Go hand in hand - fire protection and thermal insulation

Thermal bridges can be reduced with the heat-insulating Egcobox^® cantilever connector. The thermal insulation is a significant product benefit, particularly in terms of potential savings on heating costs and the prevention of condensation and mould formation in the living space.

The increased fire protection requirements for balcony connections, particularly in apartment blocks and high-rise buildings, must also be taken into account. MAX FRANK can fulfil the requirement for non-combustible components with the "Egcobox^® rock wool without cover" product variant and guarantee a high level of fire resistance.
