Structural Thermal Break Canada TIM (Thermal Insulating Material) is a high density, closed cell rigid polyurethane foam used as an effective thermal break for a variety of applications, such as column base thermal isolation for roof equipment, cold storage facilities or to reduce thermal bridging between a roof and outdoor space. It also provides column base thermal insulation and is manufactured in several densities to support a range of load conditions.

The unique properties of Structural Thermal Break Canada TIM (Thermal Insulating Material) make it impermeable by any type of liquid, including water and most solvents, thus suited for moisture, severe weather conditions or harsh environments. With additional qualities as a structural thermal isolation block, it is resistant to mechanical stress and has exceptional insulating qualities, which makes it a valuable asset to reduce thermal bridging in non-moment building envelope connections and cold storage applications.

KEY FEATURES/BENEFITS

  • Made in North America
  • Exceptional insulating qualities
  • Cost effective solution for low load structural connections
  • Three densities to meet different load conditions
  • Thicknesses range from 1/2” 6″ in solid pieces no bonding required
  • Creep resistant – resists deformation under load over time
  • Closed cell material is impervious to water and other liquids
