Non thermally broken door.
If you are not experienced in selecting or specifying steel frames this may be a foreign phrase to you but it is one that is very important when choosing the.
Polar shield thus offers 10 times more insulating protection than a typical steel door.
As such they are.
When you are looking at the metal window and door options you may see the term thermally broken or non thermally broken scattered throughout the information you are reading.
Thermally broken windows and doors are engineered and fabricated to provide the highest level of energy efficiency.
To improve the overall performance of the window or door a thermal break needs to be added to the frame.
The lower the u value number the better the thermal performance of the window and the higher the condensation rating value the better the resistance to potential condensation.
A typical non thermally broken steel window can have a u value of 0 46 and condensation resistance of 25.
This all relates back to the frame an equally important component in any window and door system.
Our non thermal broken doors are well insulated with 5 8 tempered dual pane glass polyurethane foam weatherstripping bottom sweep and built in threshold.
Do you really need a thermal broken door.
The frame can greatly affect the actual energy efficiency of any window and door including that of double glazed systems.
