ECO Cladding Continuous Insulation Sub-Framing Solutions

While cladding usually receives all the glory, the cladding sub-framing impacts performance, budgets, and timelines. ECO Cladding's aluminum Continuous Insulation (C.I.) Sub-framing delivers an excellent combination of fire safety, engineering and thermal performance at a cost-effective price.

Regardless of the type of cladding material, ECO Cladding has a systems-based sub-framing solution.

From early design to final installation, ECO Cladding systems allow maximum spanning capability, while simultaneously addressing deadload, windload, seismic, thermal, and local energy code.

ECO Cladding has provided solutions for projects in many cities including Seattle, Portland, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston, with a wide variety of cladding materials, including fiber cement, cement composite, terra cotta, aluminum composite, ceramic, and many others!

ECO Cladding can help ensure your wall assembly is ASHRAE 90.1 and NFPA 285 compliant. Morrison Hershfield, a thermal modelling industry leader, analyzed the Alpha Vci configuration on steel stud walls with C.I. Sub-framing on two wall types: split insulation and exterior only cavity insulation. Several thicknesses of the three most common insulation materials (mineral wool, polyiso exterior boards, and polyiso spray foam) were modeled. Using the ECO Calculator, the layout can be determined and the corresponding wall's U Value can be provided. Continuous Insulation just got a whole lot simpler.

Alpha Vci - Vertical C.I. Sub-framing System

Alpha Vci creates an attachment plane for vertical panel layout. The vertical C.I. sub-framing system addresses fire safety, engineering and thermal performance. Alpha V brackets serve as engineered building block components for vertically oriented C.I. sub-framing. Alpha V brackets are fully-engineered and designed to incorporate intermittent Alpha brackets with continuous outer aluminum rails to create the "C.I. Sub-framing" layer. Alpha V brackets were engineered for superior performance and ease of installation.

Alpha Hci - Horizontal C.I. Sub-framing System

Alpha Hci creates an attachment plane for horizontal panel layout. As the primary building block, our horizontal C.I. sub-framing system addresses fire safety, engineering and thermal performance. ECO Cladding attachment systems incorporate intermittent Alpha brackets with continuous outer aluminum rails to create the "C.I. Sub-framing" layer. Alpha H brackets are engineered for superior performance and ease of installation.
