Thermal break profiles serve as insulating elements between two metal surfaces and are an essential component of modern windows and doors. Thanks to their low thermal conductivity, they form an effective barrier between indoor and outdoor environments. By interrupting the continuity of the metal within the frame, they significantly reduce the transfer of heat and cold, ensuring improved thermal insulation.

 Why do thermal break plastic profiles make a difference?

Thermal break plastic profiles offer numerous advantages over other materials. They significantly reduce heat loss, enhancing both thermal insulation and energy efficiency. Plastic materials ensure long-term performance, maintaining their insulating properties even when exposed to humidity, temperature fluctuations or harsh environmental conditions. These profiles can be custom designed to suit any window, French window, curtain wall or interior solution, ensuring maximum versatility. The plastic extrusion process enables high-precision manufacturing with tight tolerances and allows for the integration of additional features such as channels, hooks and gaskets.

Applications in the construction and furnishing sectors

Thermal break profiles are ideally suited for a wide range of applications in residential, commercial and industrial construction. Their design flexibility makes it possible to develop customized solutions that meet the specific architectural and functional requirements of each project. These profiles are particularly used in high-performance aluminum frames, curtain walls and window and door systems, contributing to improved energy efficiency in buildings. Their excellent performance offers tangible benefits to designers and clients alike, making it easier to obtain energy certifications and qualify for tax incentives related to energy efficiency improvements.
In interior design, thermal break plastic profiles provide an effective solution for dividing spaces, creating interior glazing and building frames or sliding systems where thermal comfort and aesthetic appeal go hand in hand.
