What is a Thermally Broken Sash & Panel?

Thermally Broken Sash and Panel technology is an innovative window design that enhances the thermal performance of homes and buildings. The magic lies in incorporating a thermal barrier between the inner and outer sash and panel frames of your window and doors, significantly reducing heat transfer. This helps to maintain a more stable indoor temperature, making your home more energy-efficient, comfortable and environmentally friendly.

What are the benefits of a Thermally Broken Sash and Panel?

A Thermally Broken Sash or panel is a powerful addition to improving the energy efficiency and comfort of your home.

  1. Improved energy efficiency.
    Key to this technology is its ability to prevent heat from escaping in winter and entering in summer, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems and leading to lower energy bills.
  2. Enhanced comfort.
    By minimising drafts and maintaining a more consistent indoor temperature, Thermally Broken Sash and panel technology helps create a more comfortable living environment.
  3. Noise reduction.
    The added insulation provided by a thermal break also contributes to soundproofing, helping to reduce external noise for a quieter home.
  4. Condensation prevention.
    By improving insulation, the technology helps to prevent condensation on windows, which can lead to mould and damage over time.

How effective is a Thermally Broken Sash or panel?

By creating a barrier between the inner and outer window frames, our innovative Thermally Broken technology reduces heat transfer – cutting down on heating and cooling costs.

In cooler climates, like Victoria or Tasmania, buildings can lose up to 40% of their heat through windows.
