The Knight CI® System provides outstanding thermal performance by way of true CI (continuous insulation), while accommodating nearly any façade or cladding system – providing maximum versatility and durability, with ease of design and installation.

The CI System uses unique ¾” deep vertical box girts – called CI-Girts® – designed to properly disburse the façade loads over exterior rigid insulation – with only unique thermally isolated fasteners penetrating the thermal barrier thus minimizing thermal bridging. It can be installed over most substrates including steel studs, wood studs, CMU and concrete.

For basic, cost-effective horizontal claddings, only a single layer of CI-Girts may be needed. For more complex cladding designs or types, choose from a wide variety of Knight Wall secondary rails for those panels requiring specific attachment points.

CI System components are produced in standard and custom lengths, in either 16- or 18-gauge Zn-Al-Mg coated steel (standard silver or black PVDF coated) and also available in stainless steel.

This easy to design and even easier to install, engineered drop-in system solution will provide any project with design versatility while still meeting or exceeding North American energy code requirements.

The CI System attachment completes the rainscreen envelope design, whether choosing metal panels, lap siding, aluminum composite material (ACM) panels, terra cotta, GFRC, or many more. And choose any brand of insulation meeting minimum compressive strength and code requirements, simplifying design specifications.
