Thermal breaks are the missing links in continuous insulation

Energy conservation in buildings is dependent on well fitting, continuous insulation. Poorly fitting or breaches in the insulation coverage result in energy losses that could be avoided. Thermal bridges at exposed structural areas sap the energy from the building by conduction where steel or concrete bridge the from inside to outside.

At Armatherm we concentrate on the structural thermal bridging bypasses that happen at specific areas of a building. We supply insulating materials that carry structural loads and mitigate the energy losses in these challenging areas. We provide answers to challenging building envelope questions that until recently were overlooked.

Heating and cooling transfer efficiency or thermal transmittances, referred to as the U-value of a structure's assembly, is used to measure the loss of heat in a building.
