Fastening brackets Compos'ITE®

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document introduces Compos’ITE® brackets, a patented innovation aimed at eliminating facade thermal bridges. Developed over five years with ADEME, these brackets address the significant thermal losses in well-insulated buildings caused by metallic brackets, particularly aluminum, which is highly conductive.

Specifications and Performance
Compos’ITE® brackets are designed for both thermal renovation and new constructions, suitable for exterior wall cladding systems. The document emphasizes the importance of using low-conductivity materials to enhance thermal performance, recommending composites over aluminum. Current French thermal regulations (RT 2012) target a thermal transmittance (Up) below 0.20 W/m².K, with future goals likely at 0.15 W/m².K. Compos’ITE® brackets can improve facade thermal performance by 3%.

Technical Performance
Using digital calculations with Trisco software, the document compares the thermal bridge coefficient (Khi) of aluminum and Compos’ITE® brackets. Aluminum brackets have a coefficient of 0.027 W/K, while Compos’ITE® brackets have a significantly lower coefficient of 0.0006 W/K. This reduction is crucial for achieving high thermal performance, especially with stricter future regulations.

Product Range and Dimensions
The Compos’ITE® bracket range includes straight brackets up to 150 mm and triangular brackets from 160 to 300 mm, designed to optimize thermal performance by minimizing the external surface area. Detailed dimensions for insulating brackets from 40 to 280 mm are provided, highlighting their adaptability to various construction needs.

Conclusion
Compos’ITE® brackets are presented as the most efficient fixation system available, crucial for meeting increasingly stringent thermal regulations. Their innovative design significantly reduces thermal bridges, enhancing overall building performance.

COMPOS'ITE® BRACKETS Breakthrough innovation, and patented, the entire range was part of a long development process, initiated by ADEME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency) more than 5 years ago. The observation, initially made by our R&D team and shared with all heating engineers, was the more well-insulated a building is, the more important the thermal loss part through isolated thermal bridges are. We talk about 15 to 35% of evaporated performance through metalic brackets. The most critical systems are the ones made of aluminium, material about 800 times more conducting than our...

COMPOS ITE® BRACKETS ICOMPOSI' "ES Characteristics / Performances To characterize our solution's performance, we used a digital calculation (finished elements methods) with the Trisco software. The results are very eloquent. The comparative value of the Khi (punctual thermal bridge - W/K) between two 200-mm brackets shows the potential of our solutions regarding the reduction of thermal bridges : Thermal bridge coefficient for an aluminium bracket is 0,027 W/K, when it's only 0,0006 W/K for a COMPOSITE® bracket. With the hypothesis of a thermal bridge density of 1,23 brackets per m2 (classic...
