Advanced aluminium framing interrupts the direct path of heat through the frame. It suits projects with higher comfort, condensation and energy performance targets.
Performance Windows offers two thermally broken product ranges. Carinya Comfort is designed for residential openings, while ThermAFrame® supports architectural and commercial framing. Both use a reinforced polyamide thermal break to reduce direct heat transfer through the frame.
A thermal break separates the inner and outer aluminium sections with an insulating material. It complements insulated glass by reducing heat transfer through the frame.
Consider thermally broken framing when the project needs stronger whole-window insulation than a standard aluminium option can provide. Ask for the performance of the proposed glass-and-frame combination at the relevant configuration, and compare it with the values in the energy assessment.
Living areas with extensive glazing can benefit from a careful frame and glass selection. Review the opening size, orientation, shading and room use together. Thermal separation addresses the frame; solar control and the choice of glass remain separate parts of the design.
Carinya Comfort and ThermAFrame offer different residential and architectural options. Compare the available opening styles, frame proportions, thresholds, glass and hardware for your project. Final suitability depends on the selected system and configuration, not the range name alone.
