The Thermoshim is a thermal break plate that increases the thermal resistance of the Korbo masonry supports. Fit these synthetic plates between the Korbo brackets and the supporting structure.
Benefits
Galvanized carbon steel (λ = ± 50 W/mK) has a thermal conductivity coefficient higher than that of stainless steel (λ = ± 15 W/mK). This is why, in the case of galvanized Korbos, we recommend to always place Thermoshim plates between the brackets and the load-bearing structure to limit heat loss.
- Ensure that the Thermoshims and other filling plates are sufficiently high so that the two points of contact, namely the height regulating plate at the top and the adjustment bolt at the bottom, are fully supported.
- If the Thermoshims extend too far beyond the supporting structure, the outer 40 mm may be broken off, provided that the two points of contact are still fully supported.
- A maximum of two Thermoshims or other filling plates are allowed behind the height regulating plate.
- Starting at a total of 10 mm of filling, an M16 anchor bolt must be used.
- In total, no more than 12 mm may be filled without additional verification by the Leviat engineer. Please contact us if you have any questions.
- Installation instructions for Korbo and Sumo masonry supports are available on the website. Always respect the anchoring instructions in the technical file that Leviat prepares for each individual project.
- Use only filling plates supplied by Leviat.
