Thermally broken sections

The new Builidings Energy Act (GEG), the increased environmental awareness and rising energy costs lead to the fact that planners, operators and end-users are more and more demanding windows with better U values. Particular attention is paid to this aspect, especially with the construction of low-energy or passive houses.

Multi-chamber profiles with up to 7 chambers and multi-glazing (up to triple glazing) with an argon or krypton filling make it possible to achieve better U values. However, sometimes this is insufficient and too expensive.

Our protected thermally broken sections now offer the possibility to reduce the U values of windows further and to achieve this without structural compromises, even in the case of large elements.

Screwable

Screw connections, which are otherwise performed in steel, can also be performed, as usual, in the plastic part of the thermally broken sections

Structure

In comparison with equivalent steel reinforcing profiles, the structure is similar

Production processes

Production processes can be maintained unchanged. No changes in the production process are necessary in order to build windows with different Uf values

The thermally broken profiles consist of cold-rolled steel legs and a connecting polyurethane bridge, which is cast with the steel legs during production.

The IFT-certified thermally broken sections help to save energy and in doing so, conserve resources. They enable a Uvalue reduction of up to 0.2 W/m2K to be achieved. In doing so, they significantly contribute to meeting the requirements of the energy saving regulation 2016 (EnEV)

Our thermally broken sections are available as a replacement for a large number of standard reinforcement sections and for various PVCu window systems.We are happy to calculate the Uvalue for the PVCu window system you are using, as well as possible improvements to the Uvalue by use of thermally broken sections.In addition, our thermally broken sections can be used in a wide range of other areas than window construction, e.g. for housings of air handling units. The suitability for powder coating further increases the possible range of applications.
