Cold-bridge free awning assembly with Compacfoam

Ever stronger insulation layers and at the same time the requirement of a cold-bridge-free but nevertheless simple assembly will make you rethink previous construction- and assembly practices. The Compacfoam assembly block CF 200 is the simple and economic option for fastening awnings without cold bridges on the exterior wall in the EIFS system.

The highly insulating assembly block Compacfoam CF200 is first fastened directly onto the wall with anchor bolts or screws as an upgraded insulation element. The steel anchors necessary for fastening the awing console are anchored into the weight-bearing wall through the Compacfoam block. Commonly available push-in bolts absorb the lateral forces for securing against sliding. Next the preparation of the EIFS system can take place without additional effort. Afterwards the awning is fastened by simply screwing it on in the required position.

Compacfoam is manufactured from commonly available façade EPS, and it can be incorporated into the EIFS system and plastered over without complications. Possible manufacture guidelines for the EIFS system must be obeyed. Compacfoam assembly block is delivered in rods or ready-made in blocks, and if needed it can be adapted with saw, manual planes or hot-wire devices at the construction site.
