with a 120mm insulation element thickness that allows the replacement, or addition, of balconies to an existing building, by connecting cantilevered steel balconies to the reinforced concrete slab. It minimises thermal bridges at concrete-to-steel connections on cantilever balconies and transfers negative moments and positive shear forces. This offers a number of different options for integrated, energy-efficient building renovation and guarantees enormous scope for design. The RKS also provides LABC registration, the highest level of BBA Certification and easily meets the necessary Building Regulations. For your free copy of the new Thermal
