Thermal break profile is one of the new types of aluminum profiles that are used to make insulated aluminum double-paned doors and windows to increase the insulation factor. To make a thermal break window, a reinforced polyamide sheet is used as a barrier between the aluminum sheet. Thermal break profiles are made in such a way that thermal break doors and windows will be better insulated against cold, heat and sound.
Aluminum profiles have two types: simple (normal) and thermal break. Single-walled aluminum sheet is used in simple profile and double-walled aluminum sheet is used in thermal break profiles. It can be said that thermal break doors and windows use two aluminum profiles that are connected to each other with a polyamide blade. In fact, this polyamide material prevents heat transfer between the inner and outer sections of the window. It should be noted that the reason for using the term thermal break is due to the thermal break between two sections.
What is thermal break?
Aluminum metal is a metal with a high thermal coefficient and transmits cold and heat more than UPVC profiles. Therefore, even though there are ventilation points, due to the inherent properties of aluminum, heat can be transferred through the body of the profile. Although this exchanged heat is very small, but being optimal in today’s world is the first word. The problem can be solved by separating the inner part of the profile and the outer part of the profile with an insulating material. It can be said that thermal break profiles are a series of profiles that use polyamide or PVC strips to separate the inner part of the profile from the outer part. This insulation prevents heat transfer and is used to isolate structures that have high thermal conductivity.
Aluminum metal is not insulated against cold and heat, but when the insulating polyamide blade is placed between the profiles, the connection between the outer wall and the inner wall is cut off, and the aluminum profile is insulated and becomes a thermal break profile. Of course, the noteworthy point is that polyamide tapes are much better and more suitable than PVC tapes due to their durability and higher resistance. Thermal break profiles are more expensive than normal profiles, but based on the calculations, these profiles can return their cost after a maximum of 5 years. The high strength and hardness of aluminum has caused this metal to be used as a raw material in the construction of doors and windows.
The polyamide blades in the aluminum profiles of double-glazed windows make the heat transfer coefficient of aluminum decrease from 203 to less than 4. In fact, polyamide causes the interruption of conductivity in aluminum alloy. The best way to know if the blades used in thermal break windows are polyamide or not is to expose the blades to a direct flame. If the blade catches fire and smells like nylon, the blade is made of PVC, otherwise it is most likely a high-quality polyamide blade.
200 different color ranges are used in thermal break door and window systems. Electrostatic powder colors, anodize, and wood design are the three basic colors of thermal break systems. Aluminum thermal break anodized windows, in comparison with uPVC decorative and colored windows, show a better performance for hot, dry and tropical regions in terms of resistance and durability of color and quality.

Thermal break window specifications
The thermal break aluminum double-glazed window with thermal break is one of the types of thermal insulation windows. Due to the high heat transfer coefficient in aluminum, in addition to the fact that the glasses are double-walled, aluminum profiles are also considered double-walled because they are connected through polyamide blades, therefore, in this method of heat transfer in There is no profile. It is noteworthy that the energy loss in thermal break aluminum double-glazed windows is much lower than normal aluminum windows. Of course, it should be noted that in this type of window, if the material and type are not selected correctly, the thermal break window causes energy loss.
Due to the presence of polyamide rubber between the inner and outer walls of the profile, the thermal break window has reduced the possibility of heat, cold and vibration penetration to a minimum. Polyamide can also maintain its mechanical properties at high temperatures and against chemicals, water and UV rays, so they have high strength and longevity. The polyamide blade prevents the transfer of heat, that’s why the title of thermal break has been attributed to these windows.

Aluminum thermal break window price
Several factors are effective in the price of aluminum thermal break windows, which we will examine each of them below. The use of wooden and upvc windows to prevent cold penetration has been popular since long ago. But the durability, beauty and strength of the double-glazed aluminum window still attracts fans. Using a piece of polyamide or polyurethane to prevent heat transfer can be a time-consuming and costly process, so it is natural that the price of thermal break aluminum windows is higher than normal windows or upvc windows and wooden windows. However, aluminum windows have advantages that can offset the price of aluminum thermal break.
