Individual design with excellent thermal insulation

Nordec’s expertise in thermoelement solutions spans decades, with hundreds of projects and thousands of square meters delivered. Normek® thermoelements are part of Nordec’s wide product portfolio. We take care of the engineering, fabrication and installation of the thermoelements, as well as the effective cost control of the entire project.

Fabrication at Nordec’s factory in Alavus, Finland

Nordec’s factory in Alavus, Finland is the main production site for Normek® thermoelements. The prefabricated elements are ready to install when they leave the production site. They are equipped with the required materials planned for the site, excluding the facade materials. This enables quick and cost-effective installation of the facade structures at the construction site.

The body of the thermoelement is made of perforated galvanized steel profile. Normek® thermoelements can be used for exterior walls and can be supplied with requested insulations, windows, and claddings.

Benefits of Normek® thermoelements

Enable individual design and implementation

openings of the thermoelements can be implemented based on the customer’s needs
can be equipped with glass and aluminum structures already at the factory
exterior facades are highly customizable

Excellent thermal insulation

same level of thermal insulation as a similar structure made of wood
high dimensional accuracy
width of the thermoelement profiles is determined according to the thickness of the structure’s thermal insulation

Solution for safe indoor air

structures are made of steel instead of organic materials – minimizing the risk of mold and bad indoor air quality in the building
thermoelements are fabricated in warm and dry conditions at our factory
ready-made thermoelements are carefully protected from moisture and dirt with protective transport packaging

Fast and easy to install

thermoelements are rigid and low weight
thermoelements don’t require any heavy lifting equipment during the installation
can be installed also in more challenging soil conditions

Lightweight structure

thermoelements are rigid and low weight
thermoelements don’t require any heavy lifting equipment during the installation
