'Construction products' Construmat Awards

This category was subdivided into three: constructive processes, structures and cladding products and products for insulation and coating facilities, which were presented a total of 54 products.

In the first subcategory, 'Construction processes', the jury failed to the platform Fipro, Layher, please "for his contribution in the" improvement of working conditions in the work; its lightness regarding other conventional materials improves the handling and the transport, at the same time reducing Assembly time and "breakdown". With non-slip surface, is made with plastic reinforced with fiberglass, with the feature that allows repair of small cracks produced by bumps, etc. In addition, it is resistant to UV, recyclable and with a payload of 200 kg per square metre.

For its part, GlassBudy, Maquimetal, S.A., Bohle Ibérica, managed to mention "for innovation as a tool for precision in laser technology for the analysis of flat glass to determine the energy characteristics of buildings before the need to know the elements of our environment."

Also, Encofrados j. Alsina, S.A. and fasteners Industrial, S.A.; Turnasure, obtained both diplomas. In the first case, with a pilot study of the evolution of charges on props and forged during the construction of buildings with successive slabs by the partial removal, "in recognition of research work, which has allowed to develop a methodology based on technical concepts of the partial removal in the usual constructive typology".

For its part, fasteners Industrial SA; Turnasure, achieved the diploma by Turnanut, a system which "allows you to simplify and reduce the time of Assembly between the screw and washer, and by the direct indicator of tension, which can guarantee the proper tensioning with a smaller pair of tightening."

With regard to the subcategory of 'Products for structures and enclosures', the Omega Zeta, Circa panel, he earned the highest rating. It's an innovative modular panel for architectural projects, as well as functionality and design, seeking maximum strength, sustainability and compatibility with any type of structural system.

The jury appreciated this panel "as an open system of industrial enclosure's facade that allows a high-quality finishes and a design of panels made to measure." "By providing technology to achieve large formats with a few minimum thicknesses".

For its part, the structural panels in a contralaminada way of KLH Massivholz obtained a mention within this subcategory, "to ensure, thanks to the crossing of fibers and the system of gluing, conditions and stable behaviour in great extent formats." "By its low weight, which makes it suitable for rehabilitation work and gives it an important potential", while the revolving restaurant in Pellicer Technology ("to be a constructive system of drawing developed platform that optimally solves an almost imperceptible movement")(", with a consumption low, facilitating the transport and the Assembly") and the system Fixscreen, Renson Sun Protection NV; ASK Systems ("for being a simple system of sunscreen which solves optimally standard systems to fixing problems, since it offers high performance wind resistance and control of brightness"), succeeded in their respective diplomas.

Finally, in the subcategory of 'Products for insulation and cladding and installations', Eco by Cosentino managed the Construmat Award, "for its commitment for sustainability, with the addition of 75% of recycled raw and 25% of natural origin." "It has high mechanical performance that guarantee its functionality and design of quality to meet the demands of the market".

ECHO is a new and revolutionary material composed of recycled materials, including porcelain, glass, mirrors, or the vitrificadas ashes by 75%. This material, developed by the Department's r & d Cosentino, manages to unify the high design and set of features and properties with an ecological and sustainable component on a surface of decoration. In addition, it is highly resistant to stains, scratching and heat. This, with much less impact and damage to the environment.

With regard to the mention, Construmat fell to the Max range of Actis, "for being a product of the insulation with a new system of overlap that regulates the degree of humidity in a natural way and guarantees impermeability to air and water"as well as its durability. "By the addition of an organic and natural product such as sheep's wool", and in the cement TX Aria of Fym - financial society and mining, "for the contribution that incorporate technology of catalytic principle to cement that reduces polluting substances in the air both actively as a passive"", as well as its versatility of application".

Also, the photovoltaic façade of Sto ("by the integration of elements of solar collection in the front ventilated with photovoltaic panels, as well as its aesthetic possibilities") and the Stuc-O-Flex, Stucco & Construction Materials, ("for benefits as a breathable and waterproofing membrane")(", as well as elastic characteristics with a high durability and resistance to environmental impact"), made two separate diplomas.
