ArmaGirt™ Z Girt

ArmaGirt™ Z Girt is used in exterior wall assemblies to support cladding systems while minimizing thermal bridging, helping buildings meet energy codes and improve insulation performance.

ArmaGirt™ Z Girt is a thermally broken cladding support solution designed to reduce heat loss and minimize condensation caused by thermal bridging in exterior wall assemblies. By thermally isolating interior and exterior wall components, the system improves overall wall performance while maintaining structural load transfer for cladding systems. ArmaGirt™ Z Girts are engineered to meet continuous insulation requirements under ASHRAE 90.1 and the Canadian NECB energy code, and are designed as a direct replacement for traditional conductive steel girts. The product supports secure cladding attachment while helping buildings achieve higher energy efficiency and code compliance.

Features and benefits:

• Thermal Bridge Mitigation – Reduces heat transfer between interior and exterior wall assemblies.
• High Thermal Performance – Can improve wall assembly efficiency by up to 98% when compared to traditional conductive supports.
• Code Compliance – Meets continuous insulation requirements of ASHRAE 90.1 and Canadian NECB.
• NFPA 285 Approved – Tested for use in fire-rated wall assemblies.
• Wide Cladding Compatibility – Works with a variety of cladding systems.
• Flexible Orientation – Can be installed vertically or horizontally.
• Direct Steel Girt Replacement – Matches standard installation techniques for simplified adoption.
• Durable Construction – Provides excellent resistance to UV exposure and environmental conditions.
