Save energy with thermally broken sections

Thermally broken sections are the key to energy-saving windows. Thanks to modern thermal break with polyurethane, these steel profiles ensure significantly greater energy efficiency. They allow the Uf value to be reduced by up to 15 % - for lower heat loss and lower heating costs.

The energy plus for strong PVC-U windows and doors

The profile solutions consist of perforated steel legs and a connecting polyurethane bridge, which is securely moulded with the steel legs during production. Polyurethane (PU) is a robust plastic with very good thermal insulation properties. The profiles make a measurable contribution to reducing energy losses and utilising resources efficiently. A real plus point, especially with rising energy prices. 

  • With a possible Uf value reduction of up to 0.2 W/m²K, they noticeably improve thermal insulation
  • They help to fulfil the strict requirements of the German Building Energy Act (GEG)
  • Ideal for windows and doors as well as industrial gates

Recommended for passive houses

Passive houses contribute significantly to climate protection and long-term energy savings. Roll formed thermally broken sections play a key role in preventing thermal bridges, meeting passive house standards, minimising energy use, and maintaining a comfortable indoor climate.

Your standard profile as a thermally broken version

Our thermally broken sections replace many standard reinforcement profiles and are suitable for a wide range of PVC-U window systems. Whether as a profile for frames, sashes or mullions - we supply the right solution.

Isothermal curves compared

The difference in the isothermal curve of a window cross-section is clearly visible through the use of thermally broken sections. While conventional reinforcement profiles create thermal bridges, our IFT-certified thermally broken profiles create a barrier against heat loss.

4 strong reasons for your thermally broken profile

Screwing as usual

All the screw connections you would normally make in the profile can also be made in the polyurethane part of the thermally broken sections.

Statics as usual

With our profiles, you can achieve statics that correspond to those of a standard steel reinforcement profile without a polyurethane bridge - without compromising on stability or reliability.

Production as usual

Your production processes remain unchanged: No adjustments to the production process are required to manufacture windows with different Uf values.

Powder-coating as usual

As with all other steel profiles, we can supply your thermally broken section powder-coated on request
