In 2021, the building products manufacturer can once again look forward to three awards: gold for the load-bearing thermal insulation element Schöck Isokorb in the category "Balconies/Loggias/Terraces", silver for the impact sound insulation system Tronsole in the category "Soundproofing" and silver again for Sconnex, the new product family for the thermal separation of walls and columns as "Best Product Innovation (Shell Construction)". The Architects' Darling Awards ceremony took place on November 9, 2021, as part of the “Celle Werktage”. Around 1,800 architects and planners took part in the largest industry survey in Germany to choose their favorites. Once again, Schöck Bauteile GmbH was able to assert itself as one of the most innovative companies in the industry with its specific solutions. "The triple award of the Architects' Darling 2021 with gold and twice silver in different product categories shows that we can convince with our products.

We are pleased and proud of the success of our Isokorb, Tronsole and Sconnex product families," says Mike Bucher, CEO of Schöck AG. Architects' Darling 2021 honors the best in the industry The German largest survey, conducted for the eleventh year in a row by architects' portal Heinze, focuses on special products, ideas and solutions. Renowned experts from architecture, planning and architectural communication examine the manufacturers of the construction industry and deal critically assess their product ranges, appearance and portfolios. Winning the Architects' Darling Award is also confirmation for the award-winning manufacturers that they are an ideal partner for the most important decision-makers in the construction sector and are among the most sought-after suppliers in Germany. www.schoeck.com Info box As part of the thermal insulation, the Schöck Isokorb minimizes thermal bridges when connecting cantilevered building components such as balconies, parapets or access balconies and is at the same time part of the structural design. This means that heat losses are effectively reduced and structural damage avoided. With the Schöck Sconnex thermal insulation element for the connection of walls and columns Schöck closes the last major thermal bridge on buildings. For the first time, the thermal insulation level can be designed without interruption. Since it eliminates the need for otherwise usual flank insulation, constructions in architectural exposed concrete are made possible. The impact sound insulation system Schöck Tronsole reliably ensures effective and continuous impact sound insulation in staircases. For the first time, filigree precast landings can be designed thanks to the innovative new Tronsole type P, optionally in exposed concrete and with architectural accents.
