Thermal Break Material 1 (TBM-1)
Thermal Break Material (TBM-1) is a thermoset, reinforced composite. It can transfer loading conditions up to 30,000 psi and has very good fire properties. Like other high strength thermal break materials, it exhibits little to no compression in moment loading conditions, and limited creep under load. compatible with all field applied air barriers, sealants and flashings.
- Reduces conductive heat loss due to thermal bridging
- Keeps surface temps above dew point to prevent condensation risk
- Conducts heat:
- 820 times less than aluminum
- 220 times less than steel
- 65 times less than stainless steel
- Â Uses:
- Steel connections
- Balcony/canopy connections
- Roof equipment screen posts
- Dunnage posts
- Masonry relief angles
- Available sizes:
- 1/4″, 1/2″, 3/4″, 1″, & 2″
Use TBM-1 in canopy, balcony, and sunshade connections. Consult with Thermal Bridging Solutions on thickness required.
The purpose of a thermal break is to reduce the impact of thermal bridging by preventing conductive heat flow through the building thermal envelope. Thermal breaks also help to keep surface temperatures within the thermal envelope above the dew point. This eliminates potential condensation risk.
Thermal Break MaterialTM (TBM-1) conducts heat 820 times less than aluminum, 220 times less than steel and 65 times less than stainless steel. For any material, conduction is a function of thickness and temperature difference, so the thickness of a thermal break material should be carefully considered.
