Ideal for shear connections and other applications where high mechanical properties are required.
TBF is a rigid, high-density thermal break for building envelope and cold storage connections. It comes in three densities, so the grade can be matched to the bearing load.
STB-1 washers and bushings can be used on the warm face of the structure, and including a thermal break at the bolt connection will reduce heat loss an additional 4% per bolt, depending on the wall assembly connection. Without these isolators, condensation can occur on the bolt heads which can develop into damp and mold issues.
