Armatherm applications

Armatherm™ FRR — Masonry Shelf Angle Thermal Bridging Solution

Masonry veneer walls require tie-backs and shelf angles which form significant thermal bridges and can reduce a walls’ R value by as much as 50% making it difficult to meet energy codes.

Armatherm™ 500 – Column Base Thermal Bridging Solution (load dependent)

Steel columns traditionally extend through the building envelope (floor slab) and insulation at their base.

Armatherm™ 500 – Foundation Wall Thermal Bridging Solution (load dependent)

Foundations are part of a buildings’ thermal envelope. The intersection at a slab on grade to foundation wall and the exterior wall to foundation transition are both areas where heat flows out of a building due primarily to non-continuous insulation details.

Armatherm™ FRR – Balcony / Canopy Thermal Bridging Solution

The most common interface details for structural framing are canopies and balconies that use cantilevered steel or aluminum elements.

Armatherm™ FRR – Parapet Roof Penetration Thermal Bridging Solution

The roof is part of the building envelope where penetrations such as davits, anchors and supports for dunnage extend through the thermal envelope and roof insulation creating non-continuous insulation.

ArmaGirt™ Z-Girt – Cladding Thermal Bridging Solution

Armatherm cladding attachments significantly improve wall assembly thermal performance. ArmaGirt™ Z Girt, clip and thermal break shims provide a combination of low thermal conductivity and high compressive strength transferring load and reducing heat loss.

Take advantage of our valuable online resources on our website, including test reports, extensive literature libraries, design assistance and product profile videos to help you understand the importance of thermal break products, the key features of our products and the applications in which they can be used. If you require CAD drawings for your project, these can be accessed via the Armatherm™website and downloaded to be easily incorporated into your project plans.

Our easy-to-follow online thermal breaks webinar is also accessible online, with the course providing an overview and introduction to thermal bridging, discussing how and why it occurs, as well as how it can be prevented. It showcases and compares the difference between building details with and without thermal break solutions to demonstrate the necessity of determining accurate values of thermal transmittance within a project.
