Environmental Product Declaration In accordance with ISO 14025:2006 and EN 15804:2012+A2:2019/AC:2021 for: STRUKTRA™ TBK Structural Thermal Break

STRUKTRA™ TBK Structural Thermal Break is a thermal insulation plate made with glass fibre laminate reinforced polymer, which forms a thermal break between structural elements. The thermal insulation elements are bolted, through fixed or clamped between flanged connections of internal and external steelwork, or internal concrete and external steelwork. The intended use of the load-bearing thermal insulation elements of fibre-reinforced polymer is to reduce the thermal bridging between flanged connections of internal and external steelwork or internal concrete and external steelwork. The load-bearing thermal insulation elements of fibre-reinforced polymer transmits compressive forces arising from the structural action of the connection. The element is intended to be subjected to static or quasi-static loads only and is not intended to resist shear or tensile force. The element is not intended to be subjected to exposure from weathering and humidity. The products are used in the construction of new-build and refurbishment projects such balconies, façade system connections, Brise-soleil and canopies, external access systems (staircases, balustrading, etc), roof plant room super-structure (columns), connections between new and existing construction, Building Maintenance Units (BMU). The assumed intended working life is of 50 years. STRUKTRA™ TBK is available in thicknesses of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 mm and can be cut to measure using a precision water cutting jet process. The cutting is done depending on customer needs and with holes in it for the necessary connections between the structural elements.
