Wall Connections & Edge detailing 

Getting the right connection between wall and floor is an important early step in the build design process. 

You're energy and carbon aware,  and you know that for the best thermal performance you want as much of the wall insulation to line up with the Isoquick vertical edge insulation as possible. Continuous, un-interrupted insulation is a key pillar of Passivhaus and low energy building design. The more edge insulation you can include in the design the better, because heat escapes from the edge of the buildings faster than from the middle. 

In an otherwise well insulated house, getting this wrong, can add 10-15% to your heating bills

You also want the design to be robust and structurally secure. That means making sure the wall is properly supported on the concrete slab. Sometimes these two goals and be working against each other, but don't worry the team at Isoquick has lots of options and years of experience helping you get the details right not matter what type of wall system you're planning to use.



These images show the most common Isoquick edge profiles, which are available with either 100, 150 or 200mm vertical insulation, but don't worry if your unsure where to start. Contact us with some basic details of what wall system you'd like to build with and we'll guide you along the right path.
