Steel in very well known for it's ability to conduct heat and sound and when a metal member is required to run from inside the building envelope through the insulation cavity and on to the outside of the building, it creates a pathway - a cold bridge, which is very efficient at conducting heat energy out of the building and conducting cold back into the building.

The satisfactory solution of breaking the thermal bridges and unwanted sound transition is now available!

Due to the efficiency of the ThermConx to halt heat energy transferring both ways, the problems of cold spots forming in the walls and ceiling of the building, immediately around where the members protrude through the insulated envelope, are not created.

The ThermConx can be used when ever there would have been a thermal bridge created, fixing back to the structure.

Examples:

Balconies Balustrades Roof gardens Canopies Rainwater stubs Signage Access ladders External stairs Internal stairwells
