Product Spotlight – Introducing Cascadia Clip®
A smart cladding attachment solution designed to help reduce thermal bridging, support continuous exterior insulation, and improve overall building envelope performance.
Better Performance Starts at the Envelope
Cascadia Clip® is a fiberglass thermal spacer system used in exterior wall assemblies to help separate the cladding support from the building structure. That separation helps reduce thermal bridging, which can improve the energy performance of the wall.
For architects, contractors, and installers, the goal is simple: better thermal performance without making the wall assembly more complicated than it needs to be.
Cascadia Clip® can be used with steel frame, concrete, and wood construction, and it works with common cladding support methods including z-girts and hat channels.
Good Fit For
- Rainscreen wall assemblies
- Continuous exterior insulation
- High-performance building envelopes
- Commercial and multifamily projects
- Projects focused on energy performance
- Roof and soffit applications
Advantages of Cascadia Clip®
Reduced Thermal Bridging
Helps limit heat transfer through the cladding support system by creating a thermal break between the structure and exterior cladding attachment.
Supports Continuous Insulation
Available in multiple sizes and able to support up to 8 inches of exterior insulation, depending on the assembly and project requirements.
Installer Friendly
Designed to work with common z-girt and hat channel cladding support systems, helping keep installation practical in the field.
Flexible Wall Assembly Options
Compatible with steel, concrete, and wood-framed buildings, giving project teams flexibility across many construction types.
Why It Matters
Exterior insulation is only as effective as the details around it. Traditional metal cladding supports can create thermal bridges through the insulation layer. Cascadia Clip® helps address that issue while still allowing the use of familiar exterior cladding attachment methods.
