The Isotec thermal break is a reinforcement system with the main function of eliminating thermal bridges caused by structure elements overhanging reinforced concrete structures (balconies, cornices, canopies, etc.).
The Isotec break forms a load-bearing connecting element between concrete construction elements. The heart of the Isotec elements is made of an insulation board in PIR or mineral wool. The insulation board is crossed by stainless steel bars. This reinforcement is cast in the concrete on either side of the insulator, and therefore connects the two construction elements
The Isotec thermal break must always be planned at the beginning of a project to ensure the insulator remains continuous beside the corbels.
Benefits
Continuous stainless steel bars: 100% reliable in stainless steel over the entire length
When the balconies are stored vertically or stacked, there is no risk of rust stains on the architectonic elements
Using rock wool insulation ensures very high resistance to fire
Isotec transmits the loads from overhanging elements such as balconies, cornices, acroterions, etc.
Isotec was designed to withstand shearing and
or flexion loads
Therefore any traditional project can be performed with an Isotec element
Reinforced with stainless steel mounting plates ensuring high robustness during transport and fitting on the worksite
