A durable and thoughtful prefabricated application

Imagine a construction process that is not only faster and more efficient, but also contributes to a more sustainable world. The Celdex Seal4Prefab sealing system makes this possible.

"By applying the air and water seal already in the factory to the precast façade elements, such as concrete sandwich panels and HSB elements, we ensure a smoothly running precast construction process with numerous advantages," says Ruud Robbe, Sales Manager Airtight Construction/Highrise at Celdex. "From a technical point of view, this sealing system offers precision and control. In the various production facilities, we work under ideal climate and working conditions that allow us to apply the seal perfectly. Thus, we reduce material waste and guarantee consistently high quality. This translates into fewer errors, less repair work and a better end result."

Taking construction to the next level

Precast delivery of fully sealed elements minimizes transport movements and significantly reduces construction times, Robbe summarizes. "This means less labor, less use of diesel-powered boom lifts and more efficient use of machinery on the construction site. The result is lower costs as well as a positive contribution to making the construction industry more sustainable." But Celdex is looking beyond that. "From a production technical point of view, we do everything possible to make our high-quality foam products as sustainable as possible. We minimize waste streams during the production process and choose base materials that are recyclable whenever possible. Moreover, our Seal4Prefab concept supports circular construction methods by specific material use and by reducing transport and energy requirements. Seal4Prefab is thus the solution for everyone who wants to combine efficiency with a smaller ecological footprint and future-oriented construction practices." 

The benefits in a nutshell:

- Logistical-technical: fewer transport movements, as the seal is already applied in the factory. This contributes to a lower ecological footprint.

- Planned: a controlled production process and directed application process prevent waste of materials and minimize waste.

- Labor-wise: fewer personnel on the construction site means less use of diesel-powered aerial work platforms and energy-demanding tools, lowering CO2 emissions.

- Saving time: faster work methods reduce construction time, which also reduces energy consumption at the construction site.

- Easy application: Celdex provides complete working instructions, making the application of sealing products very efficient and clear and minimizing errors.
