Advantages

Sconnex® type P is a load-bearing thermal insulation element for reinforced concrete columns which insulates directly in the structural component (column). The thermal insulation element has a lightweight concrete load-bearing structure whose special characteristics significantly inhibit the heat flow rate. 

  • Higher thermal performance

    Sconnex® type P has extremely effective insulating properties, which means that flank insulation can be omitted whilst increasing building-physics quality.

     

  • Protection against structural damage 
    High wall surface temperatures protect against condensation and mould

     

  • High-quality appearance

    Slender columns can be achieved by omitting  visually unappealing costly flank insulation; columns can have a fairfaced concrete finish

     

  • Wide range of potential applications

    Sconnex® can be installed at the column head (type P-O) and column base (type P-U). Option of using the product with a column depth/width ratio of 2:1 means more flexibility when planning reinforced concrete columns.

     

  • Sustainability
    Supports sustainable building concepts with detailed solutions that are sparing on resources.

     

  • Product diversity
    Sconnex® type P is available in the widths 250, 300, 350 and 400 mm.

     

  • Passive House component
    Certified by Passive House Institute in Darmstadt

     

  • Fewer maintenance and refurbishment costs
    Lower maintenance costs with maintenance-free connections and by avoiding subsequent costs associated with repairing structural damage and defects.
