The climate is changing and requires forward-looking innovations. That's why the ACO cellar protection range has been supplemented with an intelligent component. Flood-proof*, backwater-proof - and now also thermally insulated - with the new ACO Therm® Block mounting plate.
The ACO Therm® Block is available for standard installation and for pressurised water-tight light well installation. The ACO Therm® light shaft can be quickly, easily and securely fastened directly to the mounting plate. Without thermal bridges and without drilling. In addition, costs and time are saved due to the considerably simplified application of the perimeter insulation and the elimination of plastering and painting.
In addition to the technical coordination of simple installation steps of the ACO Therm® cellar system, the uniform, discreet design is also of great importance. In this way, the building owner can recognise as a "layman" that everything fits together here and that a well thought-out solution has been implemented. In addition to a technically mature solution, he also gets a good feeling. But in addition to these emotional reasons, there are also some facts that speak in favour of the ACO Therm® design:
Increasingly stringent energy-saving regulations from governments are constantly raising the requirements for the energy quality of buildings and the efficient use of energy. It is the task of planners, building contractors, building operators and building product manufacturers to take this into account. The value retention of buildings is clearly dependent on a high energy standard.
Even during the development of the system solution for cellar windows and light shafts, it became clear in the first practical projects that the ACO Therm® cellar system can save a lot of time on the construction site. And time is money.
The German association ARGE//e. V. (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für zeitgemäßes Bauen e. V., Kiel) has independently confirmed these statements.
The entire study by ARGE // e. V. is available for download.
Protect values safely: ACO offers secure protection for your cellar and thus for your valuables. The cellar protection system, consisting of the ACO Therm® block with integrated, flood-proof* window, pressurised water-tight ACO Therm® light shaft as well as the ACO light shaft drainage and ACO backflow protection, ensures bright, dry and warm cellar rooms.
A flood-tight* ACO Therm® window is required when large amounts of surface water can enter the light shaft in addition to pressing groundwater.
