Abstract: A building facade consisting of a building wall, an insulating layer comprising insulating elements, having a surface and disposed on the building wall, a facade cladding which is disposed at a distance from the building wall and from the insulating layer to form a rearventilation gap between insulating layer and facade cladding and a lock element provided for fire protection, which is disposed between neighboring insulating elements of the insulating layer. In order to further develop a building facade in such a manner that it can be manufactured simply and therefore cost-effectively without additional structural elements being provided, the invention proposes a generic building facade where the lock element is formed in one piece from fiber material, extends over the surface of the insulating layer in the direction of the facade cladding and exhibits a compressibility and/or flexibility aligned at least predominantly between building wall and facade cladding.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat insulation element for insulating building facades, in particular for heat insulation composite systems, composed of a heat insulating board and a reinforcement mesh that can be penetrated by fastening elements, in particular plugs, wherein the reinforcement mesh is placed in the area of a large surface of the heat insulating board. It is the object of the invention to avoid the disadvantages of the state of the art and in particular to provide a heat insulation element which even in case of high tightening torques of the fastening elements does not excessively tends to be deformed into the direction of the building facade. This aim is achieved by a heat insulation element according to the invention, in which the reinforcement mesh is arranged as a component of an abutment at a distance to the surface of the heat insulating board and in which the reinforcement mesh comprises a surface area which is smaller than the area of the surface of the heat insulating board.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing an insulating material element and an insulating material element. In order to provide a method for producing an insulating material element by which a very resistant insulating material element can be made that is able to insulate a flat building surface very effectively against heat and/or sound, the invention proposes that the insulating material element (2) be bent such that a surface segment of the first large surface forms at least one surface segment of the side surfaces running parallel to the recess in said area, and is substantially flush to the second large surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for producing a molded part that is preferably configured as a heat insulating and/or sound absorbing element, particularly a press-molded part made of mineral fibers, for example stone and/or glass fibers. The invention further relates to a molded part as a heat insulating and/or sound absorbing element, particularly as a lining part in vehicle construction, produced using a generic method, made of mineral fibers, particularly stone and/or glass fibers.

Abstract: The invention relates to an under rafters insulation system for a steep roof, comprising at least two mutually parallel extending building elements (3) which are spaced from each other, and insulation elements (4), in particular mineral fiber insulation elements, are arranged in a space between the building elements (3). The building elements (3) are mountable to rafters (2) of the steep roof by means of holding elements (5). For further developing an under rafters insulation system of the described type to the effect that the insulation elements (4) are easily supported between the building elements (3) at least over a period of time in which the under rafters insulation system (1) is not yet completed with a final cover, it is proposed that the holding elements (5) additionally secure the insulation elements (4) against falling out of the space between the building elements (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to an insulation panel (6) for a sloping roof system, comprising an insulation body having a planar base and a surface as well as lateral surfaces (14) connecting the base to the surface, wherein the base is directed anti-parallel with respect to the surface, so that the surface is at least inclined with respect to the base, wherein the insulation body is designed in a sandwich fashion and includes at least a first layer (11) having heat and/or sound insulation properties, particularly from mineral wool, preferably from rock wool.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wall passage opening for passing a conduit through a through-penetration defining at least one reveal, of a building with a substantially vertical or horizontal orientation, wherein the conduit is covered with an insulation material (10) comprising an insulation shell (16), at least in the region of the passage opening, the diameter of the insulation element substantially corresponding to the inner diameter of the passage opening, wherein the insulation shell (16) includes a cavity for accommodating a conduit section (22) having an enlarged outer diameter and wherein the insulation shell (16) is made of mineral fibers, to accommodate the conduit section (22) having the enlarged outer diameter in a quick and easy manner.
