Avoiding cold bridging in balconies
Halfen, leaders in construction fixing technology, are offering a new CPD seminar called 'Concrete Balconies and Thermal Bridging'.
Bringing together all the currently available information on the subject, the White Paper tells the development of balconies and underlines the need for insulated connections to avoid the condensation, mould growth and deterioration that can result from cold bridging.
Methods of testing thermal performance are outlined, and other considerations in the design of balconies are detailed.
The HIT system - an insulated balcony connection that enables concrete cantilever balconies to be constructed whilst virtually eliminating thermal transfer - is then described and illustrated.
The illustrations include some of the many typical balcony options possible.
Copies of the White Paper: Balconies and Thermal Bridging are available on request. Request a free brochure from Halfen ...
