GreenGirt CMH Clips™

GreenGirt CMH Clips™ provide a best practice, one-piece continuous insulation system, offering secure attachment and zero thermal bridging through its innovative clip technology.

Thermally broken cladding attachment clips for continuous insulation

GreenGirt CMH Clips™ provide a best practice, one-piece continuous insulation system, offering secure attachment and zero thermal bridging through its innovative clip technology — designed for optimal performance and energy efficiency, and installed vertically with a hat channel(s) and any mineral wool or spray foam insulation your project requires. Removing the need for through-wall metal and through-insulation fasteners, GreenGirt CMH Clips replace conductive metal Z-girts for an energy-efficient solution that eliminates thermal bridging and moisture-related problems. GreenGirt CMH Clips are available for customization in various depths of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, and 6 inches.

How It Works

GreenGirt CMH Clips adhere to the eight continuous insulation best practices. Additional features that make the GreenGirt CMH Clips™ System stand out as the best choice for your building include:

Composite Metal Hybrid Design

Patented composite metal hybrid design provides a complete thermal break, resulting in R-value efficiency of an industry-leading 98-99%.

Steel-Reinforced Flanges

Equipped with steel inserts that enhance durability and ensure a secure steel-to-steel attachment to the building’s structure. These steel-reinforced flanges provide a secure anchoring point, eliminating the risk of fasteners loosening over time and maintaining the integrity of the continuous insulation system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are GreenGirt CMH Clips, and what do they do?

GreenGirt CMH Clips are a composite metal hybrid continuous insulation clip system that provides secure cladding attachment while delivering zero thermal bridging via its clip technology. They’re designed for energy-efficient performance and are installed vertically with hat channel(s) and mineral wool or spray foam insulation, depending on what the project requires.

How do GreenGirt CMH Clips eliminate thermal bridging vs. metal Z-girts / through-insulation fasteners?

GreenGirt CMH Clips eliminate common thermal-bridge pathways by removing the need for through-wall metal and through-insulation fasteners commonly found in legacy systems. The system’s composite metal hybrid approach is positioned as a complete thermal break, helping prevent thermal bridging and related moisture issues.

What are the key configuration options for GreenGirt CMH Clips (available depths/sizes and compatibility with insulation, substrates, and cladding)?

Key configurations for GreenGirt CMH Clips include custom depths from 1.5″ to 6″ (with multiple increments listed), vertical orientation with horizontal hat channels, and compatibility with mineral wool or spray foam. GreenGirt CMH Clips are compatible with CMU and closed framing substrates, are 6″ long, compatible with all cladding types, and has a drainage plane behind the system.
