Cavalok Compacfoam

 

Pressure resistant like concrete, with superior heat insulation and astonishing low weight.

• No need for long window straps, excellent screw reten-tion for direct window fixing capabilities.

• New super insulating structural foam tech-nology enables load-ing of heavy A rated windows directly over cavity.

• Developed for “ Fabrication First ” design principles.

• Reinforced with steel for inner and outer leaf support.

• Forms a template to facilitate square and accurate opening for brick laying.

• Ideal for Passive House Design and CSH requirements for wider.

• Sized cavities up to 300mm.

• Reduce air leakage with the option of a four sided closer at the head.

Cavalok Structural Foam

Pressure resistant like concrete, with superior heat insulation and astonishing low weight.

 

High Resistance 15.000 kN/m²

Due to its novel macrostructure, STRUCTURALFOAM exhibits compressive strength far beyond that of conventional lightweight construction and heat insulation materials.

Modulas of Elasticity

Strain does not exceed 2% under characteristic load

Complete Isotropic

The structure of STRUCTURALFOAM is completely isotropic meaning that the material properties
are equal in all directions. The high resistance values result exclusively from its optimised, non orientated macro cell structure. Therefore, the material can withstand multi-directional loads
without any problem.

Excellent Heat Insulation 0.04 W/m K

In spite of its high mechanical resistance, STRUCTURALFOAM exhibits heat insulation characteristics analogous to conventional insulation materials.

LOw Water Absorption Capacity 5%

Even when completely submerged STRUCTURALFOAM does not absorb more than 5—10 % moisture. Consequently, STRUCTURALFOAM’s insulation performance is barely affected by
humidity of the surroundings. Subsequently, STRUCTURALFOAM is highly resistant to freezing.

Ductile Material > 10%

STRUCTURALFOAM can bear strains beyond 10%. Thus, protruding fea-tures present along an uneven surface will be absorbed without damage. For example, small stones will be integrated locally into the material without damaging the component..

Dimentianal Stability

STRUCTURALFOAM is resistant to freezing independent of reoccurring freezing and thawing events in the same manner that STRUCTURALFOAM is not affected by exposure to humidity and water. Rigidity and heat insulation performance do not change even after repeated freezing and thawing events

Resistance to Freezing

STRUCTURALFOAM always maintains its original dimensions. Even under con-tinuously changing environmental conditions deformation does not take place.

Screwable

STRUCTURALFOAM is ideal for screwing . Standard wood screws achieve high extraction force.
No pre drilling required.

Fire Behaviour Euroclass E Fire Resistance Class R0 Tested according to current standards.

Profiling

STRUCTURALFOAM can be supplied profiled to bespoke requirements. Surface stays always homogenous. Different densities available.

Testing

Materials tested according to European Norm EN 13163:2008 for its use in construction
engineering. This norm regulates precisely how and how often certain technical characteristics
must be tested:
