Triple extruded welds
The Thermal Design features the industry-leading, factory-made triple-extrusion welding process that ensures the right seam strength, durability and appearance, and has unique pressure resistance to ensure very low vapor permeability. Ideal for minimizing air intrusion and maintaining vapor barrier integrity throughout the shell assembly, as opposed to the thousands of hidden, unsealed tacking holes or lap joints typical of face insulation and seam-in-place methods.

Syseal™ fabric colors
Thermal Design offers the most color design options of any other vendor in the industry and places great emphasis on quality control to provide a consistent and reliable product. Syseal White has certainly been the most popular material for standard applications over the past two decades. Sports facilities and lighting enthusiasts particularly appreciate our Syseal Super White due to its high reflectivity; while Syseal Black remains the preferred option to hide the roof in desired applications. Syseal Silver Aspen and Toni Taupe™ are gaining in popularity due to their uniqueness and cost savings, eliminating the need for painting and refinishing.

Standard options for Syseal™ fall protection

• Syseal™ Branco
• Syseal™ Super Branco
• Syseal™ Toni Taupe™
• Syseal™ Silver Aspen
• Syseal™ That's why
• Syseal™ Waldgrün

Information on fabrics in special colors is available on request. Unique fabric and/or UVMAX handle color schemes are design options available to designers. Thermal Design recommends not painting Syseal fabric.

Perforated Syseal™ fabric (optional)
Depending on the need and placement of the vapor retarder, the Syseal™ fabric can also be perforated for special construction conditions and not serve as a vapor retarder. Upon request, Thermal Design will supply custom fabric pieces drilled with a minimum of 3/16" holes spaced no more than 10" apart in any direction. Our perforated fabric is a popular choice for facilities that have indoor ice rinks (hockey, curling, etc.). The requirements of this type of building are unique and Thermal Design offers a variety of design solutions.See Simple Saver System Indoor Ice Arena specificationand contact us for other key points to consider when comparing design ideas.

Containers on spools and tape are continuous length (approximately 1,400 ft of casing) meaning no on-site splicing is required. The coils are oscillatingly wound and are of an ideal weight to facilitate handling and increase productivity.

- No on-site splicing required
- UVMAX strips are primed and painted in the color specified to match or complement the fabric color specified:

• Toni Taupe™
• white poplar
• For this
• Branco

Other belt options are available upon request (stainless steel, polyester plastic and/or special belt dimensions). Tell us more about the use and condition of your building and we will offer you options that suit your needs.

Fast-R™

Fast-R™Wall Insulation Hangers are 23.5 inch long preformed galvanized steel strips with perforated barbed darts placed every 20 cm down the center. Fast-R hangers hang in the wall cavity between the studs and the insulation panels. Wall. Uncoated, uncompressed fiberglass insulation is impaled arrows. This holds the insulation in a permanent position and maintains the shape and position of the fiberglass material within the jacketed cavity. For narrow jacketed gaps such as 24 inches, supports may not be required if the insulation is self-supporting.

• Faster installation
• No measuring, straightening or cutting
• Hart

Snap-R™

Snap-R thermal spacer blocks are made of polystyrene material and have a different shape than typical building manufacturer thermal spacer blocks. Our unique design allows the installer to attach the thermal block to the purlin flange (or strap) without worrying about the wind blowing it during installation. In fact, in most situations, the installer can stay in one position and slide each 24-inch long Snap-R the full length of the purlin.

• unique design
• snap and slide
• will not explode
• Creates additional cavity
• Provides a thermal break

Installing fiberglass insulation over the Snap-R Heat Block is not normally recommended. Ideal use is to provide additional void space, typically for full thickness single layer insulation assemblies and for use on internal or external flanges. Snap-R increases the performance of the entire insulation assembly as it eliminates direct contact between the steel plates and the purlin or belt, minimizing heat transfer.

Dimensions

Standard thicknesses above the flange are 3/8" and 1" which accommodates a 3" purlin flange. Other thicknesses, lengths and widths are available on request. Call Thermal Design at 800-255-0776 to find the right size and style of thermal block to meet your needs.

Free Quik Stop Trash™

Paperless, thermally broken Quik-Stop Trash Free™ tape is the industry's fastest, cleanest method of applying insulating foam tape to metal structure purlins and flanges, minimizing conductive paths between metal plates and metal frames.

Thermal Design has overhauled the design and application with a special adhesive film that is applied directly to the inside of the foam tape roll, allowing the installer to easily apply it to the frame as it unrolls, again eliminating the need to peel and remove cluttered backing paper and paper time-consuming cleanup of the project page.

Quik-Stop Trash Free, used for new or retrofit applications, is available on all Thermal Design insulation liner systems, includingSimple Saver System™is the newAutoCeil™Ceiling and wall insulation system. It is an integral part of Thermal Design's metal structure insulation wall cladding systems to meet and exceed the latest and most stringent IECC and ASHRAE standards 90.1-2016 National Model Energy Codes of 2015 without the listed mandatory and expensive continuous insulation assemblies. ci” to integrate.

Quik-Stop™

The Paper Release-Backed Quik-Stop Thermal Break is a 3/16 inch thick self-adhesive foam insulation tape that is applied the full length of the purlin/belt flanges to minimize conductive paths between the metal plates and the metal frame. It is easily applied to clean, dry surfaces and can be used on internal or external flanges depending on building requirements. Quik-Stop is highly recommended for Simple Saver single coat roof and wall applications and is very suitable for retrofit applications. Please contact Thermal Design for details on your specific application.

Sealants

The Simple Saver System recommends a variety of sealants depending on the structure, condition, use and needs of the building. They are used to seal the perimeter edges of fabric liner (vapour retardant) to adjacent main frames and eave supports. Thermal Design has done a tremendous amount of research and testing to determine what is the most effective and cost effective insulation system sealant. Replacement of non-quality controlled sealants by Thermal Design is not recommended and may void the warranty.

system seal™repair tape

Mistakes happen - don't worry. Syseal™ Repair Tape is an adhesive made from Syseal™ fabric covering materials used in Thermal Design fabric covering systems. They are made from the same FHC Class A (fire rating) fabric quality and are of comparable strength, although there may be slight color variations. Our goal in quality control is to match quality and color as closely as possible to the processes (Syseal™ White, Super White, Silver Aspen, Black, Toni Taupe™). While very little repair tape is required for most applications and installations, it is useful for patching kerfs and holes. Also, it may be necessary to use repair tape when installing around welded struts or other protrusions that cannot be loosened and replaced.

closures

Our chrome-plated and self-drilling fasteners are color-coordinated with each curtain wall system order. Fasteners supplied with the Simple Saver System™ also feature a color-matched washer. Special fasteners for wood, concrete and other types of structures are available from Thermal Design and should be used where appropriate. Depending on your installation needs, we offer over a dozen different types of fasteners. Contact thermal design for special insulation attachments for additional insulation thicknesses.

clamps

• reliable sealing
• Faster installation
• clean look

Maintaining the integrity of Syseal^™A vapor barrier around the beam mount is easily accomplished using approved 90° beam mount clips that attach to the underside of the purlin flange. This type of connection provides a reliable seal and speeds up installation as the vapor control layer does not have to be cut where the carrier bracket normally protrudes through the lower level of the purlin.

Cane clips are 14 gauge. Other gauges and lengths are available by special order. Standard colors for strap clips are white and black powder coated. Four (4) color-matched fasteners are included with each clip.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Consult your building fabricator for structural support bracket requirements before installing and using these alternative support brackets. Many building manufacturers have their own preferred mounting clip designs for use with cladding systems.

Additional connection optionsare available upon request and are detailed in the Simple Saver System™ Design Manual. These fastening methods are routinely approved by building fabricators for use with Thermal Design's Simple Saver System. Contractors must consult the building fabricator for connection and clamp requirements.
