STRUKTRA™ Structural Thermal Breaks

We present STRUKTRA™, the highest performance Structural Thermal Break on the market.

  • BBA, ETA, BRE and Passivhaus certified
  • No specialised design tools required, treat like a steel packer plate in standard, compact EC3 connections
  • Unrivalled structural capacity and rotational stiffness means fewer and smaller thermal bridge connections in the building envelope
  • A 25 mm thick STRUKTRA™ plate is proven to have up to 18% less energy loss than an 80 mm thick stainless steel mechanical alternative
  • One solution for all types of connections, from load-bearing columns, facades and balconies to external staircases in steel, reinforced concrete and timber constructions
  • Thermal modelling services to support design optimisation
  • Available as a plugin in Tekla
  • Manufactured by Farrat in the UK and Germany, customised to your needs with fast delivery and traceability
  • Easy and quick to install
  • Farrat TBF is an A2,s1,d0 rated non-combustible material

STRUKTRA™ is the favourite with specifiers and contractors, as demonstrated by thousands of projects worldwide, many of which have been awarded the highest sustainability seals such as LEED Gold, BREEAM Outstanding, WELL Gold and more.

The best performing structural thermal break available on the market

After several years of detailed study involving Farrat’s in-house 3D thermal modelling, a PhD with a full-scale physical test at the University of Salford’s world-famous Energy House, and finally commissioning the renowned Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics in Stuttgart to verify the results, we were able to conclusively demonstrate that STRUKTRA™, with its world class structural and thermal properties, offers the best way to manage load bearing thermal bridges in building envelopes.

Orders & manufacturing

STRUKTRA™ Farrat’s structural thermal breaks are manufactured to your specific requirements. You send us your drawings and we manufacture them under strict BBA quality control. Depending on quantity, delivery can be next day or usually within 3 working days of order placement.

A fully dimensioned drawing for each plate with a clear project reference is usually required prior to manufacture.

Ensuring that you receive the correct product in time for your installation is an integral part of our service offering and is embedded in our BBA mark as well as ISO 9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 certifications. This includes:

  1. Checking the drawings against the quotation and customer order
  2. 4-eyes check of the CNC programme
  3. Visual and dimensional inspection of the manufactured products
  4. Each item is then labelled individually so that it can be easily identified on site and traceability back to the manufacturer of the raw material is guaranteed.
