Huntsman Building Solutions introduced D-Max Wall, a new assembly and continuous insulation solution which allows spray polyurethane foam insulation to be installed from the interior while managing thermal bridging of the studs and structure.
One of the ways the design, engineering and construction teams met the City of Vancouver’s new stringent energy requirements was by using structural thermal breaks to prevent thermal bridging at balconies, eyebrows, parapets and planter walls.
The design team, consisting of ZGF Cotter Architects, Fast + Epp structural engineers, and ITC Construction Group, paid close attention to energy-saving measures at the building envelope to minimize costs and carbon footprint, and improve occupant comfort
Knight Wall Systems announced the launch of ThermaZee, a new, simple, rainscreen girt that reduces thermal bridging, with thermal performance values over 90 percent effective, dramatically increasing the rainscreen wall assembly performance.
Schöck North America has received ISO 9001:2015 quality management system certification. The certification was granted after an independent certifying body evaluated Schöck’s quality management systems implementation against the requirements of the International Organization for Standardization.
