Overview

What is a Thermal Barrier?

A Thermal Barrier (aka. Insulating Profile, Thermal Break, Thermal Strut, or Insulating Bar) is made from resins that create a "thermal break" between the inner and outer surfaces of aluminum fenestrations. It separates the outer and inner aluminum frames thermally from each other. This plastic thermal barrier profile acts as a barrier to prevent direct heat transfer through highly heat conductive aluminum profile. 

Currently, there are two principal types of thermal barriers used around the world: Polyamide Thermal Barrier Strip and Pour & Debridge (P&D). 

Kronos Precision Extrusion is a Singapore-Germany joint venture that leads the way in developing and producing Polyamide Insulating Profiles, is playing a significant role in enhancing the Thermal Energy Efficiency of buildings around the world with its high-performance Polyamide Insulation Strips for Thermally Broken aluminium frames. 

Kronos's polyamide insulating profiles create highly effective thermal barriers that help insulate 533 times better than aluminum. Because polyamide profiles expand and contract at a rate very similar to aluminum, Kronos's polyamide thermal break strips deliver long-term durability and water-tightness in a properly assembled profile. It also resists heat distortion and withstands most chemicals used in today's construction industry.

The use of thermally broken aluminum profiles with Kronos's  polyamide strips for windows, doors, facades, and curtain walls offers a considerable improvement in the energy performance of buildings, helping to cut the polluting emissions. Meanwhile, our PA profiles also contribute a massive reduction of energy costs to air-conditioning buildings, whether for heating or cooling purposes. Our polyamide thermal break strips help save an estimated one million kWh of energy each year, significantly reducing the global level of CO₂ emissions.

Extremely Smooth Surfaces, Tighest Tolerance, Outstanding High Precision, all of these set Kronos apart from other thermoplastics extruders. Our polyamide profiles yield best-in-class thermal performance and exceeds not only current codes, but also exceeds every country's stringent green building codes and standards in the market today.

The technical know-how accumulated over dacades of experience in supplying PA66 insulating strips to the leading manufacturers of aluminum windows, doors, facades, and curtain wall systems in China and worldwide, enables KRONOS to technically team up with the clients in the development of new highly performing systems, or improving the insulating properties of the existing ones.

Aiming always for the best quality, energy efficient aluminium windows, doors, facades, and curtain wall systems using Kronos's polyamide insulating profiles are the absolute first choice for new constructions and renovation projects in which compromise is not an option.
