• is the capacity of a material or structure axially directed pushing forces. When the limit of compressive strength is reached, materials are crushed (source: wikipedia.com). Cellecta’s range of high performance YELOFOAM X andeco XPS thermal insulation products feature high kPa values (compressive strength) allowing them to withstand heavy loads.

• is a thermally conductive material which pentrates or bypasses an insulation system; such as a metal fastener, concrete beam, slab or column. Heat will flow along the easiest path from the heated space to the outside – the path with the least resistance. This will not necessarily be the path perpendicular to the surfaces. Frequently heat with “short-circuit” through an element which has a much higher conductivity than surrounding material, which can be described as a thermal bridge.

Typical effect of thermal bridges are:

• Decreased interior surface tempetatures, in the worst cases this can result in condensation problems, particularly at corners.
• Significantly increased heat losses and cold areas in buildings

• This is a measure of the rate at which material will pass heat and is expressed in units of watts per metre per degree of temperature diffence (W/mk) To browse our range of solutions click here. 

• This is a measure of how much heat will pass through a square metre of a structure when the air temperatures on either side differ by one degree. U-values are expressed in units of watts per square metre per degree of temperature difference (W/m2k)

• This is a measure of the total heat loss expected from all of the thermal bridge losses in all of the junctions in the building.
