EXTERIOR WALLS/FAÇADES/INTERIOR WALLS/ATTICS

Exterior walls – U/C profiles with a thickness of 1.5 mm and a width of 160 mm;
Interior walls – U/C profiles with a thickness of 1.5 mm and a width of 100, 120, 160 mm;
Profiles are fixed with 8 screws per node;
All types of thermal insulation systems or ventilated façades can be used;
Thermal insulation of interior/exterior walls is done with cellulose fibers or mineral wool;
OSB 3 cladding is applied on one or both sides depending on the insulation used;

FLOORS/TERRACES/STAIRS

U/C profiles with a thickness of 1.5 mm and a height of 200, 300 mm;
Profiles are fixed with 8 screws per node;
Thermal insulation is done with cellulose fibers or mineral wool;
OSB 3 cladding is applied on one or both sides depending on the insulation used;
Lightweight concrete floors can also be used with a lost formwork made of corrugated sheet metal;

ROOFS/RAFTERS/LOFTS

U/C profiles with a thickness of 1.5 mm and a height of 160, 200, 300 mm;
Profiles are fixed with 8 screws per node;
The rafter insulation is done with cellulose fibers or mineral wool;
All types of roof coverings can be used in a ventilated or non-ventilated system;
Rafters can be configured in various ways: with a straight slope, with a sloping slope (concave or convex);
For natural lighting of spaces, skylights, attic windows, or dormers made of the frame structure can be used;
