Covintec has been designed to provide the best construction solution for your project. From the variety of solutions to the details of the products, we've designed them to generate savings in time, materials, and energy. All this without compromising the strength and durability of the construction.
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.
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.
Thermal Comfort: 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.
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.
Panel walls and ceilings Covintec Being made of concrete, steel and self-extinguishing polystyrene, they have great resistance to weather, fire, hurricanes and earthquakes.
It is built in less than half the time of traditional systems.
The COVINTEC panel with its polystyrene core is an excellent thermal, acoustic and moisture insulator, resulting in warm buildings in cold climates, cool buildings in hot climates, and quiet buildings that are soundproof against street noise and noise from other rooms.
