Window and door openings can create weak points in the building envelope, even when high-performance glazing and insulation are specified. We explore how thermal bridging, structural support, airtightness and weather protection influence the performance of these critical junctions.

What Is a Thermal Bridge? Understanding Heat Loss at Building Junctions
A building can have high levels of insulation and high-performance windows, yet still experience additional heat loss at the junctions between building elements. These areas are known as thermal bridges. What is a thermal bridge? A thermal bridge occurs where heat can pass more readily through part of the building envelope than through the surroundingContinue reading “What Is a Thermal Bridge?

Why Window Position Matters: Reducing Thermal Bridging with Triotherm+
Why window position matters for thermal performance, and how Triotherm+ supports secure pre-wall installation while helping reduce thermal bridging at window-to-wall junctions.

Green Glue
This unique noiseproofing compound has a unique polymeric formula that converts the mechanical energy from sound waves into small amounts of heat. When the compound is sandwiched between two rigid layers of material (like drywall), it forms a damping system. So, when sound waves pass through the structure, the energy is dissipated in the formContinue reading “Green Glue”
