Schöck has supplied thermal break elements for Holzhaus Linse, a timber residential building in Berlin. The project uses the manufacturer's structural thermal break components to address heat loss at critical junctions in the timber frame construction. Multi-storey timber buildings face specific challenges in preventing thermal bridging where structural elements penetrate the insulated envelope, particularly at balcony connections and load-bearing points. The Berlin project demonstrates how specialised building physics solutions are becoming standard in the growing timber construction sector, where maintaining thermal performance without compromising structural integrity remains a key technical requirement.
