Ventajas - Covintec

Construction system Covintec

It has been designed to provide the best construction solution for your project. From the variety of solutions to the details of the products, they have been thought out to generate savings in: time, materials and energy. All this without diminishing the strength and durability of the construction.

Covintec It is a construction system formed by a three-dimensional structure of polished or galvanized wire gauge #14 (2.03 mm), electro-welded at each point of contact, composed of vertical reinforcements called ladders or ZIG-ZAG.

When fixed with wire of the same type, they form meshes on each side with a 5 cm grid and inside these frames a core composed of expanded polystyrene is incorporated that will act as thermal and acoustic insulation of 44db.

This structure combined with the application of mortar gives it an ideal structural capacity to form load-bearing walls with great capacity, facades with high resistance to inclement weather and any type of impact.

Aislamiento Térmico y Acústico

Thermal insulation

Having thermal insulation can make a big difference in terms of energy efficiency, comfort and long-term costs.

Energy Efficiency: One of the main benefits of the products. Covintec is its high R-value, where we can measure the thermal resistance of the material. With an R-value of 16.0 for a 4-inch thick polystyrene insulation, it far exceeds the R-value of 7.87 that you get with an 8-inch-wide cinder block. This means that Covintec offers almost twice the resistance to heat transfer compared to concrete block.

- Confort Térmico: With Covintec Polystyrene reduces temperature fluctuations and maintains heat during the cold months, and coolness during the warm months.

Reduction of Energy Costs: Build a house with Covintec can reduce heating and cooling energy consumption by 20% to 40% compared to traditional cement block construction.

Acoustic insulation

When considering insulation in home construction, not only thermal insulation is crucial, but also acoustic insulation. Choosing Covintec can have a significant impact on quality of life, comfort and cost efficiency compared to traditional cement blocks.

Acoustic Efficiency: Polystyrene, especially its closed cell structure and density, helps to reduce the transmission of sound from one environment to another. This is particularly beneficial in areas where you want to minimize outside noise, such as in urban environments or near roads.

- Improved Quality of Life: Good sound insulation contributes to a quieter and more comfortable indoor environment. By using products Covintec, impact noise, such as footsteps on the floor above, is reduced, as well as airborne noise, such as conversations or music. This results in a more pleasant space to live and work in.

High quality in construction by:

DURABLE

Panel walls and ceilings Covintec Being made of concrete, steel and self-extinguishing polystyrene, they have great resistance to weather, fire, hurricanes and earthquakes.

EASY

No specialized labor or special tools are required and it allows for self-construction. By solving walls, slabs and details with a single material, material planning is simplified and waste is minimized.

LOWER COSTS

Lower direct costs compared to the traditional method.
Lower fixed costs due to shorter construction time: supervision, financial and capital costs.
Less waste of materials, labor and wood…
Savings on resumption of facilities
Due to its lightness, savings in foundations, structure and movement of materials.

COMFORTABLE

The panel Covintec With its polystyrene core, it is an excellent thermal, acoustic and moisture insulator, which means that buildings are warm in cold climates, cool in hot climates and quiet against noise from the street and other rooms.

FAST

It is built in less than half the time of traditional systems.
