Timber-to-concrete connection with Egcobox^® FB

Innovative timber-to-concrete connection with Egcobox^® FB in a single-family house in Schwimmbach

During the construction of a new single-family house in Schwimmbach, a high-quality connection between timber beams and a reinforced concrete slab was realized. The thermally insulating Egcobox^® FB by MAX FRANK was used for this purpose. The system provides a thermally separated yet structurally reliable solution. Already during the construction phase, the advantage became clear: the Egcobox^® FB could be easily integrated into the reinforced concrete slab. As a result, the subsequent insertion and alignment of the timber beams could be carried out with precision.

By combining a load-bearing steel construction with integrated thermal insulation, the system creates a connection that reduces thermal bridges while ensuring safe load transfer. Installation is facilitated by the adjustable steel blade. This was used on-site to connect the system to the timber beams. After the concrete slab was cast, the steel blade was installed, followed by the insertion and alignment of the timber beams. This allowed the connection to be executed cleanly and with a perfect fit.

Advantages of the Egcobox^® FB connection at a glance:

• Thermal separation to minimise thermal bridges
• High structural performance and reliable load transfer
• Easy installation thanks to adjustable steel blade
• Durable and corrosion-resistant connection
• Available with various insulation materials, such as non-combustible mineral wool

The result in Schwimmbach is a durable, energy-optimised and precisely executed timber-to-concrete connection. The project demonstrates how modern connection technology can be applied in practice.

This is how timber beams are fixed to reinforced concrete – thermally separated, quick and adjustable.
