Thermal break

Index Thermal break

A thermal break or thermal barrier is an element of low thermal conductivity placed in an assembly to reduce or prevent the flow of thermal energy between conductive materials. [1]

Architecture

Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings or any other structures.

Cantilever

A cantilever is a rigid structural element, such as a beam or a plate, anchored at one end to a (usually vertical) support from which it protrudes; this connection could also be perpendicular to a flat, vertical surface such as a wall.

Concrete masonry unit

A concrete masonry unit (CMU) is a standard size rectangular block used in building construction.

Condensation

Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from gas phase into liquid phase, and is the reverse of vapourisation.

New!!: Thermal break and Condensation · See more »

Construction

Construction is the process of constructing a building or infrastructure.

Damp proofing

Damp proofing in construction is a type of moisture control applied to building walls and floors to prevent moisture from passing into the interior spaces.

Garage door

A garage door is a large door on a garage that opens either manually or by an electric motor (a garage door opener).

Heat trap

Heat traps are valves or loops of pipe installed on the cold water inlet and hot water outlet pipes on water heaters.

Insulated glazing

Insulating glass (IG), more commonly known as double glazing (or double-pane, and increasingly triple glazing/pane), consists of two or three glass window panes separated by a vacuum or gas filled space to reduce heat transfer across a part of the building envelope.

Polyvinyl chloride

Polyvinyl chloride, also known as polyvinyl or '''vinyl''', commonly abbreviated PVC, is the world's third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer, after polyethylene and polypropylene.

Reinforced concrete

Reinforced concrete (RC) (also called reinforced cement concrete or RCC) is a composite material in which concrete's relatively low tensile strength and ductility are counteracted by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength or ductility.

Thermal bridge

A thermal bridge, also called a cold bridge or heat bridge, is an area or component of an object which has higher thermal conductivity than the surrounding materials, creating a path of least resistance for heat transfer.

New!!: Thermal break and Thermal bridge · See more »

Thermal conductivity

Thermal conductivity (often denoted k, λ, or κ) is the property of a material to conduct heat.

Thermal relief

A thermal relief pad, thermal pad or simply thermal, is a printed circuit board (PCB) pad connected to a copper pour using a thermal connection.
