High performance, A2-s1, d0 fire rated structural thermal break plate.
Application
Suitable for use anywhere a penetration or transition exists in a building envelope to improve building thermal performance, such as:
- Facade system connections to primary frames.
- Brise soleil and canopies.
- Roof plant enclosures – columns.
- Roof parapets.
- Cladding systems.
- Connection of external to internal primary building elements.
- Balconies.
- Staircases.
- Isolation of sub-structure and basement elements.
- Man-safe systems.
- Connections to existing structures.
Description
High performance, A2 non-combustible structural thermal break plate.
Features and benefits:
- High performance, A2 fire rated thermal insulator, used between horizontal and vertical connections of internal and external elements to prevent thermal or cold bridging.
- Constructed from materials with high compressive strength characteristics, combined with a low thermal conductivity.
- They can be used in a wide variety of applications where there is a structural requirement for thermal insulation, such as steel to steel, steel to concrete/ masonry, steel to timber and concrete to concrete.
- Rated A2-s1, d0 to EN 13501-1
- Maintains structural performance at high temperatures or in the event of fire.
- An effective solution to meeting Building Regulations by reducing heat loss and internal condensation. Compliant for use under Document B Building Regulations for buildings above 18 m.
- High compressive strength.
- Low thermal conductivity.
- Remains intact under fire conditions.
- Available in a variety of thicknesses.
- Manufactured to suit the connection detail (bespoke).
