40 years of Isokorb – Simply the original
Baden-Baden, April 2023. - In April 2023, Schöck Isokorb is celebrating its 40th anniversary. In 1983, Eberhard Schöck – founder of the company of the same name – revolutionised the building industry with his invention for minimising thermal bridges on cantilevered structural components. Isokorb set new standards. Eberhard Schöck’s vision of “making building easier” is embedded in everything the company does. With this goal in mind, Schöck continuously develops innovative technologies. When it comes to simple, energy-efficient and safe connection of cantilevered structural components to buildings, Isokorb is therefore still state-of-the-art even today.
The load-bearing thermal insulation element is unique in the industry in terms of building physics, cost-effectiveness and design. “The invention of the Schöck Isokorb was one of the most important milestones in the history of our company. It is just as innovative today as it was then, and exemplifies the standards we set for the development of our entire product range: forward-looking construction, better environmental compatibility, greater safety, ease of use and the resulting cost-effectiveness,” says Mike Bucher, CEO of Schöck AG.
Schöck Isokorb – a structural component for (almost) every application
Since 1983, Schöck has been marketing a broad, highly specialised portfolio for a wide variety of applications in new construction and renovation. In dialogue with experts, partners and customers, the company continually incorporates new ideas into product development in order to adapt Isokorb even better to market requirements. There is no such thing as the one Isokorb.
Instead, Schöck has developed thousands of versions over the past 40 years: from standard applications for cantilevered or supported balconies, parapets, loggias, arcades or balconies with height offsets, through to individual and demanding installation situations with unusual geometries and applications in timber construction.
Schöck's goal is always to offer the simplest and best solution for any given requirements. In addition to comprehensive know-how transfer, detailed technical information and digital services, this includes a knowledgeable and personal consulting and service team consisting of product engineers, technical design engineers and installation experts.
For its anniversary year, Schöck is offering new solutions to meet the growing demands for impact sound reduction, earthquake-resistant design and the vibration behaviour of balconies.
