Thermal Girts
Thermal Girts
A Simple Solution to a Complex Problem
Thermal bridging is recognized as a significant factor in building envelope heat loss. It has been determined that the total heat flow through typical wall assemblies is underestimated by as much as 70% due to thermal bridging, yet simply adding insulation to walls has been proven to not necessarily decrease the energy use of a building.

Superior Thermal Performance
Engineered for optimum thermal and structural properties, our Thermally Broken Girts provide thermal efficiency for cladding systems. Due to standard cladding attachments, thermal bridging largely affects the heat loss of a building through its wall assembly. Our simple solution greatly reduces thermal bridging by eliminating the heat flow path from the cladding to the insulation on the building. This subsequently results in an effective U-value of the wall assembly.

Meets Code Requirements
Because traditional methods of attaching cladding through exterior insulated wall assemblies can cause thermal bridging, meeting code requirements is challenging. Therefore, a solution to the ever-increasing code performance requirements for wall assemblies is our Thermally Broken Girts.
