Thermakraft Industries (N.Z.) Ltd celebrated 24 years of successful marketing of building and construction membranes.  In this age of air conditioning and tight moisture proofing of domestic domestic and commercial building it is most important to insulate with such products as fibreglass, polyesters and polystyrenes etc.  These products will not function efficiently unless serious consideration is maintained on the use of vapour and moisture barriers.  Thermakraft are the experts in providing these components in various forms such as:

1.    Thermakraft Reflective Aluminium Foils which not only provide excellent vapour barriers to keep mass insulation dry but is a serious insulation medium (just think of our spacemen with reflective foil suits).

2.    Water Resistant Breathable Bituminous Papers for roofing.

3.    The new synthetic high strength Thermakraft Covertek rot and water resistant roofing and wall wraps which breathe allowing vapour laden air to flow but will restrict water entry.  This

Non-Woven and Breathable Film Tri-Laminate is state of the nation manufacturing using German technology machinery which is installed here at Thermakraft and is the only machine in Australasia for new developing countries.

Thermakraft has designed a low cost Reflective Foil Laminating Plant which uses low cost blown bitumen as its adhesive.  Incidentally, we still laminate products using a similar model which has been successfully laminating Double Sided Reflective Aluminium Foils in one pass through the machine and is still in service after 18 years.  We would be very interested in supplying a turn-key operation for Peru or Chile where Reflective Aluminium Foil Insulation is widely used in commercial and domestic construction as an efficient low cost insulation medium.  We supplied a successful operation in Malaysia 12 years ago.

We design Bitumen Saturation Machines and as well as Non-Bituminous Laminations using woven and plastic films.  Should any company outside Peru or Chile that are contemplating an expansion into Foil Laminates please contact the experts at Thermakraft Industries.  We ask that you view our website www.thermakraft.co.nz for a full preview of our construction membranes.
