An installer’s dream: GreenGirt CMH and SMARTci systems designed for hassle-free installation
Resources for general contractors, subcontractors, installers, and purchasing teams to ensure efficient, economical, and hassle-free delivery/installation.
Designed by Installers for Installers
Engineered for efficiency and hassle-free installation; to accelerate the timeline to building occupancy.
Equipped with unique insights and practical expertise from installing sub-framing and cladding systems, the GreenGirt CMH and SMARTci systems were designed by installers for installers, with a deep understanding of what works and what doesn’t on the jobsite. Plus, all of the systems feature interlocking cantilevers designed for structural integrity and ease of installation.
The GreenGirt CMH continuous insulation systems are compatible with any type of insulation, and the SMARTci building enclosure systems include custom-routed, pre-cut rigid insulation – nearly eliminating the need for onsite insulation cutting, routing, or other adjustments. Furthermore, the systems eliminate the need for insulation retention tools/stickpins and are engineered for compatibility with a range of GreenGirt and SMARTci accessories, further compounding time and cost savings while accelerating the timeline to building occupancy.
Best Practices
After thorough testing and based on years of experience, the eight best practices for continuous insulation systems are defined as: structural integrity, thermal efficiency, fastener retention, durability, fire resistance, environmental impact, building health, and ease of installation.
Specification
The evolution of CMH systems has been guided by rigorous standard specifications. Advanced Architectural Products’ GreenGirt CMH continuous insulation systems and SMARTci building enclosure systems have always met and exceeded those standards – obtain standard specifications in the Technical Library.
Research & Development
Advanced Architectural Products is committed to engineering durable, energy-efficient, and sustainable continuous insulation and building enclosure systems through on-going and rigorous research, development, and collaboration.
Classification of Continuous Insulation Z-Girts
Continuous insulation Z-girts are categorized into three distinct classes based on their ability to meet key performance criteria. These criteria include structural capacity, structural performance, thermal efficiency, fire resistance, and the durability of connections over the building’s lifecycle. Each class represents a different level of performance, allowing designers, contractors, and installers to select the most suitable system for their project’s specific demands and requirements.
