Non Thermally Broken Door

When you are looking at the metal window and door options you may see the term thermally broken or non thermally broken scattered throughout the information you are reading.

Non thermally broken door.

Polar shield thus offers 10 times more insulating protection than a typical steel door. Our non thermal broken doors are well insulated with 5 8 tempered dual pane glass polyurethane foam weatherstripping bottom sweep and built in threshold. Not all customers need a thermal broken door and you can save on the additional unnecessary costs that go along with it. Thermally broken windows and doors are engineered and fabricated to provide the highest level of energy efficiency.

The lower the u value number the better the thermal performance of the window and the higher the condensation rating value the better the resistance to potential condensation. If you are not experienced in selecting or specifying steel frames this may be a foreign phrase to you but it is one that is very important when choosing the. This all relates back to the frame an equally important component in any window and door system. Do you really need a thermal broken door.

The u factor of a polar shield thermally broken door is 0 41 compared to 4 0 for a non thermally broken door. The frame can greatly affect the actual energy efficiency of any window and door including that of double glazed systems. A thermally broken frame is one which features a reinforced polyamide strip a non metallic composite structural material fixed between the inside and outside aluminium profiles creating an insulated. Thermally broken aluminium framing.

To improve the overall performance of the window or door a thermal break needs to be added to the frame.
