TekTherm™ AK-FR
A2 Fire-Rated Structural Thermal Break
Material Specification
TekTherm™ AK-FR Thermal Breaks are designed to be A2 Fire Rated as well as having a high compressive strength and low thermal conductivity. Compliant for use in buildings above 18m under Document B Building Regulations, this material allows specifiers to meet multiple requirements in one.
TekTherm™ AK-FR has been independently tested and meets A2-s1,d0 (Full laboratory report available on request). We can supply this as cut pads, strips or in any other shape within the parameters of the material.
