Aluminium Thermal Break Profile Guide

What Is an Aluminium Thermal Break Profile?

An aluminium thermal break profile consists of two separated aluminum sections joined by an insulating strip, typically made from PA66 polyamide. This structure reduces thermal bridging between interior and exterior environments in windows and doors, helping meet energy efficiency standards without compromising strength or design flexibility.

How Does the Thermal Break Work?

The polyamide strip acts as a barrier to interrupt heat transfer through the metal frame. Since aluminum is a good conductor of heat, the thermal break significantly lowers U-values by reducing conductivity across the frame. It also helps improve interior comfort and reduce condensation on frame surfaces in cold climates.

What Materials Are Used in Thermal Break Profiles?

The aluminum sections are usually extruded from 6063-T5 or 6061-T6 alloys, selected for their structural stability and surface finish. The thermal barrier is made from PA66 GF25, a glass fiber–reinforced nylon known for its dimensional stability and resistance to deformation during crimping and long-term use.

What Are Common Thermal Break Widths?

Thermal strip widths generally range from 12 mm to 34 mm, depending on system design. Wider barriers are used in high-insulation or multi-chambered profiles. Strip dimensions can be customized based on insulation requirements and glazing configurations.

What Types of Window and Door Systems Use These Profiles?

Thermal break profiles are used in:

  • Sliding windows and doors
  • Casement and swing systems
  • Tilt & turn windows
  • Bi-fold doors
  • Lift-and-slide doors
  • Fixed glass frames

They are suitable for residential, commercial, and public building applications requiring thermal efficiency.

What Surface Finishes Are Compatible?

Thermal break profiles support various surface treatments, including:

  • Anodizing
  • Powder coating
  • Wood grain transfer printing
  • PVDF coating

Finishing is applied after crimping or coating can be done on each aluminum half before thermal barrier assembly, depending on the process.

What Standards Do These Profiles Comply With?

Our thermal break profiles are manufactured to meet standards such as:

  • EN 755 / EN 12020 (Europe)
  • ASTM B221 (USA)
  • GB/T 5237 (China)

These standards cover mechanical properties, surface treatment quality, and dimensional tolerances.

Can the Profiles Be Customized?

Yes. Customizations include profile shape, wall thickness, insulation strip width, glazing channel size, and surface finish. We offer custom die development and engineering support to meet project-specific requirements.

What Processing Services Are Available?

We offer cutting, CNC machining, drilling, slotting, and end milling. Profiles can be delivered ready for assembly or integration into door and window systems. Processing accuracy is maintained to fit hardware and sealing components.

Where Are Aluminium Thermal Break Profiles Used?

They are commonly used in energy-efficient building envelopes, such as:

  • Residential windows and balcony doors
  • Commercial curtain walls and facades
  • School and hospital windows
  • High-performance public building openings

Their main role is to support thermal insulation while meeting structural and aesthetic requirements.
