Fabreeka structural expansion bearings, or slide bearings, accommodate thermal expansion and structural rotation in buildings, bridges and pipe supports. Fabreeka designs and manufactures several types of expansion bearings for a wide range of applications, also including Teflon® bridge bearing pads. The expansion bearings are supplied as an upper and lower unit prepared to be tack or stitch welded in the field. Fabreeka SBX type expansion bearings are used when construction tolerances, high load, and rotation are prominent with beam spans being excessive. This bearing is the most resilient in our full line of expansion bearings.

Fabreeka-TIM® RF is a high density, closed cell rigid polyurethane foam used as an effective thermal break for a variety of applications, such as column base thermal isolation for roof equipment, cold storage facilities or to reduce thermal bridging between a roof and outdoor space. It also provides column base thermal insulation and is manufactured in several densities to support a range of load conditions. The unique properties of Fabreeka-TIM® RF make it impermeable by any type of liquid, including water and most solvents, thus suited for moisture, severe weather conditions or harsh environments.

Fabreeka® resilient laminated fabric pad is a scientifically designed and manufactured material composed of layers of tightly twisted, closely woven lightweight duck. Each layer is impregnated with an elastomeric compound containing mold and mildew inhibiting agents. The properties of Fabreeka are exceptionally suited for the reduction of impact shock, vibration and structure-borne noise.

Fabreeka-TIM® is trusted as the official thermal break solution specified by building professionals everywhere. It is considered a green product for its energy savings with regard to energy loss caused by thermal bridging. In addition, it is proven to have high compressive strength combined with resistance to thermal conductivity. Made from a fiberglass reinforced composite, Fabreeka International’s Thermal Insulation Material (Fabreeka-TIM®) has a per inch R value of 0.56 and is far superior to steel (R 0.003) or concrete (R 0.08), providing a structural thermal break between flanged steel framing members
