Thermal Breaks

Schöck Isokorb® is a manufactured structural thermal break (MSTB) solution to thermal bridging. The Schöck Isokorb insulating element thermally
separates and transfers the load of the exterior structure in cantilevered
steel conditions such as canopies, steel balconies, roof extensions and
steel columns. Isokorb modules consist of stainless steel inner components and Polystyrene hard foam (Neopor®) exterior. The modules are
fully engineered and ready to install on-site, and Isokorb S22 modules
can be arranged above one another to transfer bending moments, as well
as beside each other to fit the steel member dimension and load requirements. Benefits include:
* Minimization of thermal bridges, thus eliminating condensation and
dew-point problems
* Increasing energy efficiency, sustainable design and possible
LEED certification
* Ease of installation with a modular stacking system
* Accommodation of a range of profile sizes and structural loads
* Independently verified thermal and structural performance

Tnemec has combined its high-performance coatings technology with the
insulating solid, aerogel, to produce Aerolon-a spray-applied thermal
insulating coating. Aerolon is the first fluid-applied coating to act as an
effective non-structural thermal break, helping to regulate heat transfer
and control condensation within and in-board of the building envelope.
With a low thermal conductivity of 35 mW/mK, Aerolon helps keep
surface temperatures above the dew point, reducing condensation and
inhibiting moisture inside walls. When applied to common thermal bridging areas-such as pass-through I-beams, fins, canopies, roof davits or
window frames-the insulating coating reduces the thermal conductivity
of the substrate, limiting the transfer of exterior temperatures through
building penetrations.
Aerolon is a low VOC, water-based coating that can be spray-applied
onsite or offsite and, if needed, can be touched-up in the field during
new construction or retrofit projects. Its application is more versatile than
structural thermal breaks and can limit overall labor and material expenses for projects focused on green building and holistic design.
