How can I achieve the best level of thermal insulation with such a connection?
Answer • Use the thickest thermal break possible (25mm for both TBG300 & TBN100) • Use stainless steel connection bolts to thermally insulate the bolt through connections. • Reduce the amount of material in the connection. The best insulator is air so, where it is structurally feasible, unnecessary material can be cut out of the Farrat thermal break connection plates leaving a clear air gap between the connecting pieces. It is left to the structural engineer to design such connections based on the characteristics of Farrat Thermal Break materials.
