Thermal bridge breakage (RPT) is one of the characteristics that define high-performance aluminum windows with better thermal insulation standards. This is important for the windows of a home, especially during winter, given their ability to prevent heat leaks to the outside.
First of all, it is necessary to resolve what thermal bridge is and the associated problems that it can generate in a home. Due to the conductive characteristics of metal profiles, such as aluminum, heat is transmitted more easily through them. Even though the window has high-quality glass with great insulating capacity, the aluminum profile can let part of the heat escape to the outside and form condensed water droplets on the window frames. This does not happen with PVC, since it is a non-conductive material in which no temperature transmission occurs and there is insulation between the inside and outside face of the profile.
The thermal bridge breaking system is created to avoid the inconveniences associated with the transmission of heat between the interior and exterior that harm the sealing conditions of a home. It basically consists of preventing the inner and outer part of the profile from coming into contact with each other, embedding an insulating material between both parts to reduce losses.
