Thermal bridge metal anchor? (long facing brick element at window lintel)

Hello everyone,

since the soldier course of the bricks would not hold on two of our windows otherwise, our site manager has now equipped long concrete elements with cut-out bricks and then installed them as a long element. It looks very good from the outside.

However, I have noticed that the elements are additionally fixed to the lintel with two anchors besides the support. I will definitely ask again to have the PU elements installed more neatly here, without gaps.
The real question now is these anchors. Are they problematic as a thermal bridge? Although the cross-section is relatively small, according to my understanding there is no insulation between the outside air and the interior wall here.

Thank you and best regards

Clearly, that is a thermal bridge - but honestly: you can also neglect it. Do you think the house is otherwise free of thermal bridges?

I find the patchwork insulation much worse... hope he worked cleaner elsewhere.

But how much length does the clinker have to cover that he can't manage it without aids?

With us, except at the garage, there is nowhere any iron or similar underneath/inside...

4 and 3 meters. Yes - the PU insulation will be improved again - a piece has already fallen out, I believe they somehow did that in the rain.

The site manager said that otherwise it is very difficult with the Grenadier layer and he thinks it is better this way. Normally I would be suspicious too, but he even had additional costs because of it.

I'm just afraid that I might get mold problems - I can't assess thermal bridges at all - I just know these "horror images" around windows or in room corners.

The bricks in the rain? No wonder something is falling off.

For me, the largest opening with the diagonal arch is 2.5m - actually wanted angle irons underneath and bricks laid straight on top, but we misunderstood each other there. Well, by now I think it looks quite nice.

I wouldn't worry about mold there - the two anchors are way too small to create a large heat loss surface.

The clinker itself, of course not, only the installation of a finished element. Okay, then I am somewhat relieved.
