Thermal break for façade systems/WDVS
The focus is on thermal bridge-free implementation, both for curtain wall façades and for installation in external thermal insulation composite systems. Thanks to its excellent insulating properties and exceptionally high compressive strength, COMPACFOAM is ideal for these tasks. Even heavy loads can be easily attached to the ETICS with COMPACFOAM. Prefabricated separating bearings are used for façade installation.
Applications
Thermal break façade systems
Compacfoam is used for the thermally separated installation of façade systems. Separation layers of 1-2 cm under brackets and mounting points significantly reduce heat loss through local thermal bridges. The bearings can be supplied pre-assembled or cut from panels on site. Adaptations with milling to system components are possible without any problems.
Mounting bracket for hinged and sliding shutters in ETICS
Hinged shutters in particular exert incredible forces on the substructure. Elements must be permanently stable, pressure-resistant and, above all, well insulating. Even with very thick façade insulation, the COMPACFOAM mounting block meets these requirements. The mounting block is attached directly to the wall with adhesive as an element of the full thermal insulation. To fix the awning bracket, bolt anchors or a threaded rod are anchored through the mounting block into the load-bearing wall.
Mounting elements for awnings in ETICS
Increasing façade insulation thicknesses require new solutions for fixing awnings, as previous fixing systems usually only work up to an ETICS thickness of 160 mm. At the same time, installation should be simple and free of thermal bridges. COMPACFOAM meets these requirements. You can obtain COMPACFOAM in any desired format – ready-made as a mounting block or to cut to length yourself as a mounting rod. On request, we can take the hole pattern of the bracket into account.
Mounting elements for medium-heavy loads in ETICS
The installation of low-load components on the external thermal insulation composite system requires new fastening solutions with increasing insulation thicknesses. The COMPACFOAM mounting components are supplied either as a rectangular block, rectangular bar or mounting element adapted to the required geometry of the component. Bars can simply be cut to the required insulation thickness on site. Tensile forces can be transferred to the construction level (masonry, reinforced concrete, etc.) using steel anchors. For medium loads, installation can be carried out directly in COMPACFOAM using standard wood screws without pre-drilling.
Mounting elements for electrical sockets in ETICS
External sockets that are fixed in ETICS are subject to particular stress: repeated tensile forces when plugging in power cables usually cause the sockets to tear out after a while. The COMPACFOAM electrical mounting element (round or square) is firmly anchored to the masonry, while the socket itself is screwed into the CF element. In this way, COMPACFOAM creates the perfect combination: fixed anchoring and yet a continuous thermal insulation composite system.
Mounting cylinder rod for ETICS
Subsequent fastening of medium-heavy loads can be easily carried out with the COMPACFOAM cylinder rod. After a hole has been made in the ETICS with the can drill, the cylinder rod is cut to the desired length and the hole is filled with COMPACFOAM. Fasten directly into the COMPACFOAM mounting cylinder using standard wood screws. Pre-drilling is not required.

FAQ
The choice of the right material class depends primarily on the required screw pull-out strength and compressive strength. Larger screws generally allow the use of a lighter material class. Typical material classes are:
Window installation: CFeco and CF125
Sandwich cores for vehicle and furniture construction: CF200
Thermal break for steel structures: CF200, CF300, CF400
We are happy to support you in dimensioning and selecting the right material class to ensure that the solution is optimally tailored to your requirements. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or uncertainties!
Yes, COMPACFOAM is available in individual dimensions. The only limitation is usually the practical transport dimensions. Profiling and milling according to customer specifications are also possible.
Standard panels are available in all required thicknesses and strength classes. Cutting to size is easy with normal woodworking machines. Please use the saw blade recommended by us with a large tooth spacing. No substances harmful to health or the environment are produced during cutting.
The minimum dimensions are 6 mm thickness, 10 mm widthand the maximum dimensions are 500 mm thick, 1300 mm wide and 6000 mm long. Standard panels are also available for self-cutting.
All screws with a wood thread are suitable for installation. If there is sufficient space, a window frame screw with a diameter of 7.5 mm is recommended. Wood screws with a diameter of 4 mm are ideal for smaller components. Pre-drilling is not necessary and screws can also be used close to the edge without any problems.
COMPACFOAM has an unlimited shelf life under normal conditions. Moisture, water and frost do not affect the technical properties. UV radiation only has a minor superficial effect, meaning that even prolonged outdoor storage during the construction phase is unproblematic.
