Thermal breaks are materials with low conductivity for extreme temperatures like heat and cold. Due to their design, even if the materials are exposed to the elements, they will endure the temperature without getting too hot or cold. These materials are usually placed in homes to improve energy efficiency and temperature regulation. Depending
A thermal break is a component of construction that has low thermal conductivity. Thermal breaks can also be referred to as thermal barriers.
A thermal break, in construction, is an insulating material or barrier strategically placed within building components to interrupt the flow of thermal energy. A thermal break acts as a buffer zone between two conductive materials, preventing the transfer of heat from one side to the other. The purpose of thermal break materials and systems (thermal breaks) is to reduce the impact of thermal bridging by preventing conductive heat flow through the thermal envelope. Thermal breaks keep the heat in and push the dew point out. They break the bridge.
