Conclusion

In summary, thermal bridging issues with exterior cladding attachments are one of the key challenges in maintaining continuous insulation on a building envelope. Traditional attachment systems that rely on attaching to a complex substructure can lead to increases in workmanship error that may be time consuming and costly. Recent advances in attachment system design can overcome these barriers with an integrated, modular system that reduces installation times and potential errors while helping ensure the performance of the building’s continuous insulation.
