Lightweight. Free Draining. Sustainable.
Green roofs have become a hallmark of sustainable design, offering energy efficiency, stormwater management, and enhanced urban biodiversity. Foam glass gravel adds another layer of innovation to this eco-friendly application. Made from 100% recycled glass, Glavel provides a lightweight yet robust foundation for green roof systems.
Its closed-cell structure ensures superior drainage and insulation, preventing waterlogging while maintaining optimal soil conditions for plant health. Unlike traditional aggregates, Glavel’s lightweight composition reduces the structural load on buildings, making green roofs viable for a wider range of projects, from small retrofits to expansive commercial developments.
Beyond its practical benefits, Glavel contributes to a building’s low embodied carbon goals, aligning with the sustainability priorities of architects and builders. By incorporating Glavel into green roof designs, project teams achieve a combination of performance and environmental stewardship, creating spaces that are both resilient and regenerative.
