What is GreenGirt Steel?
A continuous insulation system designed to provide improved energy efficiency of buildings and best-in-class structural capacity — 20–50% stronger than other perforated thermal metal Z-girts. Comprised of engineered steel Z-girt sub-framing with thermal brackets, compatible accessories, and expert engineering support, the system works with any type of insulation and provides an entry-level alternative to achieve code compliant energy efficiency.
Designed for fans of steel construction, the new GreenGirt Steel system’s overlapping design is optimized to make installation a breeze and up to 2X faster than other systems. The integrated insulation retention locks eliminate the need for stick pins/fasteners to hold insulation—eliminating the thousands of thermal bridges common in systems requiring the use of stick pins/fasteners, offering the highest effective R-value for a steel-based system. GreenGirt Steel’s minimal design and integrated thermal brackets reduce energy transfer helping buildings achieve their energy efficiency goals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is GreenGirt Steel™?
GreenGirt Steel™ is a steel-based continuous insulation system designed to improve building energy efficiency while delivering best-in-class structural capacity, 20-50% stronger than other perforated thermal metal Z-girts. It consists of engineered steel Z-girt sub-framing, integrated thermal brackets/pads, compatible accessories, and expert engineering support, positioned as an entry-level option to help achieve code-compliant energy efficiency.
How does GreenGirt Steel™ compare to GreenGirt CMH™?
GreenGirt Steel™ is an entry-level, steel-based continuous insulation system: its Z-girts use integrated thermal brackets and insulation retention locks to reduce the thermal bridging created by separate fasteners. GreenGirt CMH™ goes further with a composite metal hybrid Z-girt that eliminates thermal bridging rather than just reducing it, delivering higher overall assembly thermal efficiencies as a result.
