Terrace of Kofinas

Scroll down

Kofinas’ terrace, certified for its insulating properties by PassivHaus, is manufactured using the latest, cutting-edge automatic CNC (sawing & nailing-framing) machines.

1 – OSB category 3
2 – Natural mineral wool ECOSE Technology® (category A1 non-combustible material) |
3 – Timber, Kiln dried, Eco-Friendly, C24 grade

Completing the tasks below will result in the sample form on the left.
This is indicative, as the terrace can be custromized to your preference, in this stage a “Non Walkable” Terrace, or in accordance with your engineer’s specifications.

From the KIT stage to its finalization, these tasks need to take place for a “Non Walkable” Terrace:

4. Bituminus Varnish
5. 1st Tarmac
6. 2nd Tarmac
7. Expanded polystyrene insulation EPS200
8. “GeoTextile”
9. Marbles
10. Gutter

11. Expanded polystyrene insulation EPS200
12. Vapor stop control layer
13. Gypsum board

1 – OSB

OSB 11.1 mm, category 3 waterproof with immense mechanical properties. This strengthens the construction and allow us to fasten any weight anywhere on the wall, without the use of special dowels.

2 – Natural mineral wool ECOSE Technology® (category A1 non-combustible material) | λ=0,035(W/mK)

The basic thermal insulation material of the frame. Natural mineral wool offers excellent thermal insulation, sound insulation and fire resistance (category A1 non-combustible materials). Raw materials for the production of mineral wool fiber are amphibolite, dolomite, or limestone and bauxite rocks. The production of mineral wool is done in an electric oven. This method has an advantage over the blast furnace method used so far, because it achieves spacial uniformity in the fibers produced through the constantly controlled melt temperature, also minimizing the enviromental impact.

3 – Timber

Kiln-dried, meaning the wood has a moisture content of 15%-16% (ideal for residential construction) and does not not contain any chemical treatments.
Eco-friendly, meaning the timber is free from chemical additives, and -as per the Swedish Wood Industry standards- contrubutes to the absorption of CO².
C24 grade, meaning it offers high mechanical strength and excellent structural performance.
