    Has anyone got any experience with using LWA's (Max-It, MillCell, Misaphor, etc.) for ground floor insulation? Max-It (also known as LECA) has been around for 30 odd years, so should be fairly tried and tested by now! The other ones seem like a really nice way of recycling old glass bottles! :smile:

    They look like a very nice product to me. Needs to be a slab type floor though, but for a new build that's not really an issue.

    I'm considering using one of them so I'd appreciate any input.

    I have used 'no fines' but nothing superior. One building system used this system with shuttered mass concrete for constructing estates about 1976 - they did one in Cardiff for certain. Not sure of the latest developments.

    I've used the foamed glass in limecrete floors and prefer it to LECA for ease of use. It's also cheaper.

    Many thanks for your input Gervase. I'm pretty keen on the foamed glass myself.
