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

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.
