What Is A Thermal Break In Windows?
Content: insulation for our homes, our mittens, and even our windows. Okay, well you might not think of windows needing insulation but it’s true! Just like our homes, our windows have a thermal break: insulation built within the frame, which makes a huge impact on the overall performance of your window. Insulation within a window is referred to as a “thermal break”. The thermal break is a continuous barrier between the inside and outside window frames that prevent conductive thermal energy loss (see the image above). The barrier securely bonds the interior and exterior metal frames of the window sash. This thermal break creates thermal energy loss resistance and combined with gas-filled triple-pane glazing, keeps the interior space of your window at a more comfortable temperature. When your windows have a comfortable temperature, you have a comfortable temperature. Like we’ve discussed in earlier blog posts, the colder the window frame the greater the conductive current.
