Insulation Process |
| 
|
|
 
|
1. Insulation is
notched to accept foam & tie retainer. The
notches can be placed at the WTF Plant or can
be created by contractor utilizing WTF foam fixture
and hot knife. Notch is only required on one side
of foam. |
2.
Insulation is begun at the corner utilizing the
WTF F-Section. |
| |
|
|
| 3.
Outside concrete form is put into place. |
4. The WTF Foam & Tie Retainers fit over
the foam and match corresponding pinhole.
|
| |
|
|
| 5.
The next piece of insulation is then placed using
the notches to accommodate the WTF Foam &
Tie Retainer. |
6. The process is then continued throughout
the wall. Fillers will need to be sized for
appropriate locations and "T" walls.
Once the setting is complete, concrete can be
placed.
|
| |
| 7.
Following concrete placement and concrete form
removal, the ties are broken downward using the
WTF Tie Breaker Bar. The WTF tie used in the system
is designed to break two inches. This eliminates
the possibility of thermal bridging once the tie
is broken and retainer is sealed. |
| |
| 8.
Once the concrete work is complete, the F, I and
T Sections along with the Foam & Tie Retainer
are utilized as attaching points for various external
finishes. |
