Cascadia Clip®

The Cascadia Clip®’s patented design allows for a straight-forward installation on steel, concrete and wood stud buildings. Like many clip and rail systems, the Cascadia Clip® is installed prior to the exterior insulation, allowing installers to easily confirm the fasteners have tied directly into the backup wall and structure, reducing the structural risk associated with blind fastening systems.

Carrying a comprehensive IAPMO-UES (ICC-ES equivalent) code evaluation, as well as thermal and structural engineering reports, the Cascadia Clip® offers verified peace-of-mind to project stakeholders.

Available in 8 different size, the Cascadia Clip® can easily accommodate up to 8” of exterior insulation, making it perfect for high-performance and Passive House projects. Cascadia’s pre-punched Galvalume™ z-girts and hat channel allows for longer span compared to wood furring, reducing labor and materials costs, as well as improving thermal performance.

The award-winning Cascadia Clip® boasts a roughly 30-50% reduction in thermal bridging over typical sloped roofing support—while offering the same structural performance. This novel application also helps mitigate the risk of condensation on the underside of the roof deck and screws.

Improved thermal performance is only one facet of the Cascadia Clip®‘s benefits. When used with sloped roofs, Cascadia Clips® offer significant cost savings over traditional supports by allowing architects and specifiers to design thinner roofs. This reduces not only the amount of materials used in the roof itself, but also the overall labor associated with installation.
