FOAMGLAS® PERINSUL High Load is a structural thermal break engineered to eliminate thermal bridging at one of the most critical junctions in a building envelope – the wall-to-foundation interface.
Manufactured from high-density cellular glass, PERINSUL High Load provides exceptional compressive strength while maintaining long-term, non-degrading thermal performance. It is purpose-designed for use beneath load-bearing masonry and brick veneer base courses, where conventional insulation materials fail structurally or thermally.
As the New Zealand distributor for Owens Corning FOAMGLAS®, Accumen stocks PERINSUL High Load locally, enabling designers to confidently specify a robust, proven solution for reducing heat loss, condensation risk, and energy inefficiency at slab edges and wall bases.
When combined with Accumen Slab Edge insulation, PERINSUL High Load forms a continuous, high-performance insulated slab system that is unmatched in durability, thermal integrity, and detailing clarity.

PERINSUL High Load conforms to ETA-18/0636 and is CE marked, with declared performance under EU CPR regulations.
- Material: Cellular glass insulation (FOAMGLAS®)
- Features
- Very high compressive strength
Designed to safely carry masonry and veneer loads without deformation over the life of the building- Permanent thermal performance
Cellular glass insulation does not shrink, compress, absorb moisture, or degrade over time - Eliminates slab-edge thermal bridging
Dramatically reduces heat loss, condensation risk, and mould formation at wall bases - Non-combustible and vapour-tight
Inorganic, fire-resistant, and impervious to water vapour (μ = ∞) - Moisture, rot, pest, and radon resistant
Ideal for ground-contact applications where durability is critical - Compatible with masonry construction
Factory-applied bitumen coating and fleece facing ensure excellent adhesion to mortar - System-led performance
When paired with Accumen Slab Edge, creates a fully insulated slab perimeter that outperforms conventional slab detailing
- Permanent thermal performance
- Very high compressive strength
- Scope of use
FOAMGLAS® PERINSUL High Load is suitable for both residential and commercial construction, including:
- Base course insulation beneath brick veneer and masonry walls
- Load-bearing walls at concrete slab edges
- Floor-to-wall junctions in thermally efficient slab-on-ground construction
- Parapets, upstands, and structural wall junctions
- Beneath timber or steel framing sole plates (subject to structural verification)
PERINSUL High Load is designed to be installed as a single continuous course, fully bonded in mortar, ensuring uniform load distribution and uninterrupted thermal performance.
