Installation of the cornice cover – quick and without welding

Complex preparatory work on site in terms of planning, measuring and fabrication is not required. With the P 500 pillar recess from BUG, welding and grinding are not required. Thanks to the clip-in system of the P 500 pillar recess, no time-consuming preparatory work is required. This results in precise facade finishes that provide water tightness under heavy rain and are ready for plastering.

Tender documents are also available to help with efficient planning and execution. These provide reliable information and ensure consistency across planning, tendering and implementation. 

Save time on the construction site

There are no long wait times for the surface coating. Unscheduled installation tolerances can be compensated for quickly and easily using the window sill pillar recess. Necessary adjustments can be made immediately depending on the situation on the construction site. The plaster element is cut to size directly on site using any standard circular saw.

The wide plaster edge creates a perfect plaster connection with the BUG window sill pillar recess P 500. With the P 500, there is no longer any time pressure caused by long delivery times for welded structures. The straightforward execution of each construction phase, from installing the pillar recess for window sills to plastering, makes the P 500 an attractive practical solution.

Butt connectors

A combination of butt connector and pillar recess for window sills, the P 500 pillar recess provides a tested solution that is permanently watertight under heavy rain.
