GreenGirt Steel™

GreenGirt Steel™

GreenGirt Steel™ is a new ground-breaking entry-level steel-based continuous insulation system that delivers unmatched strength, superior thermal performance, and twice the installation speed—without added complexity or cost.

Steel continuous insulation system

An entry-level continuous insulation system that delivers 20–50% more strength than other perforated thermal metal Z-girts while providing code-compliant energy efficiency. Its steel Z-girt sub-framing with thermal brackets integrates with any insulation, and the overlapping design halves installation time. Integrated insulation retention locks eliminate stick pins and thousands of thermal bridges, achieving the highest effective R-value for a steel-based system. GreenGirt Steel’s minimal design and integrated thermal brackets further reduce energy transfer, helping buildings achieve their energy efficiency goals.
 
How It Works

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

20–50% stronger than other perforated thermal metal Z-girts

GreenGirt Steel’s advanced design provides 20–50% stronger than other perforated thermal metal Z-girts, ensuring superior durability and load-bearing capacity for building envelopes.

Installs 2X faster than other systems

GreenGirt Steel’s streamlined design allows it to be installed twice as fast as other systems, saving both time and labor on construction projects.

Highest R-value for a steel-based system

GreenGirt Steel offers the highest R-value among steel-based systems, ensuring superior thermal performance and enhanced energy efficiency for building envelopes.

Thermal expansion and contraction at connections

GreenGirt Steel’s ability to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction at connections reduces stress on the system, maintaining structural integrity.

Insulation retention lock holds insulation in place

GreenGirt Steel’s integrated insulation retention lock keeps insulation securely in place, simplifies installation, and eliminates stick pins/fasteners and thousands of thermal bridges.
