Sconnex®
type P

Load-bearing thermal insulation element for reinforced concrete columns. The element transfers primarily compressive forces.

Approval

General technical approval for individual application at the column head and base. For columns with square and rectangular sections with a depth/width ratio of 2:1.

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.
