Efficient solutions for modern window construction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In window construction, thermal bridge-free connections and high load-bearing capacity are essential. Traditional materials often reach their limits when stability and thermal insulation have to be combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMPACFOAM<\/mark> is the solution: high strength, excellent insulation and low weight. Ideal for pre-wall installations, window sill connections, substructure insulation profiles and frame extensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With COMPACFOAM<\/mark> you can build energy-efficient and durable. High load-bearing capacity and easy processing make it the economical choice for window construction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Substructure insulating profile (UDP)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The CF substructure insulating profile combines strength with excellent thermal insulation and a very low dead weight. With the UDP, you can ensure the desired floor clearance for patio doors, front doors and windows. The stable and waterproof construction material means that it can be fixed from all sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMore information<\/span>\n<\/path>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lift and slide substructure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The HS substructure combines strength with two load-bearing layers and an insulating core with excellent thermal insulation and a very low dead weight. Thanks to the two thick load-bearing layers on the inside and outside, it can be screwed together from above and below without any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMore information<\/span>\n<\/path>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pre-wall installation (Klima Konform)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the CF-Klima Konform system, windows and doors can be installed in the insulation level (ETICS) without thermal bridges. This means that the windows and doors move to the outside of the thermal insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMore information<\/span>\n<\/path>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Window sill connection insulation system (FBA)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The CF window sill connection insulation system consists of the CF window sill connection (FBA), the CF insulation wedge for underlining the external window sill and the CF internal insulation board. The CF-FBA replaces conventional PVC profiles. With the optimum lambda value of COMPACFOAM<\/mark>, condensation and mold growth are a thing of the past.Due to the high strength, the window sill can be fixed with special window sill screws without any problems. Standard window sill screws can also be used in conjunction with a PVC surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMore information<\/span>\n<\/path>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Frame widening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The CF frame widening profile combines high strength with excellent thermal insulation and low dead weight. It enables secure widening for windows, doors and fa\u00e7ade elements. Thanks to the stable, waterproof construction material, fixing is possible from all sides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The CF construction core is thermally stabilized so that there is no swelling and shrinkage due to changes in temperature and humidity. It is insensitive to moisture, temperature and frost, yet is open to diffusion and breathable. This is particularly important when in contact with wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMore information<\/span>\n<\/path>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Window scantlings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The CF insulation core can be used to produce energy-optimized window scantlings with maximum thermal insulation. The CF insulation core is characterized by its high dimensional and compressive stability. It is also available in any cross-section. Window scantlings with the CF insulating core can be processed using standard woodworking machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMore information<\/span>\n<\/path>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Components for high-performance window systems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Special designs in window construction require solutions with high strength and thermal insulation. COMPACFOAM<\/mark> replaces several components thanks to these properties and simplifies construction. Thanks to its high diffusion openness, it is ideal for contact with wood and its precision and dimensional stability make it particularly suitable for crimp and clamp connections on aluminum systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRequest<\/span>\n<\/path>\n<\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
