Sconnex®
type W

Approval

General technical approval for Sconnex® type W-N and W-N-VH. When transmitting tensile forces, only use following clarification with the structural engineer or by obtaining consent in individual cases.

Advantages

Sconnex® type W is a load-bearing thermal insulation element for reinforced concrete walls which is designed to be installed directly in the structural component (wall). The load transmission can be controlled to optimum effect by adjusting the element spacing and selecting the right type variants. Can be used with insulation on underside or top side of the floor slab. 

  • Improved energy efficiency
    Reduction of thermal bridges at reinforced concrete walls and therefore increase in overall energy efficiency of the building; no flank insulation required

     

  • Healthy indoor climate
    High wall surface temperatures protect against condensation and mould.

     

  • Improved visual appearance

    Slender walls without change of material; walls can be manufactured in exposed concrete

     

  • Greater planning reliability
    The continuous insulation plane reduces the likelihood of planning and construction errors.

     

  • Avoid maintenance and refurbishment costs
    Lower maintenance costs due to maintenance-free connections and by avoiding subsequent costs of repairing structural damage and defects

     

  • Passive House component
    Certified by Passive House Institute in Darmstadt

     

  • More planning flexibility

    Complex building geometries can be implemented more easily.
