  • Instead of a cast-in-place concrete foundation, it may be sensible to replace it with this construction method. This construction method has the advantage over a cast-in-place concrete foundation that less concrete is required and, particularly in planting areas, more net area remains for soil and thus the space available for plants.

    FORMULATION? DOES A HIGH CURB MAKE ANY SENSE?

    • Work steps are partly the same as for cast-in-place concrete foundations.
    • Width: 60 cm or 100 cm (at the base)
    • Work steps for gluing in reinforcement connections are the same as for the Kanfanar natural stone base, also with regard to the quantity of adhesive anchors: it says “Describe the process of how the connection reinforcement is glued in.
    • More space for plants on the KNUMOX element
    • Drainage and water runoff must also be ensured!
    • Occupational safety regulations must be observed.
    • Concrete wedge as an alternative to the reinforcement connection possible! (yellow)

Installation of the KNUMOX aluminum block

Align the aluminum block on the high curbstone and place it in the desired alignment. The holes in the aluminum block are pre-determined; mark the holes on the high curbstone. The aluminum block, with the pre-determined holes, serves as a template.

1. Drill holes with a drill (masonry drill for concrete) with a diameter of 10 mm, approx. 105 mm deep.

2. Blow out/vacuum and clean the holes using an industrial vacuum cleaner or a blower. Then replace the aluminum block.

3. Hammer in the fixing anchor so that there is about 10-20 mm left at the top for screwing.

4. Tighten the hexagon nuts to 25 Nm using a torque wrench.
Note: the aluminum block must lie flat.

Inserting the KNUMOX glass element

Before inserting the glass element, the following steps must be carried out:

5. Insert the rubber seal (flat, finely grooved) flush into the prefabricated groove of the aluminum block.

6. Insert the element shoes into the aluminum block. Distribute these evenly over the appropriate length. Then carefully insert the glass element into the aluminum block (on the white “shoes”) and hold it.

7. Insert the opposite side with the smooth side facing the glass. Then press this firmly in using a tool (flat screwdriver) such as the Knumox insertion tool, so that the glass element is firmly seated, at least deep enough for the rubber to fit over it later.

8. Insert the remaining rubber lip and press it in firmly.
