Schöck wins Architects’ Darling award

Baden-Baden, in November 22 – Schöck on the winner’s podium at the Architects’ Darling Award for the seventh time in a row: The building products manufacturer was awarded the coveted gold trophy in the “Stairs” category at this year’s ceremony for its Tronsole impact sound insulation element. The winners of the Architects’ Darling Award 2022 were announced on 9 November at a gala ceremony as part of the “Celler Werktage”.

Around 1,800 experts from the fields of architecture and planning took part in Germany’s largest multimedia industry survey and voted for their “construction industry darlings”. Heinze GmbH has been honouring products and services in the construction industry with the brand award since 2011. Along with 170 other manufacturers, Schöck faced the industry’s jury and was able to convince across the board in the criteria of product quality, price-performance ratio and innovation: top place and thus the gold award went to Tronsole. After gold in 2020 and silver in 2021, the impact sound insulation element is thus one of the most popular products in the construction industry again in 2022.

Inventive spirit belongs to the “Schöck DNA” 

The award has a special significance for Schöck. “The award is a direct assessment of whether the product meets the needs and requirements of architects and planners,” explains Mike Bucher, CEO of Schöck AG. “We are therefore all the more pleased that one of our products has won the Architects’ Darling award again this year. This not only makes us proud, but also spurs us on to continue working on innovative solutions for the construction industry.”

Rely on the blue line for peace and quiet in the stairwell

Since 1985, the Tronsole impact sound insulation element has been providing reliable impact sound insulation and an acoustic bridge-free design for staircases with high living quality. Planned and installed as a system, the Schöck Tronsole creates a blue line – the quality feature for very good sound insulation and quietness in the stairwell. The pioneering spirit of continuously developing products further also characterises the sound insulation system: the latest innovations are Tronsole Type P for elegant prefabricated landings made of fair-faced concrete and Tronsole Type F with the first approval for corbel connection of staircases. The DIBt-approved impact sound insulation elements not only contribute reliably to sound reduction, they also open up greater design freedom for architects and planners.
