THERMAL BRAKE SYSTEM · Vancouver BC
Thermal Brake System
Nixon installs top-tier thermal brake systems engineered for rear-ventilated rainscreen facades. These modular sub-framing systems minimize thermal bridging and elevate the overall efficiency of the exterior wall assembly — less energy use and a smaller operational carbon footprint for your building.
The Thermal Brake System is an innovative modular solution offering a comprehensive range of thermally broken and intermittent structural attachment options for rainscreen cladding systems, across many types of exterior wall assemblies. By interrupting the path for heat to escape through the cladding supports, it keeps the insulation working as intended.
Engineered for Rear-Ventilated Facades
- Thermally broken brackets and rails that minimize thermal bridging through the cladding attachment.
- Modular system with intermittent structural attachment options for a wide range of wall assemblies.
- Purpose-built for rear-ventilated rainscreen facades — supports the cladding while preserving the drainage cavity.
- Elevates the thermal efficiency of the whole wall, reducing energy consumption and operational carbon.
- Compatible with metal, ACM, fiber cement, and architectural panel cladding systems.
The thermal brake system is the framework behind our rainscreen systems and metal & ACM panel facades — part of the complete building envelope.
