Application

Structural thermal break suitable for furring exterior walls on a new/ existing masonry or steel stud backing.

Description

Non-metallic Z-girts are a suitable product for furring exterior walls on a new/ existing masonry or steel stud backing. Armatherm™ Z-girts were developed to reduce heat lost in the building envelope while increasing the effective R-value of the total wall assembly.


Armatherm Z Girt thermal break helps to meet ASHRAE 90.1's requirements for continuous insulation by completely eliminating metal-to-metal contact and highly conductive elements associated with steel stud wall assemblies.


Features and benefits:

  • Thermal break material has high thermal efficiency for clad walls.
  • Provides continuous insulation meeting energy code requirements.
  • Cost-effective in comparison with steel 'Z' girts with additional thermal solutions.
  • As efficiency is increased, overall insulation thickness can be reduced.
  • Can be easily shimmed for alignment.
