ThermalBuck™
ThermalBuck™ solves a number of common issues faced by architects and builders when installing nail flange windows & doors with exterior insulation.
It extends the rough opening to create a flush plane for cladding, and insulates with an R-value of 4.4 per inch, creating a complete thermal break at every rough opening.
Coated with a waterproof resin and secured to the rough opening with an air & water barrier sealant* and nails, it’s simple to install and easier to flash than a wood buck. Dimensionally stable and strong, it will not warp, rot, or shrink, and helps to support the weight of the window. ThermalBuck™ outperforms a traditional wood buck, and protects the integrity of your window & door installation.
Available in 7 different sizes ranging from 1″ to 4″, ThermalBuck™ works with all types of exterior insulation, and/or rain screen applications: mineral wool, EPS, GPS, Polyiso, and XPS. Made up of a high-density EPS with a waterproof coating, it prevents compression of the insulation, ensuring an airtight and watertight building envelope. ThermalBuck™, the high-performance window buck, is the window mounting solution for continuous insulation.
ThermalTight™
ThermalTight™ combines two essential building envelope materials into one, easy-to-install panel: Neopor® GPS semi-vapor permeable rigid insulation by BASF, and a high-performance, self-gasketing WRB laminated to the exterior of the panel, that acts as both a water and air barrier.
The self-gasketing, vapor permeable WRB features a patented flap system to eliminate the “reverse shingle” common with panel systems that require taping on top of seams. By adhering it to the outside of the rigid foam, ThermalTight™ creates one of the most effective air & water barriers for the building envelope.
The complete ThermalTight™ System makes it easier to build better, with a wall system that solves the challenge of building airtight, watertight, continuously insulated to limit thermal bridging, and designed to stay dry while ensuring a simple, labor-saving installation process.
Backed by a 15 year warranty, the components include: ThermalTight™, ThermalBuck™, BRINC Flashing Tape, BRINC Flexible Flashing Tape, BRINC Double Sided Tape, DAP® DYNAFLEX® 800 sealant* and DAP® DRAFTSTOP® 812 spray foam.
