Steel balconies, steel canopies or solar shading systems are
generally connected to reinforced concrete components. Because of
the high thermal conductivity of steel, an efficient thermal
separation in the connection is essential to prevent thermal
bridges as these cause higher energy consumption.
HALFEN HIT Steel to concrete connectors reduce thermal bridges to a
minimum with simultaneous high load transfer capabilities. 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
Quality features
Thermal insulating fire protection material with material class
A1 – non inflammable insulating material
Building Authority Approval including determination of the
equivalent thermal conductivity (λeq)
type tested
Corrosion protection - The stainless steels used correspond to
corrosion resistance class III/medium
Benefits
Stepless vertical adjustment of the steel construction with
inclined perforated plate
Robust box - weather resistance, reliable protection of the
insulation material
Pre-fitted installation aid - as an aid for installation and
adjustment on the formwork
Extreme adaptability
The following types of insulated connection are available:
HIT-SDV as connection for freely cantilevered steel
elements to transfer positive and negative bending moments and
positive shear loads
HIT-SMV as connection for freely cantilevered steel elements to
transfer negative bending moments and positive shear loads
HIT-SZV as connection for simply supported elements to
reinforced concrete slabs to transfer positive shear loads
The HIT-SMV and HIT-SZV, with intelligent bar layout, are ideal for
use with semi-precast filigree slabs, the short anchor heads do not
come into contact with the reinforcement of the semi-precast slabs.
