Content: Example: If you hold a metal bucket full of ice, it will quickly draw the heat out of your hands. If you hold a foam bucket full of ice, the heat will stay in your hands. NOTE: Nothing resists conduction better than a vacuum; this is why vacuum insulated mugs work so well. A thermal bridge is an area that has greater thermal conductivity than the materials around it, providing an opportunity for heat to pass through. When you place insulation between your trailer’s frame ribs but don’t do anything to the ribs themselves, the frame then becomes a thermal bridge. Heat can conduct inside the trailer through the exposed frame much more easily than it can through the insulated areas. This thermal bridge reduces the overall effectiveness of your insulation, since heat and cold can easily go around it.
