HD Thermal Break Strip
High Density Mineral Wool Isolation Strip for Cladding and Roofing.
PRODUCT
AIM HD Thermal Break Strip is manufactured from
high density rock wool strips faced on both sides with
glass tissue (alternatively Class 0 aluminium foil may
be specified as a facing).
It is used in a range of applications to prevent cold
bridging.
AIM heavy duty spray adhesive is recommended to
locate the strip in position prior to fixing the cladding.
APPLICATIONS
The AIM HD Thermal Break Strip prevents cold
bridging and therefore condensation and heat loss
in buildings where the metal roof cladding does not
require thermal insulation. Typically such constructions
would be built from a steel frame structure with the
roof cladding supported by either
1) Liner Tray Systems
2) Metal Cladding systems using zed purlins.
The HD Thermal Break Strip can help reduce direct
sound transmission through the construction.
FEATURES
- High Density Rockwool strip.
- Tissue faced on both sides.
BENEFITS
- Prevents cold bridging and therefore condensation and heat loss.
- Can help reduce direct sound transmission through the construction.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The AIM HD Thermal Break Strip needs to be held in place whilst the roof cladding is secured as per manufacturer instructions. The best way to do this is to use a heavy duty spray adhesive applied 150mm from each end and in the middle of the strip. The AIM HD Thermal Break Strip is then placed along the top of the purlin or other supporting structure whilst the roof covering is fixed as per the liner sheet fixing instructions
