Architectural Panels, Thermal Isolation Clips and Unitized Glazing Systems

The ISO Clip  is a high-performance thermal isolation mounting clip designed for use in exterior wall assemblies, particularly in rainscreen systems. 

Function and Purpose

• Reduces Thermal Bridging: The ISO Clip creates a thermal break between the interior and exterior of a building, significantly reducing heat transfer through the wall assembly. This improves the effective R-value of the insulation.  

• Versatile Installation: Compatible with various substrates including concrete, steel studs, wood, and concrete block.  

• Flexible Design: One clip fits various insulation thicknesses and wall depths—no need for shims or multiple clip sizes.  

• Orientation Versatility: Supports both vertical and horizontal sub-girts when installed in the same direction.

ISO Clip significantly reduces thermal bridging within external rain screen assemblies improving insulation effective-R values while providing flexibility for facade design. It is a key building component that helps to achieve thermally efficient building envelopes without compromising on design intent of the project, essential for energy conservation and our shared sustainable future.

Technical Information:
The ISO Clip creates a thermal break separating the interior of the building from the exterior. Its unique design features reduce thermal transfer through the building envelope. The clip accommodates a variety of insulation thickness or wall depths, eliminating the need for shims and can accommodate insulation from 2" - 3.5". It is engineered to perform on all substrates including concrete, concrete block, steel studs or wood.

AXIOM panels are fabricated from tension leveled, architectural grade aluminum plate, complete with shop installed stiffening ribs (if required). Panel corners are welded on 3mm panels to provide a seamless finish. On 2mm panel corners are non-welded providing a sharper return edge.

In aluminum, the 3mm lightweight panels are factory painted, in an controlled environment, after forming, which allows for limitless applications and the ultimate in design flexibility. 2mm prepainted panels are also available as well as other non-ferrous materials such as zinc and stainless steel.

System
AXIOM is a solid metal plate wall system uniquely designed and tested as a pressure equalized rainscreen. The Axiom System meets all of the requirements of the latest edition of the National Building Code for non-combustible construction and is considered a true dry-joint “Rainscreen Principle" system. This system should be considered when codes prevent the use of composite panel.
