As a planner, architect or building contractor you are fully aware
that cantilevered structural components and balconies must be
considered in the design of the thermal insulation of a
building.
Various demands are placed on balcony connections:
Effective thermal insulation of the balcony slab to guarantee a
high level of interior comfort
Maximum demands on the fire protection
Simple and efficient installation for to ensure
construction deadlines are met
HALFEN HIT Insulated Connection are the perfect
solution to achieve the highest standards of quality. Two product
lines are already available:
HIT-HP High Performance with an insulation thickness of
80mm
HIT-SP Superior Performance with an insulation thickness of
120mm
The product portfolio of HIT Insulated Connections has been
expanded by two new product groups: Beam and wall connections.
These elements are used as thermal breaks between two reinforced
concrete components.
NEW 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 HALFEN HIT Insulated Balcony Connector System 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.

Versatile flexibility
HIT Insulated Connections are the right solution for any
application:
NEW: ST - connection of cantilevered beams: transfer of bending
moments and shear forces in one direction
NEW: WT - connection of cantilevered walls: transfer of bending
moments and shear forces in vertical and horizontal direction
MVX - symmetrical connection of cantilevered balcony slabs:
transfer of bending moments and bidirectional shear forces as
standard
MVX OU, MVX OD - connection of cantilevered balcony slabs with
height offset: transfer of bending moments and bidirectional
shear forces as standard
ZVX - connection of simply-supported balcony slabs on columns:
transfer of shear forces in one direction
ZDX - connection of simply-supported balcony slabs on columns:
transfer of shear forces in both directions
DD - symmetrical connection of balcony slab integrated in a
main slab: transfer of bidirectional bending moments and
shear forces
AT, FT, OTX - connection of parapets and corbels
HT - symmetrical additional connection of expected horizontal
forces
