Thermal break on aluminium windows on a all steel house

Page 1 of 1
Does anyone know how I could tell my builder to put thermal break on my aluminium doors and windows in my all steel construction house, once again he does not know how to do it.

Thanks for any advice

I presume in the first instance the windows you ordered have a thermal break, so you just want him to put a thermal break between the window frames and their attachment to the steel house frame?
Yes, So the steel doesn’t heat up the windows and emit it into the house

…he does not know how to do it.


So you are suggesting this is a skill deficiency rather than a reluctance? Perhaps the windows supplier could provide information, or perhaps you could have someone else undertake the window installation. Also, you could find some websites or YouTube videos that show how it is done and share them with him. In the end, it is your house and you should be getting what you want.
Timber reveals.
