As the title states, anyone used them?

Care to share your experiences, with this or competing systems?

RE: STRUCTURAL THERMAL BREAKS in cantilevered concrete balconies - anyone used these?

I have not used them personally, but I can say from an energy performance point of view in cold climates, it should be illegal not to use them.

They work great. One of my former employers does the structural stamping for Isokorb in Canada. There's a pretty solid track record of successful use.

The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.

They seem to have a genesis from the EU. Are there competing systems to Schock-US, available in North America?

I have no immediate need for use - I live in a climate that is 75F (25C) for about 360 days per year - but curious of their use and acceptance.

I can see that they would be problematic for PT slabs.
