How Material Thickness Affects Tensile Strength in Continuous Insulation Systems
The structural integrity of modern building envelopes depends on a critical factor: the relationship between material thickness and tensile strength in continuous insulation attachment systems. As building codes demand higher […]
Finally, Continuous Insulation That Keeps Up with the Speed of Modular Construction
The 2021 IECC now requires continuous insulation across all building types, and that requirement applies to modular construction. For manufacturers whose workflows were built around older code, this isn’t a […]
Stadium Construction: How To Deliver Thermal Efficiency at Scale
For expansive buildings, such as stadiums, structural stability and occupant comfort are essential success factors. Stadiums house thousands of people under one “roof,” and need to provide an environment that […]

No matter what kind of building you are designing for, the GreenGirt CMH™ continuous insulation and SMARTci® building enclosure systems are available to help your next project succeed by providing […]
Continuous Insulation for Terracotta Cladding
The GreenGirt CMH™ continuous insulation system is durable enough to handle any cladding weight and materials, including terracotta’s heavyweight design. This article explains the benefits of using GreenGirt CMH with […]
Window Thermal Bridging: How To Close the Gap at Every Opening
Legacy framing systems fail to eliminate thermal bridging at the most crucial points for thermal loss in any building: windows and openings. Ignoring this issue results in thermal inefficiencies that […]
Continuous Insulation Z-Girt Types: How to Use the Classification Chart to Select the Right System
Selecting a continuous insulation Z-girt system can be challenging due to the wide variety of systems available. Each system is suited for different project needs, such as location, building codes, […]
Mechanical Testing: Harnessing the Capabilities of Building Materials
In the world of construction, there’s no room for error. The stability and safety of a structure hinge on meticulous planning and rigorous testing practices. Advanced Architectural Products’ (A2P) dedication […]
FRP Materials: The Impact of Screw Pull-Out in Construction
Screw pull-out, or the phenomenon where a screw is extracted from its bind due to stress or strain, can significantly compromise the integrity of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials in construction. […]
