A Structural Thermal Break material designed to maintain structural integrity in the event of fire
STRUKTRA™ TBF is proven to have high compressive strength at a high temperature and low thermal conductivity, allowing designers to meet multiple building regulations relating to fire, heat loss and energy performance with the one structural thermal break product.
STRUKTRA™ TBF has been independently fire tested and verified to the following industry standards:
A2,s1,d0 Fire-rated classification to EN 13501-1.
Maintains very high structural performance and compressive strength to 500°C under EN ISO 604.
Compliant for use under Document B Building Regulations for buildings above 18m.
Structural Thermal Breaks?
Constantly driven by Engineering Excellence, we continue to lead the way in the development of the Structural Thermal Break Plate market.
Changes in Legislation in response to climate change and energy saving, has meant that reducing energy loss and the risk of condensation has grown in importance -
as has the construction industries' preference for Farrat Structural Thermal Breaks.
Structural applications
Farrat Structural Thermal Breaks are high performance thermal insolators used between horizontal and vertical connections of internal and external elements to prevent thermal or cold bridging.
Variety of application
STRUKTRA™ TBF can be used in a wide variety of applications where there is a structural requirement for thermal insolation
Common interface details
STRUKTRA™ TBF is capable of transferring load in moment and shear connections without creating significant rotation.
