Thermal Bridge Used in Aluminum Profile Window and Door with Customized Shape

What is a heat insulation strip?

Insulation of aluminum doors and windows sealed with insulation strip is the one with the glass fiber reinforced polyamide nylon (PA66), referred to as Nylon 66 insulation strips, expansion coefficient is small, heat-resistant, and anti-aging properties.

High Precision For Aluminum Sash Window Frame PA66 25% Fiberglass Thermal Insulation barrier strips.

Inserted in the thermal break aluminium profiles, and being the part of energy-saving window system for reducing heat conduction.

The shape I polyamide thermal barrier material can prevent the window frame from dust and water and could realize a better Uf value by sealing with a rubber profile, mostly used on the sash.

A thermal break is a material with low thermal conductivity, placed in an assembly, to reduce or prevent the flow of thermal energy between the inside and outside of a building.

Can polyamide strips thermally break aluminum extrusion assemblies?

Yes.

Structural insulating polyamide strips have been utilized for thermally breaking aluminum extrusion assemblies for over 30 years and have been in use in north america for over a decade. Polyamide strips are available with many configurations to meet different performance specifications. Creating a thermal break utilizing a polyamide strip system entails a 3 step process.

1. Profile knurling

2. Strip insertion

3. Crimping

What are the different types of polyamides?

Polyamide (PA) Polyamides are among the most important and proven technical thermoplastics, known for their heat resistance, stiffness and high mechanical stability Polyamides can be classified into different types, with PA 6, PA 6.6 and PA 12 most established on the market.

Our polyamide strips are made of PA6.6 reinforced by 25% fiberglass.

The Function of Thermal Break Windows

1. Broken bridge aluminum thermal break strips reduce heat conduction: the heat broken bridge aluminum alloy profiles are adopted, and the hollow glass structure is adopted. The broken bridge aluminum doors and windows reduce the heat conduction through the doors and windows. In this way, it will not feel hot under the high temperature of the scorching sun in summer. It's cold and windy in winter, and we don't feel cold. This ensures that the indoor temperature is maintained.

2. Prevent condensation: The temperature of the inner surface of the broken bridge aluminum door and window profile with thermal break strips is close to the indoor temperature, reducing the possibility of indoor moisture condensing on the surface of the profile due to supersaturation. This is crucial for the insulation of the window.

3. The broken bridge aluminum thermal break strip plays the role of heat preservation and energy saving. Broken bridge aluminum door and window frames with thermal insulation strips can reduce the heat loss through the window frames by one-third. In summer, if there is an air conditioner, window frames with thermal insulation strips can reduce energy loss more.

4. To protect the environment: through the application of the thermal insulation system of broken bridge aluminum doors and windows, energy consumption can be reduced, and the environmental radiation caused by air conditioning and heating can be reduced at the same time.

5. Broken bridge aluminum thermal break strips are good for health: the heat exchange between the human body and the environment depends on the indoor air temperature, air flow speed and outdoor air temperature. By adjusting the indoor temperature of broken bridge aluminum doors and windows, the use is lower than 12~13 ℃, and the most comfortable environment has been achieved.

6. Broken bridge aluminum thermal break strips reduce noise: the use of hollow glass structures with different thicknesses and heat-insulated bridge-broken aluminum profile cavity structures can effectively reduce the resonance effect of sound waves, organize sound transmission, and reduce noise by more than 30dB.

Advantages of using polyamide strips.

They provide a better thermal insulation.

They need lesser use of metals.

The polyamide strips are cost-effective.

They are easy to create with thermal barriers.

They help in resources to be conservedand can reduce operating costs.

They ensure maximum stability of the structure.

They are more than effective in resisting condensation.

They don’t require any special handling or fabrication.

Application of polyamide strip:

1. Used for thermal break aluminum window, door, curtain and walls.

2. Many customer use thermal break aluminum profile to do big air conditioner to keep heat of cold air, then make use of energy saving.

Characteristic of polyamide strips

Polyamide thermal breaks are extruded in dry state but they absorb moisture from the environment after the production as time passes. Moisture level depend the following conditions:

- Ambient temperature

- Ambient humidity

- Storage period

During the summer time, when the temperature and humidity in storage area are higher than usual, the insulating profiles absorb more moisture than in the remaining seasons, even stored properly.

Package

For all specifications / shapes, they could be packaged in linear, the length will be 6 meters, or customized.

For the Shape "I" "C", and some simple shapes, they can be packed in rolls. The length usually is around 300-600 meters per roll.

Different shapes:

I-type thermal break strip is a common insulation material for doors and windows, with a shape similar to the uppercase English letter "I". It is the first generation and easiest shape of polyamide strips.

Compared to other types of thermal break strips, the advantage of I-type strips is that their longer length can better adapt to the width of doors and windows, improving the thermal break effect.

In addition, Type I insulation strips can also adapt to different door and window sizes and specifications through their own shape and structure, with high flexibility and adaptability.

For the I-type strips, we can provide the following size or customize according to customer’s drawing.

The C-type design provides a longer heat conduction path, resulting in better heat insulation performance than I-type strip, while also having better longitudinal load-bearing capacity. Besides, the C-type PA strip is also a necessary condition for the stepped drainage of thermal broken bridge aluminum.

For the C-type strip, we can provide the following size or customize according to customer's drawing.

The design of T-type thermal break strips usually includes a horizontal section and a vertical section, forming a "T" - shaped structure.

This design adds a small section under the thermal break strip, allowing the sealing strip to overlap with the thermal break strips, thereby improving the overall insulation performance.

For the T-type strip, we can provide the following size or customize according to customer's drawing.

Hollow thermal break strip, also known as multi-cavity insulation strip, can reduce heat transfer by changing the air flow path, thereby achieving insulation effect and further improving insulation performance.

Hollow thermal break strip are currently the mainstream products in the market and can support large width sizes. Many thermal break strips with a diameter of 35mm or more on the market are made into multi-cavity shapes, and their longitudinal load-bearing capacity is very high.

For the hollow type strip, we can provide the following size or customize according to customer's drawing.
