Thermal
break technology is a proven way of
enhancing the thermal performance of aluminum. Fleetwood
has successfully used this method for almost 20 years.
Here is how it works:
First,
the aluminum extrusion is designed with a pocket, which
will later receive the energy blocking substance.
Second,
the part is extruded, then tempered for hardness
and protected with either a painted or anodized
finish.
Third, the
cavity is knurled to better "grip" the
energy blocking substance which will be poured into
the pocket.
Fourth,
the pocket is filled
with molten polyurethane, which hardens in
seconds.
Finally, the back of the
pocket is removed, creating the energy block.
This
process forms a bridge that now separates the exterior
from the interior.

the aluminum extrusion is designed with a pocket, which
will later receive the energy blocking substance.
