About the Certified Thermal Details and Products Scheme
The Certified Thermal Details and Products Scheme provides a non-government database for independently assessed thermal junction details.
As required for Building Regulations/Standards compliance in relation to Thermal Bridging, the Scheme and database allows users ongoing independent, third party assessment and certification of the ‘as designed’ thermal performance of:
Building junction details (e.g. SAP Table K1 + some bespoke detail types)
Opening products (e.g. windows, doors and rooflights)
Major (plane) building elements (e.g. wall, roof and floor products)
This ensures that the performance requirements of the appropriate standards are met and maintained.
Why is thermal bridging important?
A thermal bridge, also called a cold bridge, is an area of a building construction which has a significantly higher heat transfer than the surrounding materials. This is typically where there is either a break in the insulation, less insulation or the insulation is penetrated by an element with a higher thermal conductivity.
