Cerra ITB Wall Ties Reduce Thermal Bridging for Passive House Constructions Cerra Metal Works is helping builders meet Passive House and Section J requirements with its innovative ITB (Insulation-Thermal-Break) wall ties- engineered to improve thermal performance without changing traditional construction methods. Thermal bridging through metal wall ties is a known weak point in cavity masonry and brick veneer walls. Standard stainless or galvanised steel ties conduct heat through the wall envelope, undermining insulation and creating cold spots that increase condensation and energy loss. Cerra's ITB range addresses this issue with a built-in poly isolator that separates the tie's inner and outer sections. This thermal break reduces conductivity, boosts real-world U-values, and improves airtightness by sealing wrap penetrations, without compromising structural integrity. Ideal for Passive House projects or any build requiring enhanced energy efficiency, ITB wall ties allow construction professionals to retain their standard wall systems while eliminating a key thermal weakness.
