A slab edge shell is placed in front of the floor structure on the façade and prevents thermal bridges on the outer edge of concrete floor slabs due to the insulation it contains. In addition, the use of a ceiling edge shell has a positive effect on the transmission of sound through the outer walls in the building.
Ceiling edge shells consist of a porous brick shell that represents the surface on the one hand, and insulation on the other hand, which differs depending on the system. A tongue-and-groove connection in the insulation level ensures seamless installation. Thus, ceiling edge shells create a uniform substrate on the façade without changing the material, which prevents the formation of plaster cracks in the best possible way, for example.

the case of flat brick masonry, the slab edge shell is glued to the top of the wall using thin-bed mortar or a corresponding adhesive. For block brick masonry, normal mortar must be used for processing. It should also be noted that with a ceiling support of about two-thirds of the outer wall thickness, the load-bearing capacity of the masonry together with the optimal thermal insulation is used in the best possible way.
higher wall thicknesses, an additional insulation strip can be inserted on site to compensate for differences. There is also the possibility of using a height compensation tile if necessary. This is used in the event of differences between the slab edge shell and the slab thickness.
