Thermally Broken Frame
Signature Thermal Break windows and
doors use reinforced polyamide extrusions
to separate the exterior and interior of the
aluminium frame.
The reinforced polyamide extrusions act as
insulated barriers within the window and
door frames, keeping heat in during winter
and keeping heat out during summer.
Insulated Glass Unit (IGU)
IGUs are designed to improve the thermal
performance of windows and doors.
Two panes of glass separated by a sealed
air space provide a thermal break, restricting
the transfer of heat from the outside to the
inside and vice versa.
Santoprene External Seals
Santoprene seals are more durable than
standard vinyl seals, with less cracking,
shrinking and better shape retention
throughout the life of windows and doors.
With Santoprene external seals, when the
window is closed, it is sealed tight, year after
year, minimising heat loss and gain.

Signature Thermal Break
Information Booklet
One Aesthetic across different product platforms
A key feature of the Bradnams Signature Thermal Break range is its
overall visual symmetry within the range and with other Bradnams
window and door products.
This consistency in style and nish eliminates any visual clashes and
provides a clean, consistent nish throughout a house.
Customers can mix and match products from any one of the
Bradnams Essential, Signature, Commercial or Thermal Break
ranges and know there will be aesthetic sympathy amongst the
windows and doors.
This is a radical departure from the traditional design process, which
treat different classes of product as stand-alone, separate entities from
a design perspective.
With Bradnams Signature Thermal Break, superior energy performance
can be achieved without compromising the aesthetics of a house.
