Thermal bridging in rainscreen façades can be significantly reduced by specifying the EJOT CROSSFIX substructure system. Manufactured in premium stainless steel, the system provides all the fasteners, anchors, rails and brackets needed to construct highly thermally efficient facades, as evidenced in its European Technical Assessment (ETA) and Passivhaus certification.
CROSSFIX maximises the façade’s insulating performance by reducing heat transfer through the substructure assembly. Key to this is its stainless steel composition, meaning it conducts far less heat than aluminium which is commonly used in façade substructures. Coupled with a thermal stop integrated into CROSSFIX Konsole brackets, stainless steel’s greater strength offers the potential for further thermal efficiency gains versus aluminium through a reduction in the number of brackets required overall.
