Thermal Breaks
Experts in thermal isolation and precision levelling solutions.
Thermal Breaks Limited is committed to supplying a high quality product. Manufactured from premium quality materials, in a range of grades to suit the customer needs.
We engrave all our parts with material grade and part number upon request, making locating and fitting easier at site. We can offer advice on materials to suit special applications and will work with customers to achieve their desired end result.
Steel to Steel
Thermal breaks are used in a steel to steel application to prevent thermal transfer from the exterior of a structure, in to the internal structure via the steel framework. The amount of thermal transfer depends on the thickness and material used in the thermal break.
Steel to Concrete
Steel to Concrete
Use of a thermal break in a steel to concrete application greatly reduces heat loss into the concrete foundation or slab. Providing better insulation for the structure. Certain materials can also provide a level of damp proofing.
Vibration Isolation
Vibration isolation of impact machinery is crucial to minimize the transmission of vibrations
Generated by the machinery to the surrounding structure and to reduce the negative effects of those vibrations.
Impact machinery, such as presses can produce high-intensity vibrations that can lead to equipment damage, noise, and structural issues if not properly isolated.
MATEC Trade Solutions Isolated Foundations are used in many applications to ensure the operating conditions are controlled to within equipment specifications, to maximize productivity and to conform to H&S and local authority requirements.
Resilient Mounts
Resilient mounts, also known as vibration isolators or shock mounts, are commonly used to isolate impact machinery. These mounts are typically made of elastomeric materials, such as rubber or neoprene, which absorb and dissipate vibrations. Resilient mounts are installed between the machinery and its foundation or support structure, effectively decoupling the machinery from the surrounding environment and reducing vibration transmission.
Elastomeric isolators
Elastomeric isolators, also known as vibration isolators or mounts, are widely used to isolate and reduce vibrations. These isolators consist of rubber or elastomeric materials that absorb and dissipate vibrations. They are often used to isolate equipment, such as HVAC systems, generators, or heavy machinery, from the building structure. We use a combination of materials designed and manufactured by our inhouse team of specialists. We actively encourage our customers to engage with us as early as possible in the design process so we can add value gained from decades of engineering experience built in numerous environments and locations.
Our engineering capabilities
Proper maintenance of impact machinery is crucial for ensuring its optimal performance and minimizing vibration issues. Regular inspections, alignments, lubrication, and balancing of rotating components can help identify and address any potential vibration problems before they escalate.
We recommend an initial consultation with vibration control specialists, structural engineers, or machinery manufacturers to develop an effective vibration isolation plan tailored to the specific requirements of the impact machinery and the surrounding structure. They can provide expertise in assessing vibration characteristics, selecting appropriate isolation techniques, and ensuring compliance with relevant safety standards.
Anti-vibration materials are used on machinery to reduce or dampen the transmission of vibrations
Caused by various sources, such as machinery, traffic, or nearby construction.
Our range of materials help protect the structure, its occupants and neighbors from the negative effects of vibration.
Acoustic Isolation
Fit-out and Decorative Acoustic Isolation Solutions
SOUND INSULATION
Sound insulation/proofing and sound absorption are two different concepts. In modern building structures, the Sound Insulating/proofing materials are dense and heavy, while the Sound Absorbing materials are porous and light. Soundproof insulation in Dubai is a key element in enhancing the overall acoustic performance of a space. The main function of sound insulation/proofing materials that include Acoustic Ceiling, Acoustic Floor, and Acoustic Doors is to block the sound from entering or leaving a space, whereas sound absorbing material is used to improve the sound acoustics in a space such as reducing echo and reverberations.
Sound Insulation or materials such as Acoustic Foam in Dubai used to block sound are placed inside the wall or ceiling to make Acoustic walls or Ceilings in Dubai. Sound-absorbing material can be applied on the wall or ceiling itself and or designs and colors allow them to integrate into the overall interior design as a decorative feature. For effective sound management, it is essential to consider reliable solutions provided by a Sound proof Supplier in Dubai. These professionals offer a range of Sound proof Material in Dubai such as Acoustic Panels that cater to diverse needs.
There are three factors to generate and transmit the noise: Noise source, propagation path and receiver. Most adults can hear the noise with frequency range from 100HZ to 4000HZ. The frequency of conversation and common noise in the buildings is basically 125HZ to 4000HZ. The wall sound reduction STC refers to the sound insulation capability of wall to the noise within the range of 125 HZ TO 4000HZ.
Basically, Acoustic insulation in Dubai plays a crucial role in creating a comfortable and noise-free environment.
DECIBEL
Decibel (DB) is a unit used for expressing the sound relative intensity. Physically, the defined reference acoustic pressure(P0=2X10-5pa) corresponds to ODB. If the noise pressure is P, the noise decibel is equal to 20log(P/PO)/ So decibel is a designated unit. Similar to an earthquake’s magnitude, the higher the number is on the scale the more intense the noise will be.
SOUND REDUCTION INDEX
The sound insulation function of a material is the capability to reduce the noise intensity. If the sound of one room is 75DB, the sound transmitted to the adjacent room through the wall will be reduced to 40DB. Therefore the sound insulation function of the wall is 35DB.
