The Schöck Isokorb® QST* was used to solve the thermal bridge problem of the building entrance canopy at the Valley Stream Retirement Residence.
The design of the Valley Stream Retirement Residence in Ottawa, Ontario included a typical building entrance canopy that is structurally supported on one side by the main building. With a structural steel frame and two hollow steel section beams connecting directly to the building's concrete slab, the design creates a thermal conduction bridge, which could cause significant energy and heat loss as well as dampness and mould growth. As part of a joint project between Taplen Construction Inc and Schöck, Isokorb thermal break modules were installed. This thermally-efficient load-bearing connection solved the thermal break problem.
The following Schöck product was installed on these projects: Schöck Isokorb® KST*
*Isokorb® type QST and KST corresponds to Isokorb® type S. For further information please contact "Technical support".
