Putting Focus on the Frame
FortMax™ Thermal Barrier
The FortMax™ thermal barrier is the core of FreMarq’s high-performance framing systems. It completely isolates the interior and exterior aluminum components, eliminating conductive heat paths through the frame. This advanced thermal break dramatically reduces energy transfer, condensation risk, and occupant discomfort, allowing our systems to achieve industry-leading performance levels that help buildings meet demanding energy codes and sustainability goals.
Prevent Energy Transfer
Performance Starts with the Frame
By eliminating the framing as the weak link in curtain wall performance, this innovative barrier enhances the value of the glass and improves the overall assembly performance.
Without a high-performance frame, high-performance glass can not perform to the best of its ability.
Benefits
Structural Benefits
- 100% flexural memory
- Flexural modulus 10 times greater than that of polyamide
- No creep under load-fastener creep is non-existent
- Bending modulus comparable to aluminum
- Lighter than aluminum but just as stiff
Thermal Benefits
- 900 times more energy efficient than aluminum
- Lower thermal conductivity than polyamide
- Does not sacrifice the structural performance of the system
Additional Benefits
- Class A & B flame spread rating (ASTM E84)
- 100% REUSABLE – Unique slide-in design with mechanical attachment allows profiles to be removed and reused.
- Profiles can be customized to accommodate any design requirements. This includes retrofitting pressure bar systems in existing buildings to increase thermal performance and drastically reduce embodied carbon.
