   EnergyEdge System Description

 

 Primary Use:  "FORM with FUNCTION".  EnergyEdge high performance slab edge systems protect, finish, & insulate the exterior face of the slab.  This product supports the intent of current energy codes and promote sustainable building design.

Composition:  An EnergyEdge rail (EE8fb or EE8mb) containing insulation & the universal EnergyEdge brace.  Optional features of the EnergyEdge system include a 90o corner connector & a 45o connector.

 General uses: EnergyEdge systems are compatible with multiple building systems & slab placement techniques.  They replace 2x8 forms and can be internally supported by the EnergyEdge braces or externally supported by other systems.

 EnergyEdge Rail Description

 

EnergyEdge 8" Frame Building Rail (EE8fb) :

Primary use: Form, insulate & finish perimeter slab edge for general construction

Standard size 8" tall, 2-3/4" wide, 12' long

Approximate weight: 14 lbs (including insulation)

Composition: PVC channel containing rigid insulation

Color: Concrete Gray, can be finished

Special features:   Profile provides full rigid insulation coverage from the top to bottom of an 8" slab edge. This profile is useful for typical 2X6 wood & metal framing plate, ICF & CMU Block Systems, etc.

 

EnergyEdge 8" Metal Building Rail (EE8mb):

Primary Use:  Form, insulate, & finish perimeter slab edge for metal building systems & structural wall systems requiring full bearing at top of slab.  Also provides flashing offset.

Standard Size: 8" tall, 2 3/4" bottom flange, 11/4" exposed top flange, providing at 11/2"X 11/2" reveal at slab edge, 12' long

Approximate weight: 13lbs (with insulation)

Composition: PVC channel with rigid insulation

Color: Concrete Gray; can be finished

Special feature:  Profile provides rigid insulation to the slab edge while providing a multipurpose offset.  Interfaces with metal building systems, 2X4 wood and metal framing plate, exterior finishes with weeping elements, etc.

TOP  Brace Description
 

EE8sb   Universal Brace (EE8sb):

Primary use:  Join and support EnergyEdge rails.

Standard size:  8" tall, 3-3/4"deep, 2" wide.

Standard weight: 0.3lbs each

Composition: Reclaimed, extruded, PVC

Color: Black

Special features: EE brace easily snaps into EE rail clipping channel at job site.  As an internal bracing system, the EE brace provides complete support to the EE rail and steel reinforcing systems.  When used with external supports, braces function as anchors into the concrete.

 Connector Descriptions

 

EnergyEdge 8" Connectors (EE890 & EE845)

Primary use:  Join & form inside & outside 90o corners & 45o angles (EE8fb rails).

Approximate Weight: 0.7lbs

Composition: PVC

Color: Concrete Gray, can be finished

Special Feature:  Optional Element.

Quicken installation by eliminating field cuts.
