The Schöck Isokorb type KS14 thermal break outperforms certain ‘common solutions’ for concrete- to-steel connections. This is verified through rigorous independent testing carried out by the Oxford Institute for Sustainable Development. Specifiers, contractors and developers need to question bespoke solution performance claims. The lack of transparency in determining actual performance values may mean a product is simply not fit for purpose. Due to building site ‘tolerances’ it is vital that thermal product solutions should exceed minimum standards.

JJI-Joists are the versatile answer for housebuilding whether it’s for floors, walls or roofs. FSC or PEFC certified, they offer the UK’s biggest range of standard sizes, available from stock, come with design software and technical back up, and the solid timber flanges and OSB web make them easy to work with on site.
