Manufactured Structural Thermal Break Element
Schöck
Isokorb is an off-the-shelf solution to thermal bridging in the building envelope. The product is a load-bearing and thermal-insulating element for connecting cantilevers, such as balconies and canopies which penetrate a building’s exterior, offers the following advantages:
• Reduced risk of damages from condensation and mold,
• Energy savings and less operating costs from space heating,
• Contribution towards sustainable building practices and LEED® accreditation,
• Improvement in living comfort from warmer surface temperatures
Forming a thermal break in the building envelope with Isokorb also ensures full structural integrity. Specifically, the product reduces heat transfer through the building envelope, and therefore provides a higher interior temperature. This innovative approach to thermal break technology saves energy consumption,, prevents the formation of condensation and mold, and increases comfort, e g. near the balcony.
