HALFEN HIT-MVXL Insulated connections for demanding architecture
HALFEN HIT-MVXL Insulated connections for demanding architecture
The new versatile HIT-MVXL elements allow you to enjoy the sun on the balcony for longer – even when it disappears around a corner. With their huge shear load capacities, it is now also possible to realize unusual shapes. Now the whole family can even sit on the balcony together; each on their own sun lounger. Also suitable for inspired architecture!
Thanks to the intelligent reinforcement layout, installation of the HIT-MVXL elements is both safe and quick.
The main slab reinforcement can be laid quickly and safely, as there are no interfering pressure bars at the bottom of the HIT-MVXL elements. Our smart, red CSBearings assume this function.
Also on the balcony side on-site reinforcement is quickly added. The HIT bars are arranged here in one layer.
And finally, the new HALFEN HIT-MVXL is perfectly suited for reliable transfer of bending moments and shear forces with good thermal insulation.
Applications:
Highly loaded or large cantilevered balcony slabs
Large overhanging balconies at outer corners
Benefits:
Fire protection REI 120 as standard – for fail-safe installation
Can be used as a fire-break in ETICS facades (Expanded polystyrene)
European Technical Assessment ETA 18/0189
Type tested according to EC2
Reduction of thermal bridges according to DIN 4108-2 and EnEV and minimization of energy losses
Prevention of condensation and mould
Technical details:
Insulation material thicknesses of 80mm (HIT-HP) and 120mm (HIT-SP) available
Insulation material: Thermal-insulating fire protection material of building material class A1 – non-flammable insulating material
Stainless steel in the joint
HALFEN HIT steel to concrete connector
HALFEN HIT steel to concrete connector
Steel structures, steel balconies, canopies or shading systems are often connected to reinforced concrete elements. Steel’s high thermal conductivity requires an efficient thermal separation in the connection to minimize thermal bridges, to reduce the higher energy consumption, and to prevent condensation damage to the structure.
HALFEN HIT Insulation connections for steel-to-concrete application reduce thermal bridges to a minimum with high loads transfer capability. They consist of an insulation material with a steel rebar system for reliable transfer of the loads.
Fields of application
Steel balconies
Steel canopies
Shading systems
Façade construction
Benefits
General technical approval no. Z-15.7-336
Type tested according to EC2
Reduction of thermal bridges in accordance with DIN 4108-2 and EnEV and minimization of energy losses
Prevents condensation and mould formation
High load capacity with corrosion resistance according to corrosion protection class III
Time-saving installation with adjustment plate
Freely adjustable to compensation for construction site tolerances
