1. GENERAL
Proprietary clips / brackets or non-
proprietary stand-offs designed to support
vertically installed z-girts or L-channels can
be used. Insulation is not required to provide
any structural support with this type of
system.
2. THERMAL BRIDGING & Z-GIRTS
ROXUL does NOT recommend using z-girts
through the full thickness of insulation.
Clips, brackets or stand-offs should be used
to minimize thermal bridging.
3. DESIGN
Z-girts and fastening system should be
designed to support wind loads and total
applied dead loads independently of the
insulation.
If clips & girts do NOT provide structural
support to the insulation it should be
fastened per directions for Plain Insulation.
If clips & girts provide structural support to
the insulation then designers can reduce the
required number of fasteners appropriately.
4. CASCADIA CLIPS & OTHER
PROPRIETARY SYSTEMS
Follow manufacturers recommendations
5. FASTENERS
 Fasteners should be appropriate type for
the substrate
 Use the manufacturers recommended

fastening of clips & girts.
