Thermal insulation must fulfil certain re-
quirements if a building is to comply
with the specifications of the new in-
sulating standards. Processing is a ma-
jor factor, in addition to the material,
quality and thickness of the thermal in-
sulation.
The procedure commonly used at
present for insulating floor plates is no
longer adequate; it is also very time-
consuming and therefore not cost ef-
ficient. The insulation is frequently laid
incorrectly, especially at the top ends
of floor plates. This results in thermal
bridges, which inevitably leads to com-
plaints, and labour-intensive and cost-
ly reworks.
Atlas
Thermal bridges are ruled out by the
system design of the JACKODUR Atlas
thermal insulation and formwork sys-
tem for floor plates. It is laid around the
perimeter beneath so-called load-bea-
ring bedplates. These structurally load-
bearing components absorb the natural
loads of the structure without the need
for additional foundations, and channel
them into the ground.
JACKODUR Atlas is available in thick-
nesses ranging from 100 to 320 mm.
As such, this cost-efficient joining sys-
tem provides insulation that is free of
thermal bridges and formwork for bed-
plates that are suitable for any type of
building.
Certified by Passivhaus Institut:
The quality requirements for a peri-
meter insulation system are particu-
larly demanding in passive houses. The
system must ensure U values ≤ 0.15
W/(m2 · K) and that the connections are
free of thermal bridges.
JACKODUR Atlas complies with these
requirements and has been certified
as a component that is suitable for use
in passive houses by Passivhaus Insti-
tut Darmstadt.

 Project report
The required number of system ele-
ments is determined on the basis of the
architect‘s plan. Once the planning is fi-
nalised, the installation of JACKODUR
Atlas can begin.
The JACKODUR Atlas system compri-
ses four different board elements. Ang-
An angle element is laid first, followed by the side elements.
4
le and side elements are fitted with a
groove, into which the tongue of the
formwork element is inserted. The sur-
face elements have a shiplap at the
edge, which makes it easy to lay them
as a flat surface.
PRO JEC T DETAILS
■ Insulating system: JACKODUR
Atlas
■ Surface area: 130 m
2
■ Insulation thickness: 100 mm
■ Installation time: approx.
three hours, three workers
Batter boards are used to align the system.
The formwork elements are simply slotted into the side elements.
The shiplaps ensure that the structure is free of thermal bridges.

NO THE RM AL BR IDGES
Thermal bridges are ruled out
over the entire floor plate by the
patent pending joining technolo-
gy of JACKODUR Atlas. And yet
the system is so easy to hand-
le that it can be laid very quickly
and perfect installation is
virtually guaranteed.

The basic framework is completed very quickly,

and the surface elements can then be laid.

 Project report

A hot wire cutter is used to cut the

JACKODUR Atlas elements to the right
size. It can equally be used to easily cut
shiplaps. A tiger or power saw can be
used to cut out recesses in the layer of
thermal insulation, e.g. for channelling
drainage pipes.

 COST EFF ICIEN C Y
The combination of thermal in-
sulation and formwork system
enables both to be completed in
a single step. There is no need to
remove the formwork. And this,
together with the convenient
joining technology means signi-
ficant time – and therefo-
re cost – savings.

JACKODUR surface elements must be laid in a bond to avoid cross joints.

The thermal insulation and formwork system is quickly laid.

The joint system eliminates the need to strip the formwork from the floor plate.
Additional protection is not needed.

 How to lay the individual elements

1. Start with a corner panel. 2. Then a side panel is attached.

3. The next side panel follows. 4. The surface panels follow.

5. The shuttering panel is put in the relevant groove. 6. Ensure that it is not laid staggered to the surface panel.

7. The elements are really easy to cut with a hot wire cutter. You 8. Once you have finished, lay a PE film on top

 Atlas complete system
JACKODUR Atlas can also be manufactured as a complete
system instead of the building site solution where the indivi-
dual elements still have to be cut to size.

JACKODUR is manufactured to size, based on the architect‘s

specifications. The individual elements are systematically pa-
cked and delivered straight to the building site, together with
an installation plan.

The system is made to measure and only needs to be joined

together on the building site. There is no further need to cut
or adapt any of the elements, nor to strip the formwork or
provide side supports.
