5 THE FULL-RANGE SUPPLIER05 OUR PATENTED EFFICIENCY SYSTEM Why it is worth building a basement Space for supplies, technical equipment, hobbies or even a subtenant: a basement creates additional living space. But there are lots of other reasons as well: More space: A basement enlarges your usable living space quite considerably or can also serve as a place to store energy, such as oil tanks, wood pellets and photovoltaic batteries. More peace: A basement provides natural soundproofing and absorbs noise an invaluable benefit, particularly for terraced or semidetached houses. More value: A basement significantly increases the resale value of any property. MEA supplies a complete range of products when it comes to building basements and outdoor facilities. Our assortment includes light wells, casement windows, cellar doors, pipe openings, water protection products and drainage systems for home and garden. What sets us apart? Perfectly coordinated system solutions that help you build more quickly and efficiently. As market leader for light wells and casement windows, we make a point of designing innovative solutions that ideally combine efficiency with the highest quality standards. You benefit from the fact that our products are easier and quicker to install. They meet the highest possible standards of safety a fact proven by our many certificates and patents. Such as the patented MEAFIX insulation panel, specially designed for installing light wells without creating thermal bridges for fast, simple installation. In addition, you have the advantage of our tight network of sales partners and building material suppliers, ensuring quick delivery and expert advice when you really need it. Tested quality Our products meet DIBt requirements and are certified in accordance with: TÜV SÜD (ISO 9001 since 1990) ift Rosenheim CSTB kiwa building institute

6 INNOVATIONS INNOVATIVE POWER INSPIRES MANPOWER We are not satisfied with simply providing technically and functionally sophisticated solutions. The things that really count for us are innovative products that help make your work simpler, faster and more flexible which means you can produce perfect results in terms of quality and efficiency. And that s why we continually develop even more intelligently designed solutions. Two examples from our range of products: MEA Connect System: This modular principle is the all-in-one solution for the thermally insulated fitting of frames, window units, perimeter masking frames, installation insulation panels and light wells. The various components are perfectly coordinated with one another and that s why they re so quick and straightforward to install. Multi-material expertise: Only MEA gives you the choice between plastic and concrete. We produce low-priced plastic light wells made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) that are both quick and simple to install. However, if ground conditions make it necessary or if customised solutions are called for, we can also offer you light wells made of concrete. The MEA Connect-System

7 AREAS OF EXPERTISE07 SOLUTIONS FOR BOTH INDOORS AND OUTDOORS When building a house, efficient solutions are called for: solutions that help maintain the value of your property and make life more comfortable and that begins with the basement. Our products help channel both light and fresh air into your basement. They provide reliable protection from water and reduce the carbon footprint of the entire house. Allow us to explain our various areas of expertise: Solutions for the basement: Comfortable living, energy efficiency, protection from water Solutions for outdoors: Outbuildings, outdoor drainage

8 MORE THAN JUST A BASEMENT The basement is the place in your home where you can do as you please without disturbing anyone. The basement is no longer just a storage space, but can be developed to form a completely new world whether a simple hobby room for your model railway, a guest room, working space or a small apartment for your children. Our range of products transforms your basement into a pleasant place to be. Casement windows in state-of-the-art designs allow a maximum of daylight to stream into your basement. Basement ventilators automatically ensure sufficient fresh air and a good ambient climate. And a broad selection of gratings and covers keep your light wells free from grime and reduce cleaning work to a minimum. Light well covers are optionally available with integrated ventilation or as a glass cover to protect from building run-off.

9 COMFORTABLE LIVING09 Bright, well-ventilated basement rooms: Plastic and concrete light wells are available in various sizes and a range of bright colours. Ventilators for basements ensure a regular supply of fresh air. Burglary protection and sound insulation: Casement windows with safety glass provide reliable protection. Light wells can be additionally secured with solid security brackets for gratings. Clean light wells: Protective gratings made of stainless steel mesh or aluminium as well as glass covers protect light wells from leaves, dirt and small animals.

11 ENERGY EFFICIENCY11 Light well installation without measuring or drilling + Energy-saving regulations are becoming tighter, the electricity prices are rising building or modernising today confronts you with a growing number of challenges. Low-energy and passive houses are becoming increasingly popular. With our system solutions, energy-saving begins in the basement and increasingly strict energy efficiency requirements can be reliably met. + No thermal bridges + Available with special sealing for watertight installation MEAFIX installation insulation panel Installation without thermal bridges: Thanks to the MEAFIX insulation panel and high-quality XPS insulation material. Additional insulation for window perimeters: Our insulated perimeter masking frames prevent moisture from forming behind the insulation panel and improve the Psi value to W/(m 2 K). Improved isothermal characteristics: Specially designed MEA casement window systems enable windows to be positioned exactly in the insulation plane, with a heat transfer coefficient of Ug = 0.7 W/(m 2 K) in the insulation plane. Less energy consumption for heating: Our interchangeable frames for passive houses are equipped with triple-glazed windows.

12 STATE-OF-THE-ART SEALING The weather is often unpredictable and sudden storms or heavy rains are becoming more and more frequent. New building activity in your area can also have an uncertain impact on groundwater levels the ultimate test for basement windows and light wells. That s why it s absolutely essential to reliably protect your property from potential water damage when building or modernising. Specially designed AQUA solutions are called for as well as pipe openings capable of withstanding the water pressure. Watertight installation without measuring or drilling + Watertight installation without thermal bridges: confirmed by the independent kiwa building institute testing laboratory + + Reliable water drainage with the MEASTOP PRO drainage connection MEAFIX AQUA: watertight installation without thermal bridges MEADOC ground element: guides a watertight drainage pipe through the bases of concrete building components

13 PROTECTION FROM WATER13 AQUA light wells: Can be installed watertight with or without insulation panels Drainage connections with backflow prevention facility: The best way to hold back rising water from sewers and drains Pipe openings: Make it possible to penetrate concrete building components and still remain watertight Protection certified by specialists: Long-term expertise by the Materials Testing and Research Institute (MPA Karlsruhe): MEA MULTINORM AQUA plastic light wells are watertight in accordance with DIN standards. IFT Rosenheim: MEALUXIT AQUA casement windows have been tested for watertightness in accordance with FE-07/1 regulations.

14 OUTSTANDING SOLUTIONS FOR OUTBUILDINGS AND COURTYARDS Our wealth of experience in building basements has enabled us to develop smart solutions for the drainage of courtyards and buildings not used as living space. These include courtyard drainage systems, windows and doors for industrial buildings, side entrances, garages, commercial and agricultural buildings. Here we tackle challenges similar to those faced when building basements. Stables, for example: statutory regulations prescribe requirements such as energy standards or the amount of natural light required when keeping animals specific requirements that also call for equally specific solutions. For this reason, we not only supply a range of standard products, but also manufacture special solutions if needed.
