CLADDING THERMAL BRIDGING SOLUTIONS
Continuous insulation is almost always compromised by metallic structural connections such as clips and girts which create thermal bridging when connected to steel stud framing. A thermal bridge is an area of building which experiences higher heat transfer than the surrounding materials. These connections in conjunction with the steel studs have a significant impact on the U value of wall assemblies.
Insulation effectiveness can be reduced by as much as 50% due to these heat flow paths. Armatherm™’s cladding solutions can effectively prevent excessive heat losses. Armatherm™ Z Girts improve the U value of cladding and wall panel assemblies by eliminating the use of highly conductive metal girts and aluminum brackets creating wall assemblies that are up to 98% efficient.
ARMATHERM™Z-Girt benefits
- Approved to NFPA 285 standards
- Works with a wide range of cladding systems
- Direct replacement to conductive steel girts
- Can run vertically and horizontally
- Matches standard installation techniques
- Excellent resistance to UV
Cladding Thermal Break
Armatherm cladding attachments significantly reduce thermal bridging and improve wall assembly thermal performance. ArmaGirt™ Z Girt, clip and structural thermal break materials provide a combination of low thermal conductivity and high compressive strength transferring load and reducing heat loss.
The Armatherm™’s cladding material is made of a reinforced, thermoset resin that is fire resistant and exhibits very limited creep under load, making it the ideal material for use in structural and façade thermal break connections. The thermal images below demonstrate the efficiency of the connections in retaining insulated heat.
