Column Base Thermal Bridging Solution
Traditionally, the base of internal steel columns extends through the floor slab and insulation of the building shell. This results in the creation of a thermal bridge and point transmittance (heat loss) at the base of steel columns in low temperature structures like freezer rooms and cold storage facilities. For exterior columns that support floors or roof overhangs, the same is true. The continuous insulation is broken by the connection between the column and the roof, resulting in heat loss from thermal bridging.
