Roughly 40% of all structural thermal bridges in a building are located at wall and column connections. These bridges are responsible for about 10% of thermal energy losses.
Schöck is also transferring its expertise in thermal insulation of balconies to walls and columns in its new Sconnex® product family. A consistent further development of the successful technology used to minimize thermal bridges, Schöck Sconnex® connectors are milestones for energy-efficient construction and the concept of sustainable buildings.
New developments that bring tangible benefits
Schöck Sconnex® P-type, W-type and M-type can be used for direct and permanent thermal insulation of building elements, especially thermally exposed walls and columns - located in wet rooms, at façade projections, loggias, terraces, arcades and other elements of architectural design. With Schöck Sconnex®, thermal bridges that could not previously be avoided can be effectively insulated. Sconnex® is an effective, elegant and visually appealing solution that provides reliable protection against damage to building structural elements caused by condensation and mold.
