Product Information

Window and curtain wall frames are commonly made of aluminium, which has a thermal conductivity of 160W/mK (160 times more conductive than glass). With high solar radiation and outdoor air temperature throughout the year, large amount of heat is transmitted indoors through the aluminium frames, increasing the cooling load of buildings.

To reduce heat gain through the aluminium frames, a thermal break can be used to separate the interior and exterior aluminium frame sections. Technoform Thermal Break is made of glass-fibre reinforced polyamide, an engineering plastic with low thermal conductivity (533 times less conductive than aluminium) and excellent mechanical properties.

There are over 800 freely available geometries to meet various market needs, and tailored solutions can also be developed for exclusive use according to specific requirements.
