What is a Thermal Bridge?
A thermal bridge is a localised area within a building's envelope where heat flows more easily compared to surrounding areas. These typically occur at structural junctions, such as where walls meet roofs, around windows and doors, and at floor junctions.
Without proper attention, thermal bridges can lead to significant heat loss, reduced energy efficiency, and even issues like condensation or mould.
Minimising Heat Loss Through Design
At Setanta Construction, we understand that effective energy performance requires more than just insulation; it also depends on excellent thermal detailing. Through careful planning and precision in design, we work to reduce heat loss from thermal bridges to near zero.
We are proud to be one of the very few companies in Northern Ireland with in-house expertise to calculate thermal bridge heat loss. This allows us to design and build homes with outstanding thermal performance from the ground up.
Why It Matters
🔒 Lower Energy Bills – Reduced heat loss means your home retains warmth more efficiently.
🌡️ Consistent Indoor Comfort – Eliminates cold spots and temperature fluctuations.
🏡 Improved Building Longevity – Reduces the risk of moisture build-up and mould.
♻️ Sustainability – Supports your energy-efficiency goals and environmental targets.
Built-In Efficiency
By integrating high-performance thermal bridging solutions into every project, Setanta ensures each home we build is warm, efficient, and built to last.
