Are you specifying continuous insulation that actually performs? (1-8-2026)

Continuous insulation isn’t just a recommendation, it’s defined by ASHRAE 90.1.

True continuous insulation must remain uninterrupted across all structural members, with the only allowed penetrations being fasteners and service openings.

KNIGHT WALL SYSTEMS® CI® and HCI® solutions are designed to support this definition as closely as possible:

• Installed on top of the insulation, preserving the thermal layer and preventing gaps that could affect performance.
• Only penetrations are through thermally isolated ANKIT® fasteners, keeping thermal bridging to a minimum while aiding the WRBs ability to resist water.
• Both systems help maximize R-value across the wall assembly and support code compliance.

With CI® and HCI®, architects and designers can confidently specify a cladding support system that maintains the integrity of the insulation layer and delivers predictable thermal performance.
