Piazza Continuous Rigid Insulation Framing System

Changes in the IECC Energy Conservation Code and ASHRAE Standard 90.1 necessitate the installation of 1 to 4 inches of continuous rigid insulation layer on the outside surface of exterior metal stud walls. Existing building component systems lack sufficient accommodation for cladding assemblies.

Piazza Stone’s Rigid Insulation Framing System is “The” solution. Piazza Continuous Ridgid Insulation System is an engineered installer-friendly set of steel framing tracks and angles designed to be an integral part of the continuous rigid insulation, and at the same time provide a stable component for direct substrate attachment. Piazza parts include preinstalled thermal tape on each piece and slotted webs on the Z-Tracks and J-Tracks to minimize thermal conductivity though the rigid insulation layer.
