FABREEKA INTRODUCES NEW THERMAL INSULATION/THERMAL BREAK MATERIAL

Boston, MA -- Fabreeka introduces its new thermal insulation material (TIM). TIM is a load bearing “thermal break” which prevents "cold bridging". The primary benefit is that it maintains structural integrity while reducing heat loss.

Fabreeka's thermal insulation material is manufactured from a fiberglass-reinforced laminate composite. The properties of this material provide a thermally efficient, energy-saving product that prevents thermal bridging in structural connections. TIM is a load bearing “thermal break” used between flanged steel connections.

TIM material is supplied in sheets or cut to size per customer drawings/specifications and is available in thicknesses of 1/4”, 1/2” and 1”. It is also supplied as thermal break washers for the bolted connections between external and internal steelwork.

 

Benefits of TIM

• Thermally efficient, energy-saving construction
• Eliminates potential condensation and mold
• High load capacity maintains structural integrity
• Low thermal conductivity reduces heat loss
