Balcony Canopy

Thermal Bridging Solution

The canopies and balconies that use cantilevered steel or aluminium elements are the most frequent interface details for structural framework. On the inside of the thermal envelope, through layers of insulation and air barriers, these parts are often attached to slab edges or spandrel beams. Thermal bridging at balcony and canopy connections can diminish a wall assembly’s R value by as much as 60%.

Using Armatherm™ FRR structural thermal break material can reduce point transmittance (heat flow) at these connections by as much as 70%.
