TradeSelect ThermalBreak 8
Flexible Reflective InsulationProduct Introduction
Trade Select™ Ametalin ThermalBreak 8™ is an Extra Heavy Duty three-in- one reflective insulation, thermal break and medium vapour barrier for use in all roof, wall and floor types. It meets the NCC/BCA requirements for in-situ material R-value of R0.2 for a thermal break in steel framed construction, and is also suitable for use in timber framed construction. Designed to manage heat gain and heat loss, Trade Select™ Ametalin ThermalBreak8™ offers superior thermal performance to conventional insulation, and reduces thermal bridging and conductivity between building elements.
The ThermalBreak 8™ product is the highest rated product in the TradeSelect product range, achieving impressive thermal performance coupled with acoustic benefits. It has some of the highest reflectivity values on the market while retaining effective cost savings due to the additional overlap piece, making ThermalBreak 8™ one of the premium products available.
Product Advantages
- 150 mm flap provided for increased coverage and reduced wastage.
- Made with high-density XPE foam; compression in-situ is minimised.
- Contributes a reflective R-value when installed adjacent to an air cavity.
- Highly effective in dampening noise.
- Fibre-free and non-allergenic.
- Water resistant, fire resistant.
- Rigorously tested by independent recognised accredited laboratories in compliance with AS/NZS 4859.1:2002/Amdt 1:2006 to ensure all product claims are met.
