TBK THERMOBLOK® – Skuro BASIC Thermally insulated shutter box for solid shutters

THERMOBLOK® – Skuro BASIC 90 is a thermal insulation monoblock designed to house hinged shutters and blinds, engineered to ensure high thermal insulation performance, continuity of the building envelope and precise, secure installation of the shading system.‎ Fully made to measure, it can be configured for the installation of the window or door frame either flush with the internal wall or centred, adapting to specific design requirements.‎ The window or shutter frame is recessed on three sides and, where the wall construction allows, the system can also be configured to accommodate a fly screen recessed on three sides.‎ The front rebates are available in 72 mm or 54 mm configurations, whilst the fourth side, an 80 mm recessed rebate, is fitted with a dedicated thermal break.‎ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: The system is made from Neopor® EPS (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 top cross-member and side walls incorporate an 18 mm plywood load-bearing structure, which ensures strength, precision during installation and continuous insulation of the window opening.‎ The integrated sub-frame allows the window or shutter to be fitted either flush with the internal wall or centred.‎ The distinctive feature of the system is the perimeter structure designed to anchor the hinges, ensuring a secure and long-lasting fixing of the shutters or blinds.‎ The monoblock is available in two configurations: P version, with a continuous 57 × 60 mm Purenit® perimeter strip, designed for fixing the hinges using chemical anchors, either on the window reveal or on the façade.‎ Version L, with a continuous 57 × 60 mm laminated timber perimeter strip, which allows the hinges to be fixed using wood screws, with fastening systems suitable for the wall substrate.‎ The TBK Skuro BASIC 90 thermal insulation side walls, 90 mm thick and with a depth that varies according to the project, help to reduce thermal bridges and ensure the correct installation of both the window unit and the shading system.‎ The fourth thermal insulation side, the TBK Type 80, made from high-density XPS, completes the window assembly by eliminating the lower thermal bridge.‎ The special recessed design facilitates assembly with the side jambs and is designed to accommodate the window sill.‎ The system 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 skim-coating 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 Linear thermal transmittance of the jamb (Ψ): 0.‎000 W/(mK) without external insulation and 0.‎019 W/(mK) with external insulation, in accordance with UNI EN ISO 10211.‎ Linear thermal transmittance of the fourth side (Ψ): 0.‎044 W/(mK) without external insulation and 0.‎17 W/(mK) with external insulation, in accordance with UNI EN ISO 10211.‎ THERMOBLOK® is the professional range of prefabricated thermal insulation monoblocks for window openings, designed and patented by TBK to offer a comprehensive, efficient and bespoke solution for window and door installation.‎ Drawing on experience gained in the window opening sector, the THERMOBLOK® range allows all the functional elements of the window opening – roller shutter box, side jambs, fourth side and accessories – to be integrated into a single system, ensuring continuous insulation and effectively reducing thermal bridges.‎ THERMOBLOK® is designed and manufactured to measure, according to the building’s characteristics, the wall’s construction and the specific requirements of the building site.‎ This bespoke design ensures high performance, simplified installation and seamless integration with the building system.‎ The range includes various configurations to meet a wide variety of design requirements, whilst maintaining the same high quality standards in terms of thermal insulation, durability, construction precision and ease of installation.‎ Why choose THERMOBLOK® A system designed and patented by TBK.‎ Fully bespoke monoblocks.‎ Reduction of thermal bridges around the window opening.‎ Integration of the roller shutter box, side panels, fourth side and accessories into a single system.‎ Suitable for both new builds and energy-efficiency refurbishment projects.‎ Solutions that can be customised to meet the architectural and performance requirements of the project.‎ High-quality construction and ease of installation.‎ THERMOBLOK® is TBK’s solution for creating a high-performance window opening, combining energy efficiency, build quality and maximum design freedom.‎ Further info from manufacturer on THERMOBLOK® – Skuro BASIC TBK
