Thermal breaks for steel framing and structural connections
Steel framing conducts heat through the building envelope and reduces the effectiveness of the insulation around it. Thermal breaks interrupt that path. We supply Thermax B and Armatherm thermal breaks to commercial and residential projects, cut to the width and thickness your detail needs.
Our comprehensive range of thermal breaks includes:
| Product | Best suited to | Key points |
|---|---|---|
| Thermax B® | Steel frame insulation in commercial and residential buildings | Cut to your width in 10 mm increments. BEAL appraisal CA602. Resists water and compression. |
| Armatherm FRR | Structural steel and facade connections carrying moment and shear loads | Reinforced thermoset resin. High compressive strength, low thermal conductivity and fire resistance. Datasheet available. |
| Armatherm 500 | Thermal breaks under column bases and at envelope connections, including cold storage | High strength thermoset polyurethane in four grades. Standard thicknesses 5, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25 and 50 mm, which can be layered. |
