| A key component to thermally broken
systems by YKK AP are the 6/6 nylon polyamide glass fiber reinforced pressure extruded
bars that join two separate extrusions into one thermally broken frame. Megatherm® offers unmatched performance and durability
by saving energy and reducing condensation. The polyamide material is much stronger and
has a higher melting point than PVC or polyurethane used in other systems; and since its
coefficient of thermal expansion is very close to aluminum, the bond between it and the
extrusion maintains structural integrity through a wide range of temperature fluctuations.
In addition to providing an effective thermal barrier, Megatherm® also allows dual finish options. Some unique design effects may be created by changing finishes between the exterior and interior exposed surfaces. Using different exterior/interior finishes may also achieve cost savings on larger projects by putting a less costly finish on the interior surface. |
