What is EXO CI?
EXO CI offers a state of the art complete insulation answer. EXO CI, a designed continuous insulation system, provides an installation package, insulation, GreenGirt (composite girt/attachment members), plus additional accessories.
What is GreenGirt?
GreenGirt is an insulated composite sub-framing component within the EXO CI assembly. It connects the insulation and cladding to the building structure.
Is EXO CI eco friendly?
Yes. EXO CI helps reduce carbon emissions, produces energy savings, and it is a recyclable building material. Comprised of naturally sourced bioresins and recycled glass materials, GreenGirt seeks to affect the environment as little as possible. EXO CI can be instrumental in getting Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
Does EXO CI take advantage of tested technology?
Yes. EXO CI has undergone rigorous testing at a base level analysis with ASTM and UL agencies. EXO CI is proven worthy and tested within the construction industy. EXO CI's components and materials have an excellent track record.

Is EXO CI better than steel?
Yes. EXO CI is superior in a number of ways. Neoprene washers reduce thermal bridging in the insulation system. EXO CI's stainless steel fasteners are not susceptible to electrochemical reactions, moisture or corrosion. By design EXO CI provides the same loading capabilities at an equivalent depth Z girt. EXO CI surpasses steel both thermally and structurally.
How is EXO CI different from other CI systems?
1. EXO CI allows no cold spots for condensation.
2. EXO CI's universal attachment works on a multitude of claddings.
3. EXO CI attaches to various surfaces – more than stud walls.
4. EXO CI's limited parts make for a quicker installation.
Need to clarify — EXO CI has zero thermal short fasteners.
Smart ci has a link here — See the differences here. (Why EXO CI?)
Will standard building cladding provide superior thermal performance?
Yes. EXO CI allows almost any cladding you wish and maintains a superior thermal performance.
What benefits are there to using EXO CI?
Depending on the building location and size, EXO CI can produce significant energy savings to heating and cooling costs. The time to see the savings varies according to the application.
Does it have fire testing?
Yes. EXO CI has Class 1 fire ratings, NFPA285 and ASTM E84 E2586 ratings.
NFPA285
Is EXO CI a package?
Yes. EXO CI offers a complete solution. EXO CI comes with Rails 1 and 2, drawings, instructions, bill of materials, and insulation.
Additional materials (fasteners, sealants, insulation tape, etc.) are available on request. EXO CI can provide all you need for a complete solution to your commercial or residential continuous insulation project.
What type of insulation can be used with EXO CI?
EXO CI can be used with all types of rigid insulation.
What type of substrates can be used with EXO CI?
EXO CI can be used with various types of substrates, including, but not limited to stud walls, masonry, concrete, and roof decks.
Is EXO CI's installation time faster than other systems?
Yes. EXO CI installs faster by reducing the number of required components when compared to traditional methods. Simplicity within the design optimizes installation speed.
Is EXO CI complicated?
No. EXO CI is designed for simplicity. Depending on the application it can take only 1 or 2 rails.
Does EXO CI offer any type of engineering support?
Every EXO CI package comes with a custom configurations or an installation submittal package. Our custom configurations package includes complete engineered drawings for elevation-specific layout and attachment connections. Our installation submittal package contains directions and basic layout.
Is design assistance available from EXO CI?
Yes. Specifications, details and contact information is available here.
How can I purchase the EXO CI system?
