![]() The Armatherm Z girt is another innovative, thermally broken cladding support connection solution which prevents excessive heat flow and potential condensation problems otherwise associated with thermal bridging. It’s ideal for locations that require a range of compressive strengths, such as foundation, parapet, concrete balconies and more. The range from Armatherm, includes Armatherm 500, a high strength, thermoset polyurethane manufactured in several densities. To prevent this, and hopefully spread awareness of the importance of structural thermal breaks, Armatherm offers a design assistance service, where we work closely with architects, designers and structural engineers to create plans that include the most efficient energy saving methods on the market. ![]() Armatherm services and products naturally integrate thermal breaks Unfortunately, this is something Armatherm experiences frequently, with project managers approaching us to discuss how a building hasn’t met certain regulations or energy codes, and if there are renovations that can be done to incorporate thermal break solutions. In addition, £409m was also awarded to reduce carbon emissions of hospitals, schools, museums, universities and other public sector buildings across England – but could these costly renovations have been avoided with more considerations in the planning process? Although there are preventative methods, these are often overlooked and not considered until the later stages of a project where it can be more costly to revisit to incorporate them.įor example, last year, the UK Government awarded £1.8bn bn through the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, Home Upgrade Grant and Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme to upgrade social homes and public buildings. These elements, though integral to a building’s design, can pose challenges in maintaining a consistent temperature within the structure. Taking action early saves both time and money Taking it back to the beginning of a construction project when initial designs are drawn up, it’s becoming more important that, at this preliminary stage, considerations are given as to where energy savings can be made. When it comes to thermal bridging issues, balconies, cladding, roof fixtures, and foundation columns are common culprits. ![]() Thermal breaks manufacturer, Armatherm, has seen first hand how the process can be streamlined, and has taken steps to support architects, specifiers and designers in an effort to ensure buildings are created with maximum efficiency within the envelope. | iStock General manager of Armatherm, Paul Beech, discusses the locations where thermal bridging can cause detrimental issues, and how to combat this by working with architects, designers and structural engineers at the early stages of a project ![]()
