Debuting at the New York Build conference, Advanced Architectural Products introduces GreenGirt Steel, a groundbreaking entry-level continuous insulation system that delivers best-in-class thermal performance, structural strength, and faster installation—all in a cost-conscious package.

Traditionally, steel-based continuous insulation girts have forced design and construction teams to compromise on performance or ease of use. GreenGirt Steel eliminates these trade-offs with best-in-class thermal efficiency, increased structural capacity, and an innovative overlapping girt design that cuts installation time in half.

Key Benefits of GreenGirt Steel:

• Strongest Class II system – 20–50% stronger than competitors, with an overlapping design that eliminates cantilevering and strength loss.
• Superior thermal efficiency – Offers the highest R-values in its class, with static thermal efficiency often reaching well into the 90% range.
• Built-in insulation retention – Integrated insulation locks eliminate the need for stickpins or extra fasteners, streamlining installation.
• Twice the installation speed – Overlapping Z-girts and retention locks simplify alignment, cutting install time in half compared to other perforated thermal steel girts.
• Accommodates expansion & contraction – Pre-punched fastener holes allow movement, removing the need for unsightly expansion gaps required by competitors.

“For too long, steel-based continuous insulation solutions have required trade-offs in performance, ease of installation, or structural integrity. GreenGirt Steel changes the game by delivering best-in-class thermal efficiencies, a streamlined overlap design, faster installation, and superior structural capacity—without added complexity or cost,” said G. Matt Krause, Founder and CEO of Advanced Architectural Products. “We engineered GreenGirt Steel to directly address the frustrations of design and construction teams, providing a smarter, more efficient solution that meets modern building demands head-on.”
