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. It is engineered to perform on all substrates including concrete, concrete block, steel studs or wood.
ISO Clip is suitable for either vertical or horizontal sub-grits. Its versatility, thermal performance, and ease of use make ISO Clip the product to specify for high-performance building envelopes. The thermal performance of the clip has been modeled and evaluated by the industry leaders, Morrison Hershfield.
ISO Clip is manufactured by Northern Facades, North America's leading fabricator of architectural metal panel, Laminam ceramic panel, and unitized glazing systems.
