In 2001, Emirates Extrusion pioneered the integration of Thermal Break Systems into its in-house production. Carefully designed to seamlessly fit common market accessories, our systems can be easily machined using standard workshop equipment.
A thermal break, consisting of low thermal conductivity materials, is strategically placed within the assembly to minimize the flow of thermal energy between conductive materials.
Our thermal break systems feature two independent profiles connected by ‘polyamide’ strips, creating a monolithic profile with low UV and sound transmission factors. This innovative design minimizes heat transfer between the interior and exterior of doors and windows, resulting in enhanced energy savings compared to traditional systems.
Our in-house assembly process comprises four key operations: knurling, strip feeding, crimping, and testing. This meticulous process ensures the monolithic thermal break profile’s strength against tensile, bending, twisting, and slipping.
Aluminium alloys and tempers
Emirates Extrusion produces most of customer requirements in its facilities using alloys 6061 and 6063 with T4, T5 and T6 tempers.
6061 is a precipitation hardeningg aluminum alloy, containing magnesium and silicon as its major alloying elements. It has good mechanical properties and exhibits good weldability. It is one of the most common alloys of aluminum for general purpose use.
6063 is an aluminum alloy, with magnesium and silicon as the alloying elements. It has generally good mechanical properties and is heat treatable and weldable. 6063 is mostly used in extruded shapes for architecture, particularly window frames, door frames, and roofs. It is typically produced with very smooth surfaces fit for anodizing.
- T4: Solution heat treated and naturally aged to substantially stable condition
- T5: Cooled from an elevated temperature and then artificially age hardened
- T6: Solution heat treated and artificially age hardened
