From Spring 2010, the tried and trusted Schöck Isokorb® thermal break system, designed to prevent thermal bridging at balcony and other critical cantilever connections, is more effective than ever. This is due to a combination of more thermally efficient materials and an increase in thickness to 80mm.
There is a high thermal efficiency (HTE) compression module at the heart of the Isokorb®. This now incorporates a new material made of a steel fibre reinforced ultra high-performance concrete (UHPC), plus the additive Kronolith®, a titanium iron ore with a nominal thermal conductivity. The combination results in thermal conductivity being reduced by a good 40 percent compared to the existing HTE module. Added to this, there is also a change of (EPS) polystyrene to the highly efficient Neopor® from BASF, which has the effect of improving the overall performance of the Isokorb® by 20 percent.
