Cellular Glass Blocks Installation Contractor in Dubai UAE

In the demanding industrial and construction sectors of the UAE and the Middle East, Cellular Glass Blocks (e.g., FOAMGLAS®) have become a go-to solution for insulation where high thermal efficiency, moisture resistance, and non-combustibility are non-negotiable. At Protek Contracting, we specialize in the professional installation of Cellular Glass Blocks across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah, delivering solutions that meet the highest standards in insulation and fire safety.

Why Choose Cellular Glass Blocks for Insulation?

Cellular Glass, often known by the brand name FOAMGLAS®, is a rigid, lightweight insulation material composed of millions of hermetically sealed glass cells. This structure offers unique advantages that make it ideal for a wide range of insulation needs:

• Non-combustible: Provides passive fire protection due to its inorganic composition
• 100% Moisture-Proof: Zero water absorption, no capillarity, and impervious to vapor
• High Compressive Strength: Ideal for load-bearing applications such as tank bases and cryogenic piping
• Dimensional Stability: Will not shrink, warp, or degrade over time
• Chemical Resistance: Withstands exposure to acids, oils, and solvents
• Eco-Friendly: Contains no ozone-depleting substances, and is fully recyclable

These properties make Cellular Glass the preferred insulation material for critical applications across industrial, petrochemical, marine, and infrastructure projects in the UAE and Middle East.

Applications of Cellular Glass Block Insulation

Protek Contracting deploys FOAMGLAS® and equivalent cellular glass products for multiple applications across the seven emirates:

1. Cryogenic and Cold Storage Insulation

In Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Fujairah, cellular glass is widely used in LNG and NGL terminals, providing unparalleled performance for extreme cold environments.

2. Roof and Wall Insulation

Projects in Sharjah and Ajman benefit from the robust insulation for building envelopes, eliminating risks of condensation.

3. Underground Pipe Insulation

In Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah, cellular glass blocks are applied for subterranean piping, ensuring zero infiltration and corrosion resistance.

4. Tank Base and Vessel Insulation

Heavy-duty use cases such as oil tanks, chemical vessels, and refineries often require rigid, load-bearing insulation solutions.
