Structural thermal break connection plate that reduces energy consumption and potential condensation issues.
Application
Structural thermal break connection plate is suitable where penetration or transition exists in the building envelop creating a thermal bridge:
- Parapets.
- Slab/ floor edge.
- Column base.
- Roof penetrations.
- Custom windowsills.
- Roof edge.
- Slab to foundation.
- Foundation to wall.
- Concrete balconies.
- Custom moulding for over-insulating.
Description
Reducing heat flow within a building’s thermal envelope reduces energy consumption as well as potential condensation issues. This structural thermal break connection plate significantly reduces energy lost from thermal bridging in building envelope connections. It is a high strength, polyurethane material made in several densities to support a wide range of loading conditions. Due to it’s closed cell structure, it does not absorb water or moisture and has limited creep under continuous load.
Features and benefits:
- Exceptional insulator.
- High compressive strength, allowing it to be employed supporting large compressive loads with little deflection.
- Offers economical, code-required compliance for cold room column base applications.
- Reduces energy consumption and potential condensation issues.
- Can support and transfer loads up to 17.2 N/mm² while providing minimal energy loss.
- Thermal break material is available in multiple thicknesses and can be bonded to create increased thicknesses to achieve a specific R value.
- Manufactured from ultra-high density rigid polyurethane blocks.
