General installation

The following mortars are recommended to install POLYDROS cellular glass:

• Standard coarse-grain building plaster (YG/L) commonly as cement, dark or rough plaster.

• Asphalt emulsion mortar mixed with 10% powdered dark cement.

• Before using other mortars, please consult our technical division.

Where walls or ceiling are plaster-dressed the surfaces must be roughened to ensure the new mortar will adhere.

We always recommend that “POLYDROS” cellular glass plates be packed, ensuring that no plaster remains on seals.

NOTE: Recommendations on use, procedures and details are based on POLYDROS, S.A.’s knowledge and experience with its cellular glass plates, and are given in good faith, as assistance and guidance for Architects and Builders. However, although supplier of “POLYDROS” cellular glass plates, POLYDROS S.A. has no control over their installation and so therefore accepts no responsibility whatever for these recommendations. In particular, it accepts no responsibility for the system used or the installation methods.

“POLYDROS” cellular glass insulation 40 mm thick is the equivalent of a solid brick wall 750 mm thick
