Advanced Architectural Products offers different customization options for the GreenGirt CMH™ continuous insulation and SMARTci® building enclosure systems. One custom option is GreenGirt CMH Smooth, which eliminates the dual compression seals of ThermaLock, resulting in a smooth surface on the top and bottom of the Z-girt. This article highlights the key facts of the smooth customization and important notes to factor in before purchasing.

GreenGirt Smooth: What You Need to Know

1. Rigid Insulation Options – While it is best practice to use custom profiled insulation with GreenGirt CMH and SMARTci systems for optimal performance, GreenGirt CMH Smooth can be used with any standard non-profiled insulation.
2. Available for Max and Optima – Both GreenGirt Max CMH™ and GreenGirt Optima CMH™ can be accommodated with the smooth customization, meeting any performance or design requirements of the project.
3. No ThermaLock technology – GreenGirt CMH Smooth lacks the dual 3-point compression seals that are included in standard GreenGirt CMH Z-girts. Eliminating the ThermaLock in turn creates the need for additional insulation retention tools, such as stick pins, washers, clips, adhesives, staples, and more, to secure the insulation.
4. Existence of Thermal Bypass – When non-routed insulation is paired with a smooth Z-girt, the airflow behind and between the insulation panels will allow thermal bypass to decrease the thermal efficiency of the system.

Conclusion

When purchasing GreenGirt CMH Smooth, it is important to consider these facts that will impact the performance of the continuous insulation system. For more information on GreenGirt CMH Smooth and ThermaLock technology, visit GreenGirt.com.
