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.
