Continuous insulation innovation: engineering what's next
A2P technology is driving the next generation of building performance.
From its earliest advancements in wall and roof systems to its leadership in high-performance building technology, Advanced Architectural Products (A2P) continues to set the standard for continuous insulation and building envelope design. With more than 4,000 projects successfully completed, A2P represents what happens when engineering precision meets long-term performance: true continuous insulation innovation that delivers the highest performance possible in every installation.
Expanding with Purpose
Under the leadership of Founder and CEO, G. Matt Krause, A2P’s growth has been guided by a clear mission: to advance building technology through research, innovation, and proven results. The company’s headquarters in Allegan, Michigan, has expanded significantly to support its growing team and to house advanced production and engineering capabilities.
The expansion included a 20,000-square-foot research and development laboratory in nearby Hamilton, MI, where systems are analyzed for structural integrity, thermal efficiency, and long-term performance. Alongside the lab, A2P operates more than 100,000 square feet of manufacturing, operations, and administrative space, allowing for seamless integration between design, production, and quality assurance.
A2P also maintains a distribution and logistics center in Seattle/Sumner, Washington, providing national coverage and ensuring timely delivery to projects across the United States and Canada. This integrated approach connects innovation with execution and supports every stage from concept to installation.
Technology that Defines the Industry
A2P’s GreenGirt CMH, GreenGirt Steel, and SMARTci systems continue to redefine what is possible in continuous insulation. These technologies deliver unmatched performance in both structural and energy metrics. The innovative GreenGirt CMH XO structural framing system completes the continuous insulation equation, delivering unmatched thermal efficiency and structural integrity to the building’s most critical points: windows and openings.
Industry recognition continues to follow. A2P’s systems have been honored by respected organizations and publications for product innovation, engineering design, and material excellence. Each award underscores the company’s position as a technological leader and its ongoing contribution to the evolution of building science.
Research, Testing, and Confidence
A2P’s success is built on a deep foundation of research and validation. Each system undergoes extensive testing to confirm structural reliability and thermal performance under real-world conditions. The company’s R&D facility serves as both a proving ground and a creative center for future innovation, where each idea is tested, refined, and engineered into dependable technology.
Advanced Architectural Products stands at the forefront of continuous insulation technology, defining the standards that shape the industry’s future. Our commitment to innovative research and industry best practices ensures that every A2P solution delivers measurable performance, structural confidence, and lasting durability.
Building What's Next
A2P continues to grow as both a company and an industry leader. Recognition by Inc. Magazine as one of America’s Fastest Growing Companies reflects not only its expansion but also the trust earned through consistent performance.
The company continues to introduce new products, materials, and systems that advance the science of building envelopes while maintaining the values that define its success: innovation, practicality, and reliability. The future of continuous insulation and building enclosure technology is already taking shape, and A2P is at the center of it.
