EXTERIOR THERMAL INSULATED WALL SYSTEM FOR BUILDINGS

摘要

An assembly of purpose-made components that individually and collectively provide a high performance thermal wall system for the exterior of buildings, functioning like a vertical truss, to accommodate up to 400mm of wall insulation or more, with near thermal - bridge-free construction, and providing support for an exterior wall cladding system. The system components include a factory-dimpled and milled intermediate steel girt attached with a specially threaded screw through insulation to the structure and vertically supported by a heavy-gauge bent wire tension strap that carries the wall loads onto the building structure; a die-formed bent steel clip to support the exterior part of the wall system onto the girt, with a thin plastic thermal break separating the clip from the girt. The system relates to architecture and building construction for use with a wide range of structural systems, insulation, and cladding types.
