Several different types of thermal bridge can be distinguished:
Geometrical thermal bridge: section through the corner of an externally insulated external wall showing the isotherms at an outside temperature of -10 °C and an inside temperature of 20 °C. The 18 °C isotherm is located on the wall surface when it is close to the corner, but lies within the wall when it is further away from the corner (source: Bauigel; https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%A4rmebr%C3%BCcke#/media/File:Waermebruecke_geometrisch.jpg)
It should also be noted that linear thermal bridges generally occur at edges, connections and junctions, but spot weaknesses can also occur, e.g. at anchor points for curtain walls, canopy roofs, balconies, etc.
