HALFEN HIT Insulated Connection
- Insulated connection to minimize thermal bridging
- Maximum fire resistance class REI 120 as standard and ETA – European Technical Assessment
- NEW: robust and versatile beam and wall connections
HALFEN HIT Insulated Balcony Connector System for Post Tensioning Applications
The HALFEN HIT high performance structural connection system can
now be used to join post tensioned concrete balconies to a post
tensioned concrete slab. The system is suitable for use with all
types of proprietary bonded and unbonded post tensioning systems
currently available on the market.
The HALFEN HIT Insulated Balcony Connector System, which incorporates our established HALFEN HIT Structural Thermal Break, allows balconies to be cast together with the main slab and then simultaneously tensioned. Formwork installation and removal on balconies and the main slab can take place at the same time, driving significant efficiencies on construction sites and enabling a faster, more efficient build programme.
