THERMOBLOK® – BASIC Frontal Inspection is a thermal insulation monoblock designed for the installation of roller-type sunshades with front inspection from the inside. The system guarantees high thermal insulation performance, continuity of the building envelope and simple, precise and quick installation of the window unit. The system comprises a thermally insulated roller shutter box, side panels and a fourth side panel – perfectly integrated components that help reduce thermal bridges and improve the energy efficiency of the window opening.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
The roller shutter box is made from EPS Neopor (sintered expanded polystyrene with added graphite) with a density of 30 kg/m³ and a declared thermal conductivity of λD = 0.030 W/mK. The structure is reinforced with multi-ply timber inserts, ensuring strength and ease of fixing. The system is designed to allow front inspection from the inside via a dedicated structural window, finished with Neopor® EPS edges that ensure uniform support for the closure panel.
The system is completed by the TBK ZERO TOUCH® thermal insulation cover, the innovative magnetic closure system designed to ensure high insulation performance, ease of access and seamless aesthetic integration with interior spaces. The system comprises an external magnetic cover with a ‘Touch’ opening mechanism, free from gaps and protrusions thanks to its frameless aluminium profile, and an internal cover insulated with EPS, designed to enhance thermal and acoustic insulation. The airtight seal helps to minimise draughts, whilst the paintable finish allows the system to blend seamlessly with the interior walls, making the inspection point virtually invisible.
Alternatively, the monoblock can be configured with the traditional TBK STD thermal insulation cover, consisting of an overlapping front cover panel made of 30 mm of EPS Neopor bonded to a 14 mm water-repellent MDF panel, which can be painted to match the interior walls. The mechanical fixing system using screws, which are subsequently concealed by special screw covers, ensures easy inspection and a neat finish.
The TBK Type 90 thermal insulation side panels, also made from Neopor EPS with a structural core of plywood, incorporate the extruded aluminium guide for the roller shutter and the special plaster-bearing profiles, ensuring the façade is properly skim-coated, delivering high insulation performance and seamless integration with external thermal insulation composite systems.
The TBK Type 80 thermal insulation side panel, made from high-density XPS, completes the window assembly by eliminating the lower thermal bridge. It is designed to accommodate the window sill and is supplied with a dedicated thermal break in XPS for windows and in Purenit for French windows.
The system can be supplemented with numerous optional extras, including provision for a recessed fly screen via a special aluminium profile and the TBK skimming system, comprising external wall insulation mortar, a plaster-reinforcing mesh and technical PVC profiles to ensure professional installation and a finish that blends seamlessly with the façade.
THERMAL PERFORMANCE
Thermal transmittance of the roller shutter box (Usb): 0.51 W/(m²K) in accordance with UNI EN ISO 10077-2.
Linear thermal transmittance of the side panel (Ψ): 0.000 W/(mK) without external insulation and 0.0029 W/(mK) with external insulation, in accordance with UNI EN ISO 10211.
Linear thermal transmittance of the fourth side (Ψ): 0.010 W/(mK) without external insulation and 0.15 W/(mK) with external insulation, in accordance with UNI EN ISO 10211.
