HALFEN HIT Insulated Connection

As a planner, architect or building contractor you are fully aware that cantilevered structural components and balconies must be considered in the design of the thermal insulation of a building.

Various demands are placed on balcony connections:

• Effective thermal insulation of the balcony slab to guarantee a high level of interior comfort
• Maximum demands on the fire protection
• Simple and efficient installation for to ensure  construction deadlines  are met

HALFEN HIT Insulated Connection are the perfect solution to achieve the highest standards of quality. Two product lines are already available:

• HIT-HP High Performance with an insulation thickness of 80mm
• HIT-SP Superior Performance with an insulation thickness of 120mm

NEW: innovative product line
HALFEN has developed a new symmetrical HIT balcony connection - the installation direction is no longer important!

Due to the new shape of the double-symmetrical CSB the balcony connections for cantilevered balcony slabs (HIT-HP/SP MVX) are symmetrical. They
can be installed irrespective of the slab or balcony orientation.

This feature improves installation reliability (on the construction site).

Quality features

• Thermal insulating fire protection material with material class A1 – non inflammable insulating material
• Application as fire barrier in ETICS façades  
• EnEV conform with building authority approved Ψ-values
• Passive House Institute certified in the highest category “Certified Passive House component“ for the HIT-SP ZVX with up to 24cm element height
• Certified as Low Energy Component with insulating joint from 80mm for cantilevered and simply supported balcony slabs on column with element height up to 24cm
• ETA - European Technical Approval

Benefits

• Symmetrical HIT units for more reliable installation
• Robust units designed for transport and installation conditions
  25cm, 50cm and 100cm element lengths for time-efficient assembly
• Reliable planning – all necessary verifications have already been considered
• Software with off-cut optimization

Versatile flexibility

HIT Insulated Connections are the right solution for any application:

• MVX - symmetrical connection of cantilevered balcony slabs: transfer of bending moments and bidirectional shear forces as standard
• MVX OU, MVX OD - connection of cantilevered balcony slabs with height offset:  transfer of bending moments and bidirectional shear forces as standard
• ZVX - connection of simply-supported balcony slabs on columns: transfer of shear forces in one direction
• ZDX - connection of simply-supported balcony slabs on columns: transfer of shear forces in both directions
• DD - symmetrical connection of balcony slab integrated in a main slab: transfer of bidirectional  bending moments and shear forces
• AT, FT, OTX  - connection of parapets and corbels
• HT - symmetrical additional connection of expected horizontal forces
• EQ - symmetrical additional connection for earthquake-zone application
