FRP continuous insulation support systems
STRONGWELL’s STRONGIRT™ is the ideal continuous insulation (CI) cladding attachment support system. This all-FRP (fiberglass) pultruded composite uses a custom fire-retardant resin system and unique laminate design to offer superior pull out strength, excellent thermal efficiency, and the ability to work with any non-proprietary insulation (no routing or fabricating of rigid insulation is required).
The geometry of STRONGIRT™ offers self-draining to clear rainwater, and weep holes can be pre-fabricated or added in the field for additional drainage needs. The product has been engineered for strength and stiffness to support cladding, insulation, and wind loads, while offering a simple, durable, cost effective solution for installers.
Available for insulation thicknesses from 1-1/2″ to 6″ (in 1/2″ increments), STRONGIRT™ can be used with all non-proprietary insulation types and installed vertically or horizontally depending on construction requirements.
Features and Benefits:
• 100% FRP system (no metal to rust or react)
• Superior pullout strength
• Double fastening system on front flange
• Light weight – Thermally efficient replacement to metal cladding attachment systems
• Code compliant
“We had to follow the radius by segmenting the girt in certain spots. We thought we were going to have to stagger everything, but it turns out my guys were able to get screws in on both sides and keep it all in plane. Just in case you were concerned, we did have engineering and STRONGIRT™ lived up to its name. Our guys actually really liked using this product over GreenGirt, so I’m hoping to keep pushing this.”
