GreenGirt Max CMH™

GreenGirt Max CMH

GreenGirt Max CMH™ is a maximized continuous insulation system that combines structural composite metal hybrid Z-girt sub-framing and compatible accessories with expert engineering support, featuring 0.20″ steel reinforced flanges.

Maximized continuous insulation system

GreenGirt Max CMH™ is a Class I continuous insulation system engineered for all weights of cladding, from ACM and fiber cement to terracotta and natural stone. Proudly made in the USA by Advanced Architectural Products, GreenGirt Max CMH delivers industry-leading thermal and structural performance. As the flagship product that complements GreenGirt Optima CMH™, GreenGirt Max CMH succeeds at providing high-quality thermal efficiency and structural integrity for all cladding weights.   Manufactured with 0.20” steel-reinforced flanges, GreenGirt Max CMH is the strongest Z-girt on the market and is designed to offer the widest spacing possible for continuous insulation systems. GreenGirt Max CMH uses crosswise and lengthwise tensile strength to establish it as more durable than Class II and Class III continuous insulation systems. GreenGirt CMH was also previously specified and sold under the name “SMARTci 1 in 1.”
 
How It Works

The GreenGirt Max CMH System adheres to the eight continuous insulation best practices. Additional features that make the GreenGirt Max CMH system stand out as the best choice for your building include:

Easy Installation for Wider Spacing

Widening the spacing between Z-girts provides the opportunity for simplified alignment, reduced labor, and faster installation – on top of reduced materials and costs.

Permanent Steel-to-Steel Connections

Fastener connection is secured with 0.20” steel-reinforced flanges, outperforming the “unavoidable failure” risks in FRP-only systems.
