Reduced Vibration

Wood and plaster define the facade of two chalets in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. 73 m of balconies were realised on the two houses. The small balconies project 1.20 to 1.90 m, and the large ones up to 2.40 m. In order to anchor the balconies to the building, the engineering office Frühholz + Wörmann decided on the Schöck Isokorb CXT. As a load-bearing thermal insulation element, the Isokorb thermally separates the balcony from the building and reduces thermal bridges. The balcony is thereby no longer part of the heated volume of the thermal building envelope. The main tension anchorage of the balcony is in the upper reinforcement layer of the Isokorb CXT, whose tension rods are made of glass-fibre composite material. The floor slabs of the chalets are semi-precast elements, while the balconies were planned and executed in in-situ concrete.
