FAQ

Find answers to the most recurring questions based on ADFORS expertise and experience

For what type of road are GlasGrids suitable?

ADFORS GlasGrid geogrids are suitable for application on all road categories of flexible pavements.

Can we use a GlasGrid for airport repairs?

Yes, ADFORS GlasGrid is suitable for airport repairs. It has already been successfully applied at more than 200 airports around the world.

Is GlasGrid millable and recyclable?

Yes, laboratory tests and experience from construction sites confirm that the ADFORS GlasGrid does not show any negative effects during milling and does not affect the depth of milling.  The ADFORG GlasGrid is unlimitedly recyclable and the partial reuse of milled asphalt granulate (including glass fibers) in a new asphalt mixture improves the fatigue behaviour of the recycled asphalt.

What are the advantages of glass fibers geogrids?

Based on strength/strain ratio, the glass fiber geogrids provide very high ability to resist crack propagation in comparison with geogrids made from different row materials. Glass fiber grids improve the life of an asphalt pavement by 200–300% through reflective crack elimination, limit rutting, bring structural benefit and allow final reuse of interlayer due to recycling of geogrid.

Is it possible to receive GlasGrid samples?

We have A4 size samples available. If you are interested, please contact our Sales Manager or customer service listed in the contacts section - select Asphalt reinforcement.

Do you also offer pavement reinforcement application?

In some countries we have partners offering our products for roads and airports as well. For more information please contact our Sales Manager or customer service listed in the contacts section - select Asphalt Reinforcement.

Are Novelio fiberglass wall coverings safe and non-toxic ?

Yes, our fiberglass wall coverings are safe and non-toxic, due to the size of the fibers  used in the production of Novelio wall coverings (close to 10 microns (μm) in diameter).

Fiberglass is recognized by the World Health organization as non-carcinogenic, if above 3 microns (μm) in diameter.

How should the wall coverings be applied on internal and external corners?

Novelio wall coverings have a specially designed coating that ensures trouble-free folding and bending around internal and extenal corners.

At least 20cm of material should extend past the corner on each side to ensure proper adhesion.

What method should I use to join the edges of the wall coverings?

All ADFORS Novelio fiberglass wall coverings feature precisely cut edges and are designed to be applied edge to edge.

Pay close attention to the edges of the roll, as any damage to them will make the seam more visible.

For non-woven textiles (vlies), you can perform a double-cut to make the joints invisible.

How should the wall coverings be installed in humid environments?

Humidity has no effect on the installation of the fiberglass wall coverings. You just need to ensure  that the proper glue is used for application in humid environments.

Please keep in mind that Novelio wall coverings should not come into direct contact with water (e.g. from a shower), unless this is something specifically designed within the system.
