Low density
Its porous structure supports lightweight aggregate and insulation compositions.
From mineral to working envelope
Perlite in the building system
Expanded volcanic mineral becomes useful only when its properties are verified and correctly integrated into an assembly.
Materialgrade and density
Assemblylayers and compatibility
Buildingdetails and control
Thermal resistance
Air in the pores slows heat transfer. Performance is calculated for each assembly.
Mineral base
The material is used in assemblies that require non-combustible components.
Sound behavior
Open porosity in selected mixes can help dissipate sound energy.

Certificates and testing
Performance data for a specific system is supported by test reports and calculations for the selected assembly. Documents are published only after their scope of use is verified.
Frequently asked questions
Does perlite replace all insulation?
No. The designer selects an assembly based on climate, structure, fire, and moisture requirements.
Can a fixed energy saving be promised?
Not without an energy model and operational data. Geometry, glazing, ventilation, thermal bridges, and user behavior all matter.
Which documents matter?
Request conformity certificates, test reports, technical specifications, detail calculations, and evidence of intended use.
How is site quality controlled?
Through incoming inspections, method statements, thickness and density checks, and records of concealed work.
