GUTEX Implio® provides you with many advantages: Advanced wind and driving rain protection Cross-trade premium solution iWDVS® certification provides system performance assurance Effective protection against building damage Innovative Fast and easy The System and Its Components Obtaining reliably tight joints in ETIC systems usually is a formidable challenge. And the performance of the entire system depends on the tightness of the joints. Window joints, however, are particularly complex and critical. GUTEX Implio® Laibungsplatte GUTEX Implio® Keilplatte GUTEX Implio® Fensteranschlussprofil Typically, windows are a building element where up to four different tradespersons are likely to be in play, including window contractors, architectural blinds installers, plasterers, tinsmiths or masons. This increases the potential of failure in what is already building envelopes’ weakest member. GUTEX Implio®, a precision-engineered integral system with quality-built components, leaves nothing to chance. GUTEX Implio® Dichtkleber GUTEX Implio® Fensterbankdichtband, -Ecke GUTEX Implio® Bordprofile GUTEX Implio® Storekasten GUTEX Implio® Sunshade Housings The Problem: Today, outdoor architectural blinds housings are metal and installed by either the window contractor or sunshade installers. The plasterer or tradesperson who clads the façade has the job of integrating the metal housing into the ETICS. Common practice for convenience and want of a better alternative involves gluing some type of board onto the housing. Understandably, neither the contractor nor the insulation system manufacturer is willing to pick up the warranty under such circumstances. And this, of course, conflicts with the interests of architects and homeowners. Our Answer: GUTEX Implio® Storekästen are housings for architectural blinds and are integrated components in GUTEX external insulation composite systems. Installed by the façade contractor, the GUTEX Implio® casings are manufactured from ecological softwood fibre and fitted with aluminium mounts to accommodate, without thermal bridging, most of the sunshades that are commonly available on the market. iWDVS – a designation sets new standards. In recent years, demand to significantly increase the energy efficiency of buildings has led to building envelopes becoming complex high-tech elements. Every stage, from the idea to realisation and from the plan to maintenance and care, requires a great deal of careful consideration to ensure the accord of the entire system. For this reason, it became necessary to establish a design network that would facilitate cooperation between companies and across trades, in order to improve performance through advanced system solutions. The organisation bears the name iWDVS in Germany. Participating companies are dedicated to providing innovations that encompass all the key details and component features that affect products’ capabilities to integrate into exterior insulation systems and the processes by which they integrate. The “i” stands for innovative, integration and interdisciplinary. And the good news is all products with a iWDVS designation have been tested in their installed respective systems and certified by a qualified institute (e.g. ift-Rosenheim). Thus, homeowners, architects and tradespersons finally have assurance that not only components, but also entire exterior wall insulation systems will perform exactly as specified.
