GreenGirt Clips

GreenGirt Clip – Thermal Spacers join the building cladding and insulation to a building structure. It’s an insulated composite sub-framing component in the SMARTci assembly.

GreenGirt CMH is revolutionary in the way it eliminates the problem of thermal bridging and it boasts the highest thermal-efficiency rating in the industry at 99%+. GreenGirt Clips is a recycled building life product that will help with LEED certification.

System Components

ASHRAE 90.1 Zone specific barrier location • ASHRAE 160 specific design – passes and exceeds zone specific requirements
3 basic pieces to the GreenGirt – Simple ZTM System • Insulated structural composite material – specifically engineered for thermal and structural properties
Structural wind resistance greater than 40 pounds per square foot is possible
Retains the insulation in the field – no fasteners, no blow offs
Anti-siphon groove – eliminates water migration into seam/ both sides
Steel fastener retention strip – Utilizes industry standard fasteners that tie into adjacent attachment members to create cantilevered compatibility with integrated exterior metal fastening grid that is thermally isolated and increase performance by distributing the loading throughout the composite section
Force distribution zones FEA designed for optimal strength (radii & variable thickness)
Can be used on multiple substrates

How It Works

GreenGirt Clip – Thermal Spacer is a composite metal hybrid (CMH) sub-framing system to house the CI (continuous insulation) specified and provide a universal cladding attachment support – ensuring zero thermal bridging. It can be used on any substrate or cladding and can be installed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

It is best used in exterior wall applications and is installed over solid substrates in a vertical application.
