Achieve the perfect insulation value with Polyamide strips

Keep the heat inside and the cold outside? Then well-insulated aluminium profiles are indispensable. There are various insulation techniques for insulating aluminium profiles. Rolling in with Polyamide strips is one of these techniques.

Optimize insulation value with Polyamide strips

Insulating aluminium profiles with Polyamide strips is called “rolling in”. When rolling in, we do not insulate the aluminium profiles with Polyurethane resin, but with Polyamide strips. The aluminium is separated from each other by Polyamide strips. After rolling in, the aluminium profile consists of three layers: aluminium, insulation (Polyamide strips) and another layer of aluminium.

Low-Lambda

Besides the standard insulation strips (PA 66), you can also choose to insulate profiles with the Low Lambda insulation strip. With this option it is possible to provide the same frame size with a higher insulation value (Uf-value), or to reduce the frame size with the same insulation value.

This are the pros and cons of rolling in

Rolling in is especially applicable for façade builders who make aluminium window frames and doors.

Pros of rolling in

• Rolling in with Polyamide strips has a higher temperature resistance than Polyurethane resin. Therefore the profile can be rolled in before it has undergone a surface treatment.
• Rolling in profiles generally has a higher insulation value than Polyurethane resin.

Cons of rolling in

• To roll in, two profile parts are required. This often also means that two molds are needed, which entails additional costs for development.
• Strips are less flexible than Polyurethane resin, which makes bending more difficult.

We insulate the following aluminium profiles

At Thermal Breaks we insulate the following aluminium profiles by rolling in:

We are also able to roll in the following advanced profiles:

From rolling in to protection and packaging

To protect the profile against scratches we are happy to help you with the application of protective foil on the profile. We also do the packaging. Of course in the way that is most convenient for you. We can place protective strips between the different profiles, or wrap the profiles in plastic.

Extrusion and surface treatment

We are also happy to advise you during the design phase of your profile system. Through good cooperation with various aluminium extrusion companies, strip-producers and surface treatment companies, you can outsource the entire process from extrusion to surface treatment to us. This saves you time and money!

Transport

The trucks of our transport partner drive through the Netherlands and abroad daily. It can therefore be an interesting option to let us arrange the transport of your aluminium profiles.
