NYLON FASTENERS AND PVC SANITARY PROFILES ELIMINATE THERMAL BRIDGES IN COLD-ROOM
In this article, we will discuss thermal bridges in a cold room. Even more, how Nylon fasteners and PVC sanitary profiles help to reduce or to avoid thermal bridges in the cold storage.
WHAT IS THE THERMAL BRIDGE?
The thermal bridge is a circumscribed area of the building envelope where there is a higher passage of thermal energy compared to other surrounding areas. The most common consequence of a thermal bridge in the building envelope is the formation of condensation. Also, it is one of the most damaging elements of a cold room.
Usually, we consider that a cold room typically consists of:
- Walls of PUR or PIR insulating panels
- An insulated floor
- One or more cold room doors, either hinged or sliding
- A ceiling of insulating panels
In other words, these elements separate environments that have different temperatures and different humidity levels.
HOW NYLON FASTENERS AND PVC SANITARY PROFILES HELP TO REDUCE THERMAL BRIDGE IN COLD-ROOM
Some elements must pass through these layers of insulation: these elements bring different temperatures into contact, generating a thermal bridge. As a result, it creates condensation and water drops and, consequently, ice formation inside the cold room.
We have selected 3 elements we propose an alternative that helps to reduce the thermal bridge in a cold room:
- High-quality nylon fasteners, which withstand loads without breaking, instead of steel fasteners.
- Our ceiling suspension profiles with special fasteners made of PVC-coated steel, in which the PVC layer breaks the thermal bridge.
- Our high-thickness “Smart” PVC profiles line for building cold rooms, which do not require passing fasteners. Why so? Because PVC profiles fit together and compress the panels so that they do not move, once the cold room is installed.
