Introducing exoGIRT

exoGIRT is a non-metallic FRP sub-framing girt system engineered to maintain continuous exterior insulation and reduce thermal bridging in rainscreen facades. Designed for high-performance wall assemblies, it provides structural stability while eliminating the thermal penalties associated with aluminum girts. Its low conductivity, high compressive strength, and compatibility with multiple cladding materials make it suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects. Lightweight and installer-focused, exoGIRT supports precise alignment, panel fastening, and Passive House Certified energy performance.

exoGIRT Advantages

Enhanced Thermal Performance

exoGIRT ensures the continuity of insulation, improving thermal efficiency and reducing heat transfer.

Seamless Appearance

With exoGIRT, you have the flexibility to design wall sections in various orientations (vertical or horizontal) and choose whether the girts are visible or hidden, providing greater freedom for customization.

Superior Strength

The newly formulated FRP exoGIRT offers best-in-class strength, withstanding bending, screw pull-out, and other structural stresses.

Installer-Friendly Features

The design of exoGIRT incorporates features that make it easy for installers to fit insulation, place fasteners, and achieve proper stud spacing without the need for pre-drilling. It is compatible with all types of insulation materials.

Safety

exoGIRT has undergone rigorous testing to meet the latest safety standards, giving you peace of mind regarding its performance and reliability.

Energy Efficiency

As buildings strive for improved energy efficiency and envelope performance, exoGIRT contributes to these goals by offering thermally efficient sub-framing, reducing heat loss, and enhancing the overall energy performance of the structure.
