Thermal Breaks For Supported Steel Structures And Roof Structures

Reduce heat loss by up to 90 while preventing mold growth where rooftop connections penetrate rooftop insulation.

Thermal breaks for supported steel structures and roof structures.

Armatherm frr structural thermal break material provides a combination of low thermal conductivity and high compressive strength and has been used in hundreds of structural steel framing connections transferring load in moment and shear conditions. This ensures that the thermal break solution is not only insulating and water resistant but strong which when working with steel is often a requirement due to the high load capacity of the. Fabreeka tim structural thermal break or thermal insulation material tim is an energy saving load bearing thermal break used between flanged steel connections. Uninsulated rooftop connections for parapets hvac units solar equipment and other structures penetrating the roof insulation layer act like cooling fins creating a thermal bridge between the cold exterior.

Structural columns exoskeleton structures junctions between masonry walls and support steel can form a linear thermal bridge. Insulate concrete parapets and steel rooftop penetrations. Photo taken prior to installation of the roof insulation layer. Structural thermal break rooftop applications schöck north america.

Farrat structural thermal breaks will support full column loads whilst insulating the steel structure. Flange mounted isokorb type s22 structural thermal breaks prevent equipment support structures from conducting heat through the heavily insulated rooftop while providing load bearing support equivalent to that of conventional monolithic penetrations.
