The fischer stand-off insulation system TherMax 8 is a solution for fixing into external walls without a thermal bridge in ETICS. The stud screw with the glass-fibre reinforced cone cuts its own way through the plaster into the insulation. During mounting, the stud screw is rotated into the universal fixing UX and is therefore secured within the building material. The anti-cold cone at the tip of the stud screw creates a thermal barrier and holds the outer fixing. The TherMax fixes light loads such as lights, letterboxes, or lightning conductors to concrete, aerated concrete, and masonry from solid and perforated brick.
