AMI offers a range of additional services for many applications.  Custom brake metal and fabrication services have been used for building cladding, roof flashings and even roofing assemblies to name a few. Some anodized break metal shapes have even been used to complete an interior decorator's vision for a clean and modern commercial space. Thermal strut and de-bridging is a process that improves the thermal performance of aluminum extrusion.  If you have a custom extruded product call us to explore the options for thermally improving your product.

Process of thermally separating the interior and exterior sides of an extrusion using additive and then subtractive methods. With the addition of a urethane poured into a channel near the center of an extrusion to act as a dissimilar and less conductive material thermal energy is disrupted when moving from one side of the extrusion to the other.

To improve the performance even more once the urethane is hard the remaining aluminum connecting the interior of the shape to the exterior is removed to creating a completely thermally debridged extrusion. Thermally debridging an extrusion can alleviate condensation issues and improve the performance and life of building mechanical systems.
