Structural stability of the Egcobox is provided by a framework of steel reinforcement passing through the 60 to 80 mm thick thermal insulation material. This ensures that the complete structural component (e.g. a balcony) is fully integrated into the building frame.
A distinctive feature of this system is the use of continuous reinforcement without a welded joint. A Stainless Steel sleeve is placed over the Rebar in the component joint area where corrosion protection is required. The annular gap between the sleeve and the rebar is then injected with an epoxy resin to provide a corrosion proof joint. With its continuous rebars, Egcobox has significant benefits over conventional systems:
Consistent material properties of the reinforcement between the two components to be joined.
Reduced vertical deflection of the cantilever.
Please note that these product properties are not a replacement for the manufacturer's literature and it is always recommended that Max Frank is consulted before specifying.
