EUROPIR® CAPS caps for insulating mechanical connectors

EUROPIR® CAPS – caps made of highly insulating PIR foam are designed for thermal insulation of mechanical connector plates. The caps are used to increase the tightness of thermal insulation and reduce the risk of thermal bridges. In addition, EUROPIR® CAPS eliminate the undesirable phenomenon of localised water vapour condensation and discolouration of the façade that occurs over time at the connection points.

EUROPIR® CAPS – caps made of highly insulating PIR foam designed for thermal insulation of mechanical connector plates. EUROPIR® CAPS are used during the installation of PIR-based facade insulation boards and systems.

PIR caps are used to increase the tightness of thermal insulation and reduce the risk of thermal bridges. In addition, their use eliminates the undesirable phenomenon of localised water vapour condensation and discolouration of the façade that occurs over time at the points where connectors are installed.

The product is particularly recommended for insulating facades finished with plaster, paint, bricks or clinker tiles.

Application in construction:

Insulation of mechanical connectors during wall insulation

Single-family and multi-family buildings

Residential blocks

Public utility buildings

Commercial premises

Energy-efficient and passive buildings

Insulation of new buildings

Thermal modernisation

Icon

The exceptionally low lambda value among uncoated boards translates into an effective reduction in energy losses used for heating
and cooling rooms and the associated costs.

Icon

The slightly elliptical shape ensures better seating and fastening of the cap in the hole and more secure fastening of the connector plate.

Icon

High resistance to biological and chemical factors and parameter stability guarantee the durability and functionality of the façade and high insulation efficiency over many years.

Icon

Low water absorption of insulation means resistance to mould, fungi and the growth of other microorganisms.

Transport and storage

Packaging with caps should be transported using appropriate, modified means of transport. Packages may be delivered by collective transport without pallets or packed on pallets.

Recommendations for the storage and transport of EUROPIR® thermal insulation caps:

  • handling, loading and unloading should be carried out manually in single packages,
  • packages delivered on pallets should be carried, loaded and unloaded using appropriate forklift trucks,
  • protect packages from damage, do not throw them,
  • store packaging with plugs in a dry place,
  • protect caps from weather conditions,
  • do not place heavy or sharp objects on the boxes that could damage them,
  • Dispose of packaging and damaged caps in accordance with local regulations.
  • after unpacking, protect the caps from UV radiation. Sunlight does not impair the technical parameters, but may cause the product to change colour.

Packaging

EUROPIR® CAPS (PIR discs) are typically packed in cardboard boxes measuring 350x300x200 mm.*

Implementation guidelines.

The installation of EUROPIR® CAPS involves cutting a hole approximately 15-20 mm deep (depending on the shape of the mechanical connector plate) in the insulation board using a special drill attachment. Then install the mechanical connector according to the supplier's or manufacturer's instructions. After installing the mechanical connector in the cut-out hole, press the cap into place with the flat side of a trowel so that the surface of the plate is flush with the surface of the PIR board.
At every stage of the work, protect the boards and end caps from UV rays. Sunlight does not impair the parameters of PIR foam products, but it does cause them to change colour. During work, use appropriate personal protective equipment and observe health and safety rules.
