SMARTci® (on closed framing)

Expert-engineered GreenGirt® CMH™ continuous insulation systems and SMARTci™ building enclosure systems combine the structural integrity of steel with the thermal insulative properties of fiber-reinforced polymers. Plus, the systems are easy to install — perfect for your next project.

Continuous Insulation Clip System

GreenGirt® CMH™ Clip System delivers a comprehensive solution for exterior wall cladding, offeirng secure attachment and zero thermal bridging through its innovative continuous insulation clip technology — designed for optimal performance and energy efficiency, and installed vertically with a hat channel(s) and

How It Works

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

Air- and Water-Tight Building Enclosure System

Installed over traditional closed framing with sheathing and a water-resistive barrier, the SMARTci system is engineered to ensure that air and water stays where it belongs (sheathing and WRB provided by others).

Includes Custom-Profiled Rigid Insulation

SMARTci’s rigid insulation panels are custom-profiled to fit exactly to GreenGirt CMH Z-girts and the required depth, pre-routed in-house for a seamless, stack-and-go installation process.

Pressure Seals to Connect Rigid Insulation Panels

The pressure seal accessory seamlessly connects rigid insulation panels for a 360-degree air- and water-seal and a streamlined installation process, reducing both time and material costs.

ThermaLock Technology Holds Insulation in Place

Through ThermaLock technology on the GreenGirt CMH Z-girts, SMARTci systems can hold insulation in place, eliminating the need for extra fastening materials.
