OPTIMA System - Isover

Dealing with specific issues
Integrating ducts
Standard electrical appliances, home automation and multimedia have led to an increasing in cabling
and ducting that need to be included in buildings (Picture 1).
The OPTIMA System allows the integration of such networks in the lining without compromising
insulation. They are run between ISOVER glass wool and plaster boards. VARIO MultiTape SL is used
to ensure breakout points are both vapour and air tight.
The OPTIMA Connector
This accessory is used to construct
T-joints between OPTIMA transverse and
perpendicular studs, for instance to accommodate
a window frame (Picture 2).
Window sill
The position of the windows has to be taken into account. If it is in the inner surface of the wall,
the length of OPTIMA2 Supports are chosen according to the depth of the window sill.
Humid rooms
In humid rooms (bathroom, garage, non-heated basement), plaster board facings have to be waterrepellent.
Irrespective of whether the floor is rough or finished, an impregnated foam strip needs to
be installed as a central joint (Picture 5 point A) between the bottom wall plate and floor.
Installations on rough floors require additional protection in the form of a polyethylene film overlapping
the floor by at least 2 cm (Picture 5 point B).
