ECO Cladding
Our approach to rainscreen subframing gives designers the ability to seemlessly interchange multiple cladding materials on the same project and/or elevation with a unified substructure assembly.

Architectural Facade Solutions
AFS Subframe solutions include both traditional and innovative attachment options, including horizontal mounting substructure for both exposed and concealed fastening systems. Their unique perforated rails and profiles allow for ventilation and drainage without the need to add additional layers of subframe.

Strongirt
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).

03. Insulation Strategies
PPSI represents all basic exterior insulation materials (XPS, Mineral Wool, Polyiso, and Sprayed Polyurethane). We recognize unique performance properties of each technology and can provide insight on the ideal approach to meet complex demands of R-value, water absorption, fire resistance, NFPA 285 code compliance, thickness, and installation attachment in todays wall assemblies.
Hunter Rigid Polyiso
Hunter Panels Xci polyiso products meet the continuous insulation standards prescribed in ASHRAE 90.1-2010 and IECC 2012 for commercial exterior wall applications and IBC Building Code Chapter 26.
Hunter Panels offers numerous NFPA 285 compliant assemblies.
- XCI Foil Rigid for all masonry and stone cavity walls
- XCI 286 -All garage soffits with white NFPA 286 thermal barrier built into facer
- XCI CG- Coated Glass Facer for high strength permeable facer behind cladding & siding systems
- XCI PLY – Insulated structural sheathing for CI in all nail-able cladding configurations
Therma Fiber Mineral Wool
Mineral wool products are non-combustible per ASTM E136. Mineral wool will resist flame propagation over the surface of the products.
As a non-combustible material, mineral wool insulation is ideal for assemblies with combustible claddings and/or water-resistant barriers (WRB). When used with other combustible products, mineral wool acts as an aid in passing NFPA 285.
BASF Sprayed Polyurethane
SPF or Spray Polyurethane Foam describes a category of high-performance spray foam insulation and air barrier material that delivers multiple benefits in one application. These advantages include high insulation values, near-zero air permeability, increased building strength, severe weather and flood resistance, increased occupant comfort, improved indoor air quality, reduced operating costs and lower environmental impacts.
Because spray polyurethane foam is fully adhered and seals hard-to-reach penetrations, it provides unequaled air sealing properties for the entire building envelope. Reduced uncontrolled air leakage results in lower utility bills and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
05. High Performance Wall Assemblies
INSULATED STRUCTURAL SHEATHING
(FRT PLYWOOD OR NAILBASE OSB) CI SYSTEM
- Simple CI approach using sandwich Iso FRT Plywood panel
- Complete engineering for any nailable attachment siding systems

TRADITIONAL HYBRID RIGID ISO OR MINERAL WOOL THERMALLY BROKEN WITH FRP GIRTS FOR CI
- Traditional hybrid wall with stud cavity insulation and exterior CI mineral wool insulation
- Accommodating all cladding options including HPL’s with full NFPA 285 compliances
- Substitute stud batt insulation for Walltite LWP to move wall to high performance Net Zero Energy efficiency.
- Strongirt FRP CI subframing provides 100% effective R Value using current 2017 DC Energy Code
THE RETAIL WALL – FRP THERMALLY BROKEN ISO CI OPEN FRAMING CI
- The ideal retail wall using ISO XCI CG (Coated glass facer) captured in FRT
Strongirt on open framing (no sheathing). - Henry All Weather STPE installed to the insulation providing 12 months of full exposure before cladding enclosure
- Very fast envelop enclosure with cladding attachment accommodating all Rainscreens (fiber cement, single skin metal, modular metal panels, ACM, brick, stucco, etc)
- Masonry ties attached to FRP girt face in 16” x 16” or 16” x 24” spacing. Face
mount on insulated girts accommodates very cost effect shallow depth ties.
ALUMINUM BRACKET & RAIL ADJUSTABLE SUBFRAMING
- Thermally broken aluminum subframing 75% to90% thermally efficient
- 1 ½” adjustable subframing with punched thumbs allowing for internal shimming.
- Insulation subframing layer can be oriented horizontally (HCI) or Vertically (VCI) depending on concealed or exposed attachment and portrait or landscape panel
orientation. - High load transfer capacity for any cladding attachment, accommodating cavities
from 2” to 12” deep. - Deep cavities for super insulated, high performance wall assemblies.
- Passive solar house approved
- Non-combustible subframing
ECI SLAB TO SLAB BRACKET AND TUBE SUBFRAMING CI
- ECI is a state-of-the-art, slab to slab subframing system for downtown construction
- High strength tube aluminum engineering similar to curtainwall
- 90% or greater thermal efficiency, thermal modeling available
- Tube spanning floor to floor ideal for DC concrete construction.
- Minimum penetrations to the LGMF studs and air barrier.
- Only air barrier breach occurs at the slab edge with excellent seal on the Blueskin SA transition strip detailing.
- Excellent assembly for fast-track construction, ideal orientation for concealed terra cotta, porcelain and Swisspearl fiber cement panels
