STB-1 Structural Thermal Break

High strength, structural grade thermal break material

Ideal for shear connections and other applications where high mechanical properties are required.

 

 

 

TBF high density thermal break

TBF High Density Thermal Break

Available in 3 densities: TBF-150, TBF-200 and TBF-280

TBF features a specialized, rigid composition engineered for maximum thermal resistance. Engineered in multiple grades to accommodate specific load-bearing requirements, it provides a seamless thermal barrier for high-performance construction and cold storage environments.

Thermal Break Washers and Bushings

STB-1 connections increase the overall effectiveness of the Thermal Break system they are used in conjunction with.,

STB-1 Thermal Break 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.
