Thermal Bridging in Steel Framing by NASH

Thermal Bridging in Steel Framing by NASH (stock photo only).

Just like any structure, thermal bridging in steel framing can occur. This happens when framing members have a lower thermal resistance and pass through surrounding materials, like insulation. Heat is then conducted through the members, which then reduces the thermal performance of the insulation layers. The National Association of Steel-Framed Housing offers a technical note release to address this issue.

NASH addresses thermal bridging with thermal bridges. The heat flow path is interrupted through different methods, such as fixing the cladding, which may create air gaps, or adding an external insulation layer with foil and blanket.

Members of NASH can check the technical note series to learn more about building envelopes. Again, thermal bridging in steel framing is a common issue, but it can also be resolved. If you need more information about improving the thermal resistance of insulation, NASH has the information that you need. Visit nash.asn.au today.
