exoTHERM
Thermally Isolated Rainscreen Bracket
exoTHERM is a Passive House Certified, thermally isolated, self-shimming wall bracket for rainscreen cladding systems. Made in the USA from proprietary FRP, it eliminates thermal bridging and supports high-performance building envelopes for energy-efficient, code-compliant design.
Why exoTHERM?
As energy codes tighten and facade performance becomes central to sustainable design, traditional metal brackets with thermal break pads are no longer enough. exoTHERM was developed to simplify compliance with Passive House, LEED, and Net Zero goals—delivering consistent thermal isolation, structural reliability, and ease of installation in one system. It replaces complex multi-component setups with a single, high-performance FRP bracket designed for durability, adaptability, and energy efficiency over the long term.
Applications
exoTHERM is used as part of exterior rainscreen systems across a wide range of project types—from commercial towers to institutional buildings and high-performance residential. It is compatible with cladding materials including ceramic, fiber cement, aluminum composite (ACM), and metal panels. Suitable for Passive House, Net Zero, and LEED-certified buildings.
Thermal Efficiency
exoTHERM eliminates thermal bridging at the cladding attachment point by using a proprietary FRP composition that acts as a continuous thermal break. Unlike traditional systems that rely on metal brackets and added thermal break pads, exoTHERM is thermally isolated by design. It achieves a thermal bridge coefficient of 0.0054 W/K (approximately 0.0031 BTU/hr·°F), minimizing heat loss through the envelope and maintaining an interior surface temperature of 19.49°C—well above Passive House comfort thresholds. This performance contributes to energy savings, condensation resistance, and occupant comfort, making exoTHERM ideal for buildings pursuing rigorous thermal performance and sustainability standards.
