“We are very proud and honored to receive the Architectural Products PIA Award,” said Jason Wigboldy, TRUFAST Walls President. “This innovation helps architects and builders provide a minimal thermal footprint while delivering a stable support system for exterior wall cladding construction on a ventilated rainscreen system.”
As a collaboration with ClarkDietrich, the thermally efficient structural exterior rainscreen wall cladding attachment system is intended to minimize penetrations through the insulation and AWRB layers. The key to its efficiency is the self-sealing Grip-Deck TubeSeal fastening system developed by TRUFAST Walls.
The ProChannel Ci Cladding Support with Grip-Deck TubeSeal Technology is designed to be installed over a ventilated rainscreen over exterior continuous insulations. The Pro Channel Ci creates a 7/8-inch vented rainscreen air cavity, while the TubeSeal helps seal the blind fastener penetration at the AWRB behind the layer of continuous insulation.
Thermal-bridging is also reduced by the TubeSeal which prevents contact between the screw and the channel, creating a thermal-break. It also seals the fastener penetrations against air and water leakage and it does not use any clips, girts, or other large penetrations through the insulation to affix the rainscreen to the structure.
It is available in standard 12 foot length- 1-1/2 inch wide flange for cladding screw attachment.
