Pipe Warming Tape & Thermal Break Solutions for Energy Efficiency

Heat insulation, in the domain of building construction and specifically fenestration, refers to the systematic reduction of unwanted heat transfer between a building's interior and exterior. The primary goal is to maintain a stable and comfortable indoor temperature while minimizing the energy required for heating and cooling systems. In aluminum windows and doors, which are inherently excellent conductors of heat, this is achieved by incorporating a thermal break—a continuous barrier of a low conductivity material. Our core business is dedicated to providing this essential insulation function through our advanced polyamide strips. The science behind this involves interrupting the path of heat flow (conduction) through the aluminum profile. Polyamide materials have a thermal conductivity orders of magnitude lower than aluminum, creating a high resistance barrier to heat. The effectiveness of this insulation is measured by U values, where a lower U value indicates better performance. Our expertise allows us to engineer strips that not only provide this fundamental barrier but also do so durably, without compromising the structural integrity of the window or door. We consider factors such as the strip's geometry to maximize the insulation path, its compatibility with aluminum to ensure a lasting bond, and its performance across extreme temperatures. Our one stop service ensures that the heat insulation capability designed into the material is faithfully preserved and optimized throughout the entire manufacturing process, delivering a final product that reliably contributes to energy saving, sustainable building practices on a global scale.
