Thermal Breaks

As extensions of interior floor slabs, traditional balcony slabs conduct heat from the warm building interior into cold exterior environment with the unwanted efficiency of enormous cooling fins. In addition to wasting heat, chilling the interior side of the slab in today's air-tight, higher-humidity buildings can quickly form condensation, causing mold to grow and become airborne months or years before it becomes visible on room surfaces, exposing the developer to significant remediation and personal injury liability.
