Description

High performance structural thermal break plate.


Features and benefits:

  • High performance thermal insulators, used between horizontal and vertical connections of internal and external elements to prevent thermal or cold bridging.
  • Farrat TBK is constructed from materials which have very high compressive strength characteristics combined with a very low thermal conductivity.
  • The insulators 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.
  • An effective solution to meeting Building Regulations by reducing heat loss and internal condensation.
  • Not a proprietary mechanical thermal break, so offers flexibility in detailing the connection.
  • Supported by independent material testing to European building insulation standards.
  • Certification and product approvals by recognized organizations (SCI, BRE and NHBC).
  • Manufactured under Farrat's ISO9001 and ISO14001 systems.
  • Very high strength.
  • Very low thermal conductivity coefficient.
  • Available in a variety of thicknesses.
  • Manufactured to suit the connection detail (bespoke).
