Abstract
Foam glass is currently a material produced from waste glass that cannot be used in the glass industry. Therefore, it is currently made from secondary raw materials obtained by recycling unusable waste glass. Due to the large proportion of closed pores in the material structure, the foam glass achieves excellent thermal insulation properties and limited water absorption. The porous structure of the glass is relatively regular, and the pores predominantly have a round character; therefore, the foam glass exhibits very good mechanical properties at a low density. Foam glass in the form of aggregate represents an interesting raw material from which it is possible to produce various types of light composites with a very good ratio of thermal insulation and mechanical properties. The contribution describes the results of research in the field of the development of ultra-lightweight aggregate concretes with subsequent use for producing prefabricated thermal insulating masonry elements for the construction of energy efficient buildings.
