ThermalBreak

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

CNZ PIR THERMAL BREAK STRIP
Features & Benefits Sheet

Product: 1200 × 50 × 20 mm/25mm • Foil-faced PIR (embossed foil both sides) • Rigid PIR core

Key Features

·  High thermal performance in a thin profile (20 mm PIR approx. R0.90–R1.00).

·  Foil-faced for durability and moisture control.

·  Rigid and stable — resists sagging/slumping; consistent thickness.

·  Installer-friendly 1200 mm lengths — easy handling and repeatable detailing.

·  Fast cutting and fitting with minimal mess (knife or fine-tooth saw).

·  Suitable for walls, roofs, and façades (battens/top-hats/rails/Z-girts).

Benefits

For builders & installers:

·  Faster installs than tapes/offcuts; simple QA check (continuous strip, tight joints).

·  Reduces condensation/cold-spot call-backs and uneven support issues.

·  Repeatable detailing across jobs and crews.

For designers & H1 compliance:

·  Significantly reduces thermal bridging through steel members.

·  Helps maintain constructed R-values in steel-framed walls and metal roof systems.

·  Typically exceeds common thermal-break minimum performance references (e.g., R0.25) with ~R0.9–R1.0 at 20 mm.

For building owners:

·  Warmer internal surfaces with fewer ‘cold lines’ at studs/rails.

·  Lower heating/cooling demand and improved comfort.

·  Improved condensation resistance at steel-to-cladding junctions.

Typical Applications

·  Steel-framed external walls: behind cladding battens/top-hats/rails.

·  Metal roofing: between roof sheet and purlins/top-hats/battens.

·  Rainscreen façades: behind sub-framing rails and Z-girts.

·  Thermal isolation at junctions where steel components bridge the envelope.

Fixing & Installation Highlights

·  Install strips continuous and tight-butted (no gaps).

·  Fix cladding/battens/rails through PIR into structure as per normal detail.

·  Do not overtighten fasteners — avoid crushing the PIR.

·  Optional: hold in place with tape/adhesive dots prior to fixing.

Packaging (typical)

Carton: 70 strips = 84 lineal metres

Pallet: 48 cartons = 4,032 lineal metres
