Cold Bridges
Had to blog this one, in case anybody was not aware of this product. Until now, it has been extremely difficult, if not impossible, to eliminate the type of cold bridge that occurs when you wish to see the steel structure expressed beyond the insulated envelope. I have never yet found an engineer who was willing to introduce even a simple isolating layer at the bolted connection. Reliance had to be placed on the condensation risk being assessed against the building type being considered (not good if it is a swimming pool).
Shock - These guys have come up with a solution, not sure how expensive, but looks like it could be the answer to those cold bridging problems.
They do a CPD event to explain it. It is made from stainless steel which has a significantly lower heat transfer rate than mild steel. Its used a lot in Europe but still some resistance to it here!
