high resistance to compression and deformation over the long term

Sports Grounds
Sports Grounds
Cellular glass for champions
MISAPOR plays in the champions league – also in sports field construction.
Whether used for a football pitch, tennis court or ice rink. The pressure-resistant gravel stabilises the terrain as its low weight hardly puts any strain on the ground. Above all, however, the perfect drainage makes the difference in sports field construction: After a rain shower, the course is dry and playable again much faster.
Features
- High drainage capacity with transverse and longitudinal draining
- Relieves poorly bearing ground
- Thermal insulation prevents frost damage
- High compressive strength ensures multifunctional use

MISAPOR rises to the roof
MISAPOR turns your roof into a garden. Whether intensively or extensively planted – thanks to the lightness of MISAPOR there are no limits to creativity.
Urban gardening can be perfectly realised using MISAPOR as a light-fill and drainage layer. Cellular glass barely loads the load-bearing statics, is easy to model, does not burn and is absolutely non-toxic. That makes your plants happy, too.Features
- Extremely light weight (10 x lighter than gravel)
- Non-combustible (class A1 according to ISO EN 13501)
- Weight stable (MISAPOR does not absorb water)
- Good drainage layer including thermal insulation
- Rodentresistant and rot-proofeasy and quick application

Swimming Pools
Swimming Pools
Warmly recommended
The MISAPOR system: perfect insulation, pressure relief and perfect water drainage for backfilling pool walls.
In swimming pools, steel tubs, tanks and other containers that need to be protected against cooling or frost, cellular glass serves as first class insulation and dissolves the drainage arround the building. An additional advantage is its quick and easy installation, so that the summer is not over before your bathing season begins.
Features
- High thermal insulation
- Ultra-low weight
- Excellent water drainage
- Modelable with a repose angle up to 45 degrees
- Fast and easy installation
- Rodent resistant and rot-proof

Behind bars
MISAPOR foam glass is strikingly good even behind bars – and here the grey stone still looks aesthetic and sexy and even manages to convey comfort and cosiness. Whether in the field of noise protection or in decorative applications – MISAPOR appeals to all the senses.
MISAPOR is not only clever and smart, it also saves time and money. The low weight allows large delivery volumes and lower grid thicknesses. Due to easy handling, installation is straightforward and quick.

Substratmischung
Substratmischung
Für die Begrünung selbst wenig tragfähiger Dachflächen ist MISAPOR die ideale Lösung.
Der leichte Untergrund verhält sich im Prinzip wie ein Erde-Stein-Gemisch: Er zeigt dank seiner hervorragenden Druckfestigkeit keine langfristigen Setzungen. So ermöglicht MISAPOR das Bepflanzen, das Begehen und sogar das Befahren von Schüttungen auf Bauwerk.
Durch teilweise Substitution schweren Substrats durch leichtgewichtiges MISAPOR kann erfolgreich Gewicht eingespart werden.
Beispiel: Für 500 Liter organische Erde gemischt mit 1m3 MISAPOR erhalten wir 1m3 Substrat, das einen um ca. 500 bis 600 kg/m3 leichteren Trockenwert bietet.MISAPOR verringert nicht nur das Gewicht der Schüttung, sondern stellt auch die bessere Bodendurchlüftung sicher. Mit einem pH-Wert von 8-9 ist MISAPOR geeignet für Grünflächen und hat keinen Einfluss auf das Pflanzenwachstum.
Features
- Ermöglicht ultraleichtes Substrat
- Mineralisch: Kein Verrotten
- Inert
- Keine Setzung
