Façade Thermal Bridging Solutions
Key Features
- Metallic cladding and façade attachments can reduce the effective R Value (thermal resistance) of a wall by as much as 70%
- ClimaSpec Structural Thermal Breaks can help attain LEED credits and tax incentives
- An adaptable solution for metallic cladding and façade attachments
- Quick and easy installation with high durability for long-term performance
Façade Energy Inefficiencies
Attachments to the façade and cladding frequently create thermal bridges that cumulatively reduce the R value of the building significantly. For example, a curtain wall can reduce the effective R value of a wall by as much as 70%. Lower R Values lead to energy inefficiencies, increases in energy consumption, and larger carbon emissions.
ClimaSpec Structural Thermal Breaks are designed to reduce thermal bridging at façade and cladding attachment locations such as masonry, veneers, curtain walls, rainscreen cladding, and window walls.
ClimaSpec Structural Thermal Break
Façade Thermal Break Solution
CLIMASPEC TB
ClimaSpec TB Structural Thermal Break solutions are designed to minimize thermal bridges, effectively reducing thermal transmittance. ClimaSpec TB is used to separate transitions and thermally break attachments to the main structure of the building, increasing the thermal efficiency of connections.
Thermally Broken Façade Attachments
Façade attachment structural performance is retained due to the mechanical properties of the ClimaSpec TB design. ClimaSpec TB is an optimum solution for thermally breaking metallic cladding attachments, curtain wall anchors, metallic shelf angles and façade transitions.
ClimaSpec TB is fabricated to connection specifications providing quick installation for an assortment of cladding and facade connections, including both new and retrofit projects.
THERMAL BREAK DETAILS
Every project is unique, therefore connections need to be treated as such. Our CAD library provides designers with connection details that incorporate ClimaSpec Structural Thermal Breaks to act as a starting point to aid connection design.
