Cills

A thermal bridge is an area or detail of the building which has a higher thermal conductivity than the surrounding areas – which means that heat leaking can occur in these areas, for example window cills.                                                                    Thermal bridges or cold bridges if not adequately addressed in the design can contribute to the overall heat loss of the house, and also to the formation of condensation and mould on the internal surfaces. Detailed thermal modelling and testing demonstrate that in utilising Altherm ICF’s unique, proprietary cavity closers thermal bridging around openings is kept to a minimum. Thermal modelling demonstrates Altherm ICF Thermal bridging Y-value is 0.04W/m2/K.

Using the Altherm ICF range of products, many certified housing projects have been successfully delivered for local authorities and housing bodies, including Cluid, Tuatha, Respond, HSE, IRES, and Urbeo.
