Why You Should Specify Fabreeka Thermal Breaks in Your Plans
We sometimes get calls from purchasing agents at construction companies who ask for specific Fabreeka products even though they know nothing about vibration isolation or thermal break products. That’s because the architects and engineers who put the plans and blueprints together specified something from our catalog.
This brand loyalty doesn’t come from habit or personal relationships. Engineers trust us because they know we deliver durable, high-quality products every time. They don’t want to worry about getting an item that will fail, so they direct buyers toward the industry leader.
Recently, that same thing has started to happen with our thermal breaks – a relatively new addition to our product lineup. Wondering why you should ask for Fabreeka thermal breaks instead of an alternative? Or wanting to understand why one of your colleagues has asked you to purchase from us? Let’s look at a few of the reasons that matter most.
Choosing the Right Materials for Thermal Break Products Matters
Our company has been researching vibration, heat transfer, and new materials for more than a century. Along the way we have developed proprietary compounds that can’t be duplicated.
Ingredients matter in our industry. Having something that’s approximate or close isn’t good enough when you want construction components to hold up over the long run. That’s particularly important for thermal breaks, which are often installed at critical joints and need to help you save money (through reduced energy costs) for years or decades to come.
You might be able to save a small amount of money by purchasing a thermal break from one of our competitors, but then you won’t be getting the best products made with the best materials. If the goal is to get the right result, then work with an established manufacturer you can trust.
The Technical Specs Speak for Themselves
Although any discussion of technical specs goes hand-in-hand with your choice of materials, it’s worth remembering that performance improvements can be measured. Our products aren’t only designed by experienced teams of engineers, they are also tested rigorously – both internally and out in the real world.
That’s reflected in the verifiable numbers we can provide. Compare the values of our heat transfer, compressive strength, and R-value results against other industry solutions and you’ll see the truth. Fabreeka thermal breaks offer more durability, better strength, and increased insulation when measured against the alternatives.
Ultimately, this is just another way of saying that we do the hard work of designing and manufacturing products you can rely on. But we like knowing that you don’t have to take our word for it; you can look at the numbers and let them speak for themselves.
We Can Help You Meet Regulatory Guidelines
Some builders start using thermal breaks because they understand that the long-term energy savings will far outweigh the minimal cost. Others investigate them because they know local building codes call for products like ours that meet certain specifications.
If you’re concerned about meeting the guidelines for LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) or a similar program, our thermal breaks can help you to qualify. We are also compliant with ICC-ES in both the U.S. and Canada, as well as RoHS 2 and REACH.
It’s always best to talk with a member of our sales team if you have questions about specific programs. In fact, that leads us to one of the best reasons to choose Fabreeka.
Expert Advice Comes Standard
While some buyers with technical backgrounds might be able to find exactly what they need from our catalog without any assistance, most of our customers appreciate a little bit of guidance (or at least a second opinion). We make it easy to get that help.
Our New England-based team is trained to handle questions from technical experts, non-technical buyers, and everyone in between. It costs nothing to get a consultation based on your plans or blueprints, and there isn’t any obligation to buy from us once you’ve gotten the information you need. We are here to help you make the right decision.
Our 100+ years in this industry have taught us that our business grows when we build trust one interaction at a time. So if you want help from an expert without having to worry about making the wrong choice, you can contact us anytime.
