ADAMS

FAQ - answers to frequently asked questions

Product description

What are ADAMS profiles made of?

ADAMS moulding profiles are made of elevated density polystyrene foam, reinforced with glass fibre net, coated with dry set mortar resistant to weather conditions.

How long are your strips?

Standard strip lengths are 1.2m and 2m.

Does the coating used provide sufficient protection from weather conditions?

Yes. The coating used fully protects the item from the adverse impact of weather conditions and mechanical damage.

Can your strips be used on insulated building walls?

In view of the low weight of ADAMS facade mouldings they can be used on polystyrene foam- or mineral wool-insulated walls but also conventional plasters.

Can you reconstruct existing architectural elements on facades?

Yes. We can reconstruct any pattern at customer’s request. To do that you need to provide the pattern of the strip existing on the facade or send a strip cross-section with detailed dimensions. This is particularly useful when renovating old tenement houses where it is necessary to supplement the existing mouldings with new of the same pattern.

What warranty do your products have?

Our products come with a 2-year warranty. Their actual durability is obviously much longer and reaches several tens of years.

What is the difference between your mouldings and those offered by your competitors?

  • Fully automated manufacturing process is a guarantee of uniform surface quality along the whole strip length (no porosity encountered with our competitors’ products).
  • We manufacture strips 1,2m and 2m in length (where the strips manufactured by our competitors are 1 m long), to minimize the joining operations. This reduces the installation time and consequently allows for lower installation costs.

Installation

During what stage of construction should your mouldings be installed?

It is recommended to install ADAMS exterior mouldings after the building has been insulated and the plaster putty has been spread over the mesh (for insulated buildings) but before application of texture plaster or facade paint.
Installation on a finished facade is a bit more laborious but still not too complicated.

Is the installation difficult?

No. According to our experience even a layman can perfectly fix our products after reading the installation instructions. Until installed the profiles should be stored on even surfaces in dry places not exposed to sunlight. It is recommended to carry out installation at 5-30°C.
