Dämmprofile

Dämmprofile, also known as insulation profiles or thermal break profiles, are components used in construction, primarily in window and door manufacturing. They are designed to reduce heat transfer between the interior and exterior of a building. Typically made from materials with poor thermal conductivity, such as plastic or polyamide, these profiles act as a barrier to thermal bridging.

The primary function of a Dämmprofil is to break the continuous path of conductive material that would otherwise allow heat to escape in winter or enter in summer. In the context of window and door frames, they are often inserted between two pieces of metal, creating a thermal break. This significantly improves the energy efficiency of the entire fenestration product. By minimizing heat loss and gain, Dämmprofile contribute to a more comfortable indoor environment and can lead to reduced heating and cooling costs for the building.

The selection of Dämmprofile depends on various factors, including the desired level of thermal insulation, the structural requirements of the frame, and environmental considerations. Their use is a key element in achieving modern energy efficiency standards for buildings.
