ISOVER Optima Extension Channels

The standard elements that make up the Optima frame ensure the system is both mechanically stable and economical. The structure can be adapted to fit virtually every building type, regardless of any discrepancies in the existing wall surfaces. For the facing support, the OPTIMA C-channel (a 2.40m metal stud) together with Optima 500 extension pieces can be used to extend or adjust to the required height.

A problem typical of older Irish houses is ever-increasing heating costs without corresponding increases in temperature and comfort. Insulation was not a priority years ago and efficient thermal insulation materials were not readily available. We are all aware that today’s building standards don’t accept such inadequacy in insulation – and in the future they will be even less tolerant. Modern techniques and products have been developed that eliminate drafts and ensure comfortable internal conditions. But what if you have an older home? Older houses are considerably less energy-efficient, wasting heat year-round through poorly insulated walls and rarely achieving sufficient warmth in the winter. That’s why we’ve developed Optima.
