Construction

Research suggests that more than 50 percent of expanded perlite worldwide is used by the construction industry. Perlite plays an important role in a wide variety of construction-related uses including: as an aggregate in lightweight insulating concrete and plaster; as a loose fill insulation material for concrete masonry blocks, cavity walls, in residential homes; and in a variety of specialty applications including fireproofing sprays, chimney fills, interstitial floors, acoustical sprays, etc.

Perlite is an excellent insulator and is therefore prized for its contribution to Optimized Energy Efficiency and Thermal Comfort. Perlite is applied both as loose fill insulation in cavity walls and below floors, and as an alternative to sand in lightweight insulating concrete roof designs. Further points may be awarded for Low Emitting Materials since perlite is hypo-allergenic and does not off-gas volatile organic compounds. Perlite’s versatility and usefulness have an essential role to play in contributing to different types of green building initiatives. Multiple Attribute ratings programs such as LEED (USGBC) and new building standards such as the National Green Building Standard (IgCC), encourage the use of materials and practices that prioritize more energy efficient systems and environmentally friendly materials.

Lightweight Perlite Insulating Concrete that produced by using TurkPerlite offers architects, engineers, and building owners several important benefits:
Superior thermal performance with high insulating values, non-combustible with superior fire ratings, lightweight and durable, smooth monolithic slope-to-drain surface, realize savings in time, labor, and materials.

Key Benefits of Product

Perlite is a versatile and sustainable mineral that is mined and processed with a negligible impact on the environment. And the green community recognizes perlite-enhanced products—like lightweight insulating concrete roof decks—as a high-performance solution drawn from a natural material of nearly unlimited supply throughout the world.

With our "TurkPerlite" brand, we export perlite products to be used in casting, molding, foundry industry, agriculture, horticulture, textile, construction, heat and sound insulation, ceramic and glass industry, filtration, cooling, medicine, fertilizer and many other sectors.
