How this node works
A truss connector ties the outer wythe to the inner one across the insulation, carrying its weight and thermal movement; made of low-conductivity steel or glass fibre, it limits the thermal bridge. Cast-in inserts in the inner wythe take the lifting hooks and the fixings to the structure.
