Selection of ThermCon Tang Connections
The Strand, New York’s newest multi-million dollar, 20 floor, 178 room hotel incorporates over 50 of the new ThermCon Tang thermal break connections.
The connections were mounted to a structural interior column, and then projected out through thick metal composite panels in order to provide support for the hotels extensive laundry and kitchen exhaust ducts.

The slimline design of the ThermCon blade allows the body to be hidden from view within cladding systems such as Kingspan or Parklex, ensuring aesthetically pleasing clean line design detail.
With the revised 2010 building regulations now less than 6 months away, the need to completely remove cold bridging from buildings has never been greater.
The need to significantly reduce the amount of energy that we are consuming is at an all time high. Buildings are the main cause of wasted energy, with cold bridging accounting for up to 30% of a buildings’ total heat loss.
As well as this, and perhaps more significantly, cold bridging causes cold spots which in turn lead to the formation of mould. The presence of mould within buildings causes serious and sometimes irreversible structural damage, as well as serious health concerns ranging from asthma to bronchitis and even cancer.
