TradeSelect ThermalBreak™
Flexible Reflective Insulation
Trade Select™ ThermalBreak™ is an Extra Heavy Duty three-in-one reflective insulation, thermal break and Class 2 Vapour Barrier for use in all roof and wall 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. Trade Select™ ThermalBreak™ is suitable for use in roof, wall and floor applications. Designed to manage heat gain and heat loss, Trade Select™ ThermalBreak™ offers superior thermal performance to conventional insulation, and reduces thermal bridging and conductivity between building elements.
The Trade Select™ ThermalBreak™ product is the all-round solution designed for walls, roofs, sheds and underfloor applications. An overlap piece to provide full roll coverage rounds off the list of features, making the ThermalBreak™ product the ideal choice for many applications.
