Balconies and cantilever construction elements are responsible for such significant amounts of energy and heat loss from a building. The Schöck Isokorb thermal break element is said to be an effective counter measure for this. The product dramatically reduces thermal energy in critical union connective areas, such as balconies, canopies and other cantilever parts of the building by as much as 84% to 91%. The Isokorb also transfers load and maintains full structural integrity, while at the same time enabling inner surface area temperatures to remain well in excess of those likely to cause mould formation.

To counter energy and heat loss from a building, Schöck Isokorb thermal break modules have been installed in two developments near Portsmouth. The products guarantee the homogeneity between cantilever structures and the internal floor.

Aimed at trying to help prevent thermal bridging at balcony constructions, Sch?ck's Isokorb thermal break range comprises, the company says, innovative, high performance thermal break modules designed to help architects, designers, structural engineers and contractors meet the Building Regulations Part L. The modules can help dramatically reduce thermal energy loss in connective areas because of their thermal insulation properties, they added. They 'guarantee' the homogeneity of thermal envelop between cantilever structures and the internal floor. However, 'they also transfer load and maintain full structural integrity while enabling inner surface areas temperatures to remain well in excess of those likely to cause mould formation and condensation'.

Intended to help reduce the loss of energy and heat from balconies and cantilever construction elements, the new Schock thermal break element is an "innovative, high performance" compression module, designed to help architects, designers, structural engineers and contractors meet Building Regulations Part L. The module ? known as Isokorb across Europe where more than 8 million units are currently in use ? is an integral, load bearing part of the structure that insulates both internal and external components from each other, particularly eliminating heat loss and thermal bridging. It allows thermally efficient connections between concrete to concrete, to steel, and steel to steel and has already achieved BBA Certification for concrete to concrete and concrete to steel connection.

With a coastal environment and the thermal bridging problems of dampness and mould growth, Schock Isokorb was installed at Sovereign Harbour Yacht Club as a solution to such issues. Extensive balconies at the first and second floor have the thermal break modules incorporated, reducing heat loss and protecting the structure from corrosion.
