Window construction

Window sill connection insulation system

The CF window sill connection replaces conventional PVC window sill connection profiles. With the optimum lambda value of COMPACFOAM condensation and mold growth in the FBA area are a thing of the past. Due to the high strength of CF-FBA, the window sill can be fixed with special window sill screws without any problems. In conjunction with a PVC coating, the window sill can also be fixed with standard window sill screws.

The CF insulating wedge offers a simple and reliable formation of the second sealing level. Due to the high lambda value of COMPACFOAM dangerous thermal bridges are reliably avoided. The inclination of the window sill to the front is ensured at 5°.

Optionally, the inside of the CF window sill Interior insulation board The 25 mm height of the internal insulation board ensures that the internal window sill is adequately underlaid.

The COMPACFOAM-The window sill connection insulation system consists of three parts:

the CF window sill connection with or without PVC

the CF insulating wedge for perfect underlining of the external window sill and optional

of the CF window sill interior insulation board.

Profile cut

Diversity

The COMPACFOAM-window sill connection insulation system is flexible in every respect:

  • The individual parts are not only available in the standard length, but also in special lengths.
  • The height and depth of the FBA profile can be freely selected. Due to the COMPACFOAMproduction process, we can produce any cross-section, even in very small quantities, at low cost.
  • There are no limits when it comes to profiling. Individual tools are not absolutely necessary, which allows us to produce any desired profile. We supply the individual FBA profile for YOUR window.
  • On request, the FBA profile can be provided with a PVC coating on one or both sides.
  • The insulation wedge and the interior insulation board can also be customized. This applies not only to the dimensions, but also to whether or not you want a tongue and groove plug-in connection.

You can achieve maximum flexibility by purchasing panels from which you can cut and profile the FBA profiles yourself in your workshop.

Screwing and drilling

Due to the high strength of CF-FBA, the window sill can also be fixed with special window sill screws without any problems. In conjunction with the PVC surface, the window sill can also be fixed with standard window sill screws. Pre-drilling in COMPACFOAM is not required.

Saws

COMPACFOAM can be easily cut to size using commercially available saws such as circular saws, pressure beam saws or hand-held circular saws. It is important to use saw blades with a wide tooth spacing and free chip space.

For the cutting of COMPACFOAM we recommend saw blades with flat teeth and chip thickness limiter and very large tooth pitch. Optimum cutting results are achieved at 2000 rpm.

Saw blade recommendation

Diameter 300mm:
12-16 teeth

Diameter 400mm:
16-20 teeth

Diameter 450mm:
20-26 teeth

Thermal insulation

Thermal insulation: Window sill connection

COMPACFOAM FBA profiles replace conventional PVC window sill connection insulation profiles. The optimum lambda value of COMPACFOAM leads to a lower U-value for windows without thermal bridges.

Sustainability

With the help of a newly developed process, particle technology, we can reduce the waste of COMPACFOAM recycle to 100 %. CFeco200, the result of this process, offers the same good properties as COMPACFOAMhigh strength with excellent thermal insulation.

COMPACFOAM FBAs can also be ordered in the CFeco200 recycling version.

In any case, you increase the proportion of recycled materials in construction and improve the eco-balance of your project and company. Because environmental protection means keeping things in circulation instead of disposing of them at great expense.

Assembly instructions

1. air and water tightness

Apply two beads of adhesive with a width of 8 mm to the FBA profile and press it under the window profile. Use an MS polymer assembly adhesive for this. To avoid wastage, you can butt join the profile. The butt joint must be glued airtight and watertight with the MS polymer installation adhesive.

2. mounting the FBA

Screw the FBA profile and the window together using window frame screws (Ø 7.5 mm). The screws can be screwed in from above or below - both variants are possible.

The distance and anchoring length depend on the structural requirements or the RAL installation guide. Pre-drilling in the insulation profile is not necessary.

3. installation

Position the window frame on shims in accordance with recognized technical rules. Installation is carried out using window frame screws. Pre-drilling in the insulation profile is not necessary.

4. sealing

Sealing is carried out in accordance with the recognized rules of technology.

5. insulation wedge and interior insulation board (optional)

The FBA profile optionally has 1 groove on the inside and 1 on the outside. The insulation wedge and the internal insulation board can therefore be inserted and fixed with MS polymer adhesive for reinforcement.
