GreenGirt® Trim

GreenGirt® Trim offers the best practice solution for wall openings on your project. Until now, continuous insulation systems have not considered wall openings. They have been solely designed for the field of the wall. This created a vulnerability from through-wall metal connections. Exterior trim to interior framing at the wall opening locations has resulted in thermal inefficiencies.

GreenGirt® Trim solve this problem by replacing the through-wall metal connection at wall openings with a composite profile for finish flashing attachment. This will bring thermal equilibrium with the balance of your continuous insulation wall system and provide energy savings, building compliance, and a healthier building for you and your customer.

How It Works

GreenGirt® Trim is an FRP composite providing a complete solution for the heat loss at windows and curtainwall transition details. It eliminates thermal bridging – providing best practices for thermal efficiency.

Exterior trim to interior framing at the wall opening locations has resulted in thermal inefficiencies. In fact, efficiency can be reduced to 25% in the area of the wall cavity surrounding the opening. In other words, your R-19 rated wall may have an efficiency of R-5, along with the associated dew point problems inside the cavity around the wall openings.
