The Strukko StandFast® 1400 series is a thermal insulation space/thickness reduction product designed to achieve very low U-values, making it highly effective in reducing heat transfer.
Here are some ways it helps achieve U-values between 0.134 W/m²·K and 0.066 W/m²·K:
1. High Thermal Resistance Materials: The Strukko StandFast® 1400 series wall build up utilizes advanced materials with high thermal resistance. These materials have low thermal conductivity, which reduces the amount of heat that can pass through the insulation.
2. Multi-Layered Insulation: The series may incorporate multiple layers of insulation, which enhances its ability to trap heat. Each layer provides an additional barrier to heat flow, further lowering the overall U-value.
3. Precision Engineering: The Strukko StandFast® 1400 series is likely manufactured with precise engineering standards to ensure minimal thermal bridging. This means that areas where heat could potentially pass through more easily (like joints and gaps) are minimized or eliminated.
4. Reflective Surfaces: Some advanced insulation products include reflective surfaces that reflect radiant heat away from the building, contributing to lower U-values.
5. Dense Material Composition: The density of the insulation material can play a significant role in its thermal performance. The Strukko StandFast® 1400 series likely uses a dense composition to provide effective thermal resistance.
6. Integration with Building Systems: This series can be designed to integrate seamlessly with other building systems to maximize thermal performance. Proper installation is crucial to avoid gaps and ensure the insulation performs as intended.
By incorporating these features, the Strukko StandFast® 1400 series helps achieve exceptionally low U-values, thereby enhancing the energy efficiency of buildings and reducing heating and cooling costs.
