Thermal bridge

Thermal bridge is when heat (hot or cold) can easily pass from one place to another through something. Think of it like a bridge. The 'bridge' is a material that the heat passes through. The two places on either side of the bridge are the two different temperatures. The bridge is like a 'shortcut' for the heat to follow, and it helps the heat move quickly.
