Thermal Break – for top energy savings

Thermal Break security doors ‘Steel’ and ‘Duo’ with visible hinges or ‘Silver’ and ‘Double’ concealed hinge

In civil construction, the important issues of energy saving and tax deductions, which have at their core the greater theme of respect for the environment, increasingly influence the choice of building materials. Entrance doors included. While the metal materials from which they are constructed are necessary for burglar-proof performance, they also encourage the flow of energy from higher to lower temperatures, resulting in heat loss.

How can you make the envelope of your house more of a ‘performance machine’ capable of meeting the demands of contemporary architecture? This is where the Alias R&D Department comes in: it has patented a new generation of security doors, capable of minimising heat exchange between two rooms, without compromising the design. The thermal transmittance value obtained is about three times lower than that of a standard armoured structure.

‘Thermal’, in particular, achieves a certified value of 0.8W/(M2.K) and allows you to assign your home to a very high energy class. In three words, the patented Alias solution: #sustainability #insulation #energysaving.
In order for the thermal insulation of a house to achieve the highest performance, it must take into account the ‘thermal bridges’ created by security entrance doors in the vicinity of continuous profile materials. While the metal materials a door is constructed of are necessary for burglar-proof performance, they also encourage the flow of energy from higher to lower temperatures, resulting in condensation – usually visible on the frame and, in the worst cases, even mould.
For this reason, the Alias R&D Department has designed a new generation of security doors with a full thermal break, without compromising the design of the door and while maintaining the same overall dimensions.
