Normek thermoelements®
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
