THERMABLOK AEROGEL BLANKET - PREVENTING THERMAL BRIDGING ON STEEL FRAME CONSTRUCTION

Isolate the steel frame and ring beam to prevent thermal bridging in a private swimming pool environment with very differing temperature ranges and increased relative humidity.

Details Location: Highbury, London

Private Residency – Private Swimming Pool

Challenges

Eliminate thermal loop and repeat bridging through the steel frame.

Vast temperature differences increasing the risk of interstitial condensation.

To dovetail with conventional cavity insulation system.

To prevent steps in the internal wall line.

To remove the risk of condensation at the steel structure / ring beam and connection details and to achieve the required thermal performance.

Walls: 0.25 W/m²K Roof: 0.16 W/m²K

Solutions

All cavities of the structural skeleton steelworks packed with layers of Thermablok Aerogel 10mm Insulation Blanket.

Entire steel structure wrapped and lined with layers of Thermablok Aerogel 10mm Insulation Blanket, glued and taped in place.

Benefits

Providing an increased thermal efficiency at a critical position where absolutely essential to prevent repeat cold bridging within a much reduced space.

Robust and tough material can be cut to fit in and around steel structure.

Materials not effected by liquid, mould or bacteria ensuring a risk adverse insulation solution.
