Armatherm™ has partnered with RIBA to offer an informative webinar on the subject of thermal bridging. Developed to educate architects, this will provide an opportunity to earn important CPD points, necessary to continue practicing within the architectural profession.
If you’re a contractor or architect working on an industrial building, chances are steel is a key material for the build.
A luxury hotel in Yorkshire has improved its energy efficiency by up to 60% with an innovative thermal bridging solution delivered by Armadillo, as part of a £9.5 million refurbishment project.
Armatherm and Armadillo NV are pleased to announce that as of November 1st, 2017 the companies have relocated. The nearly 8,000 square foot facility is located at 1 Titleist Drive, Acushnet, MA 02743.
Armadillo has barked up a different tree by sponsoring the leading British female sled dog racer in the UK, Vickie Pullin, in her next major event in Poland.
Armadillo was recently specified to create an isolated floor section for the Rolls Royce factory, to stop vibrations from other machinery travelling along the ground and reaching a new piece of high-precision equipment that was due to be installed.
Thermal break specialists, Armadillo, has developed a new product for the construction market, to improve the efficiency of wall assemblies and cladding structures by up to 98%.
Thermal break solutions specialists, Armadillo, has provided an innovative thermal bridging solution for Aldi’s distribution centre in Cardiff, part of a £109m UK investment programme.
Thermal bridging is a big concern in the building industry, it has been recognised as a significant factor in building envelope heat loss. By reducing heat flow through a building’s thermal envelope we can reduce energy consumption as well as prevent potential condensation issues.
Need help with a building connection that requires a structural thermal break? Our technical department is available to assist you with structural and thermal design questions.
In addition to the heat flow normally transmitted through the building envelope due to air leakage for example, multi directional heat flows are created by thermal bridges.
Masonry veneer walls require tie-backs and shelf angles which form significant thermal bridges and can reduce a walls’ R value by as much as 50% making it difficult to meet energy codes.
Steel columns traditionally extend through the building envelope (floor slab) and insulation at their base.
Foundations are part of a buildings’ thermal envelope. The intersection at a slab on grade to foundation wall and the exterior wall to foundation transition are both areas where heat flows out of a building due primarily to non-continuous insulation details.
The most common interface details for structural framing are canopies and balconies that use cantilevered steel or aluminum elements.
The roof is part of the building envelope where penetrations such as davits, anchors and supports for dunnage extend through the thermal envelope and roof insulation creating non-continuous insulation.
Armatherm cladding attachments significantly improve wall assembly thermal performance. Armatherm FRR Z Girt, clip and thermal break shims provide a combination of low thermal conductivity and high compressive strength transferring load and reducing heat loss.

Reducing heat flow within a building’s thermal envelope reduces energy consumption as well as potential condensation issues.
Armatherm™ FRR structural thermal break material provides a combination of low thermal conductivity and high compressive strength and has been used in hundreds of structural steel framing connections transferring load in moment and shear conditions.

Thermal bridging through steel and concrete structures can have a significant impact on a building’s energy performance. Reducing heat flow through a building’s thermal envelope reduces energy consumption as well as potential condensation issues.
We are a collaborative, design-build partner who can assist in determining the extent of thermal bridging heat loss on building envelope performance including thermal modelling and connection design calculations. We look forward to working with you.
