AIM Thermal Break Strip for Liner Tray Systems and Metal Cladding Systems using Zed Purlins

Thermal Insulation:

Energy Efficiency: The Thermal Break Strip effectively reduces thermal bridging between the liner tray systems or metal cladding and the supporting zed purlins. This helps in maintaining the desired indoor temperature by minimizing heat loss through the building envelope.

Condensation Control: By providing a barrier against thermal conductivity, it helps prevent condensation build up, which can lead to moisture-related issues and degradation of building materials.

Structural Integrity:

Support Enhancement: The Thermal Break Strip enhances the structural integrity of the liner tray systems and metal cladding by improving load distribution and reducing stress concentrations at connection points with zed purlins. This contributes to the longevity and reliability of the building envelope.

Reduction of Noise and Vibration:

Acoustic Comfort: It helps in reducing noise transmission and vibrations, improving acoustic comfort within the building. This is particularly beneficial in environments where noise control is important, such as commercial buildings and industrial facilities.

Corrosion Resistance:

Durability: AIM Thermal Break Strip is resistant to corrosion, ensuring long-term performance and maintaining the integrity of the liner tray systems and metal cladding systems over time. This durability is crucial in outdoor applications where exposure to weather elements is constant.

Ease of Installation:

Simplified Assembly: The Thermal Break Strip is designed for easy installation, facilitating quicker and more efficient construction processes. Its compatibility with liner tray systems and zed purlins ensures seamless integration without compromising performance.

Compliance with Standards:

Regulatory Compliance: It meets industry standards and regulations for thermal performance and building envelope integrity. Using AIM Thermal Break Strip helps in achieving compliance with energy efficiency codes and sustainability certifications.

Cost Efficiency:

Long-Term Savings: Incorporating Thermal Break Strip reduces operational costs associated with heating and cooling by improving energy efficiency. It also minimizes maintenance expenses related to moisture damage and structural degradation.
