HALFEN HIT Balcony Connections: 2 hour fire protection as standard
Structural fire protection is a complex issue that should not to be
neglected. Interpretation of the regulations and their correct
application requires comprehensive know-how.
An uncomplicated and above all a reliable solution is available for balcony connections. Class A1 rock wool material is used in all HALFEN Insulated HIT-HP and HIT-SP connection elements for energy-efficiency, and also for fire protection. Consequently, HIT elements meet the highest fire resistance REI 120 classification as standard.

HALFEN sets new standards with the HTA-CE Plus!
The classic anchor channel is now ready for a leap in its
evolution: Thanks to outstanding engineering improvements and
multiple optimized details a new, more efficient HALFEN channel is
now available.
The innovative hot-rolled HALFEN HTA-CE plus channels provide you the following benefits:
The innovative hot-rolled HALFEN HTA-CE plus channels provide you the following benefits:
- Due to the new, higher load range more applications can be covered with the new HTA-CE 40/22P and HTA-CE 50/30P channels. This reduces the risk of channel and bolt confusion on your construction site and in your precast plant.

HK5 – with increased load capacities and reduced thermal heat
transfer
Combining timeless design with long life and low maintenance costs:
the brickwork façade. To ensure that brickwork façades continue to
meet the increasing demands for energy efficiency, we have been
continuously developing our brickwork support over the years.
The HK5 is the latest generation of brickwork support. Improvements in geometry and material mean a more energy efficient, stronger and more economical bracket.

Fewer movement joints with the new HALFEN HIT Insulated connections
Following amendments to the DIBt approval Z-15.7-293 in November
2016 and further changes to technical approvals, Z-15.7-312 and
Z-15.7-309, the distance between movement joints for propped
balconies, access walkways and continuous parapets has increased by
more than 100% to 23 metres.
HALFEN HIT Insulated connections fulfill the highest fire protection requirement according to REI 120 as standard. You can find our products as (Tekla) building components in BIM libraries and on the HALFEN PARTcommunity as CAD drawings. To ensure economic planning, HALFEN provides the HIT design software and a HALFEN ψ-calculator. Contact HALFEN at technical@halfen.co.uk, phone: 01582 470 300.
