- ADVANTAGES OF THE QUATTRO SYSTEM
Damaging is mostly due to transport, handling and mounting of the insulating boards.
QUATTRO is provided with solid borders, able to stand rough handling.
Mice, rats, birds and beetles cannot be avoided around stables, but they do have a natural aversion from draught. The QUATTRO SYSTEM causes a situation in which these little animals no longer can find a draughtfree place between roof and insulation material, and thus no longer are encouraged to build their nests there.
They also search the easiest way to get in. Therefore, soft materials become their first victims. With the QUATTRO execution, the foam can hardly nowhere directly be reached. The matching U-profile also makes the insulating board's extremities and wall connections inaccessible for unwanted visitors.
When stables are ventilated with air conditioning techniques, back pressure is sometimes used. In these cases, the PROFISOL profile prevents 'false' air to be sucked in through the insulation connections.
The same clip function limits the bleeding of possible drain water through the board connections.

The system consists in two elements:
EUROTHANE QUATTRO ou POWERLINE and PROFISOL the connection system.
- EUROTHANE 'QUATTRO' or POWERLINE
Just as EUROTHANE AL or POWERLINE is provided on both sides with a straw coloured aluminium laminate, the QUATTRO design now also is continuously covered at the edges.
Thus, the polyurethane foam only is visible at the two cross section extremities of the insulating board.
The QUATTRO design allows the full use of the effective width (1225 mm).
QUATTRO is available in 4 thicknesses: 30, 40, 50 and 60 mm.
The PROFISOL profile is made out of PVC plastic
The colour is similar to that of the QUATTRO insulation.
The PROFISOL H-profile is provided with 2 flexible lips (see cross-section) for a perfect clamping of the QUATTRO insulating board. A PROFISOL U-profile is also available for wall connections and the finish of insulating boards extremities.
The profile ensures:
- a fast and easy fixing of the ceiling insulation
- a perfect connection of insulation
- a windproof (draughtproof) sealing of the seams
- a hygienic and decorative finish of the seams.

The PROFISOL suspension bracket is made out of Aluzinc.
This bracket is fastened to the bearers with stainless steel nails. The maximum bearer distance depends on the used thickness and the upper load. In case of a board with a thickness of 30 mm, the maximum distance is 1350 mm.
The suspension bracket ensures:
- the fastening of the profile to the bearers ( min. 1 per bearer).
- the maintenance of a ventilation gap between insulation and bearers.
The standard height of the suspension bracket is 70 mm, enabling a broad ventilation gap of 2 to 3 cm.
In certain constructions, steel frame is higher than the bearers, which makes a continuous insulation ceiling difficult or impossible. Here, suspension brackets are used with a height of 200 mm, enabling in most cases continuous insulation under the steel frame.
