Grip Fixing Instead of Adhesive - Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems(EIFS) as a Sorted Recyclable Facade System with Reclosable Fastener Fixation

摘要

The paper describes the project ifacade4zeroWaste which includes the development, architectural design relevance, grants of patents, results of pre-certification testing’s and the product publication in the time frame from 2009 till 2017. Aim of the research project ifacade4zeroWaste was the idea of a recyclable facade insulation system that can easily be dismantled after its lifetime and reused thanks to an innovative grip fixing system consisting of mushroom-shaped heads and loops - Grip fixing instead of adhesive. The project won numerous prices and awards like the iEQAR - Recycling Prize 2015 or the iInnovation Award for Architecture and Building i 2017. The project is a contract research project tasked byi Sto SE & Co. KGaA, Germany and iSto GesmbH , Austria. The façade system was presented to the public in January 2017 as the product iSto Systain R (iR = render: seamless plaster layer surface) on the building fair iBAU i20 i17 in Munich. *.
