How to reduce heat loss in a building facade?
Thermal efficiency is high on the agenda for Project Managers and Architects and yet metal substructures still account for up to 50% heat loss in a ventilated facade.
With INNOFIXX’s innovative solutions that all changes.
At INNOFIXX, we are committed to providing you with the most economical system to meet your needs. This includes a substructure optimized in terms of U-value and statics.

INNOFIXX DOWEL
Stainless Steel (A2-A4) INNOFIXX SFD Dowel
The stainless steel INNOFIXX SFD dowel: is a patented system and has been assessed as a design free of thermal bridges (the 2-3% of isolated point thermal bridges can be neglected according to the current EnEV 2016) and in addition allows execution in A1 quality, hence construction of passive houses is also possible.
With this distance dowel, installation can be carried out through existing ETICS layers or concrete weather shells, without the need to remove the existing material.
The dowel simultaneously absorbs lateral,tensile and compressive fources and transfers them safely intothe load-bearing structure. Applications include the anchoring a hole range of add-on fixtures e.g. flues, balconies,canopies, awnings, advertising, etc.

Stainless Steel (A2-A4) INNOFIXX SLD Dowel
The stainless steel (A2-A4) INNOFIXX SLD dowel will be used in the area of facade anchoring. It unique feature is the simultaneous absorption of lateral,tensile and compression forces (anchoring concrete weather shells for A1-constructions)

Refurbishing older buildings without the destruction of the existing wall.
The refurbishment of facades with old heat insulation composite systems or the deployment of energy modernization and renovation, is simplified with the usage of INNOFIXX heavy duty dowels. With existing sub-structures the heat insulation composite system has to be demolished whilst innovative INNOFIXX heavy duty dowels would be anchored by passing through the existing heat insulation composite system. This feature makes any refurbishment very easy. The raw plug/dowels can be used to fixate conventional sub structures and, because of the anchoring used, the structure will have lower heat bridges compared to conventional sub-structures usage. INNOFIXX heavy duty dowels can sustain lateral, transverse and tensile loads and transfers those loads over larger distances in a secure way.
The INNOFIXX dowel simultaneously absorbs lateral, transverse and tensile loads and transfers them safely into the load-bearing structure.
In the case of modernization this means new facade elements can be mounted on existing sub-structures without problems, when using the right size of INNOFIXX heavy duty raw plugs.

INNOFIXX FOR DISTANCE BRIDGING
The new fastener innovation for distance-bridging on facades and roofs.
Heavy duty refurbishment dowel for re-anchoring of concrete weather shells. Application for approval in each individual case required. The INNOFIXX dowel simultaneously absorbs lateral, transverse and tensile loads and transfers them safely into the load-bearing structure. Can be used to fix loads such as canopies, balconies, advertising.
Reduce heat-loss.
From an energy perspective, the INNOFIXX dowel is in compliance with the energy saving ordinance (EnEV). Tests with respect to the optimum isotherm line showed that the INNOFIXX
dowel has superior qualities in respect to much lower head bridges compared to conventional fixation systems. Those qualities are based on the high quality stainless steel used to produce the INNOFIXX raw plug as compared to conventional
aluminum structures. The penetration point within the sub-structure of a single raw plug is much lower compared to the anchoring space that is required by conventional aluminum
based facade constructions. It has been proven through calculations that the inner wall temperature with conventional raw
plugs is 1.4 degrees Celsius higher compared when using the INNOFIXX dowel.
