Armatherm 500
Thermal bridging through steel and concrete framing can have a significant impact on a building’s energy performance. Reducing heat flow within a building’s thermal envelope reduces energy consumption as well as potential condensation issues.
Armadillo Structural Connections group has developed Armatherm™ 500, a thermal break material that significantly reduces the amount of energy lost from thermal bridging and improves building envelope performance by helping to meet the ASHRAE 90.1 energy code.
Roof-to-wall and roof-to-parapet locations require structural framing for support, preventing continuous insulation from roof to façade. This creates a thermal bridge that can be prevented by using an Armatherm™ 500 series structural thermal break under the parapet. A thermal break can also be installed at roof penetration points where structural elements such as wind posts and equipment screens are supported.
Foundations are a part of a building’s
envelope. The connection from slab-on-grade to foundation wall and wall above foundation wall are both areas where
thermal bridging occurs. Armatherm™ 500 series material can support and transfer
loads up to 2500 psi while providing minimal energy loss.
