greenteQ Insulating profile is a new type of insulating construction material that combines the highest degree of rigidity with the best thermal insulating characteristics. Outstanding design characteristics – such as high rigidity (only 2% compression under working load), long-term stability and screw mounting capability with standard window/particle board screws without the need for pre-drilling – open up fields of application in areas where cold thermal bridges often had to be accepted in the past. Easy and reliable application is also achieved through the high ductility. In spite of the high rigidity, the elongation at break is more than 10%. That means that the unevenness of the foundation is compensated without incurring damage; protruding areas such as small stones press into the material without causing the component to break. Superior thermal insulation characteristics, even with low insulation thicknesses, often improve the overall performance of the window systems significantly.
The permeable characteristics assure the reliable, long-term use in sensitive contact areas with other materials and permits the quick extraction of incidental moisture. Its dimensional stability under changing environmental conditions, resistance to freezing and thawing cycles and its isotropic behaviour guarantee many years of service without surprises. greenteQ Insulating profile can be sawed, milled and planed with ordinary woodcutting equipment.
