Introducing the future for thermal break technology; the Schöck Isokorb KXT is certified by the Passive House Institute

Schöck Isokorb type KXT is the only thermal break element to be accredited by the German Passivhaus Institut.  Thanks to the new Schöck Isokorb® type XT, which has been awarded certification for “low thermal bridge construction” by the Passive House Institute, it is now feasible to incorporate cantilevered balconies into passive house design. The Schöck Isokorb® XT advanced thermal break module allows full design freedom for the balcony architecture, combined with the highest standards of thermal efficiency.  

The following criteria have been approved for inclusion on the certificate: 

Low thermal bridge. 
The construction fulfils the requirement for two typical applications 
∆ U WB < 0,025 W/(m2K)

Prevention of mould formation.  

The minimum surface temperature has to be high enough to avoid moisture for standard conditions.   Ө i, min > 17,00 °C
