Ensinger’s Insulbar thermal technology is designed to lower building operating costs by reducing energy loss without sacrificing any structural or design requirements. Insulbar increases the insulating value of windows, doors, skylights, and curtain walls. Under testing conditions, Insulbar has shown more than 500 percent more thermal efficiency than non-thermally broken aluminum, according to the company. Insulbar profiles can be custom designed to meet project specifications and can result in total window u-value ratings of .2 or lower, exceeding current ICC thermal and CRF standards.
