ADci Exposed Fastener
Labor Savings
ADci exposed fastener system is typically 50% faster to install compared to other concealed systems due to a myriad of efficiency benefits.
-
Eliminate redundant fastening
-
No cutting insulation around brackets or clips
-
Permeable waterproofing located out board of insulation
-
Self-aligning system depth
-
Eliminates elaborate flashing details (system perimeter closure and UV stable underlayment)
Engineering & Compliance
With ADci's ASTM 330 structural testing and available project specific engineering calculations, you are provided a solid foundation for system performance you can count on for risk mitigation.
-
ASTM C1289 type 1, class 1 and type 2,
-
ASTM E84, ASTM IBC section 2603 & R316, ASRA 90.1,
-
will not detract from NAPF 285, 268, 286
-
ASTM E2357
-
ABAA approved as an air barrier with ADC products.
System Details
Building Performance and 20-year warranty:
ADci is a true continuous insulation system:
-
No clips or supports into insulation cavity
-
Reduced thermal transfer
-
Dew point occurring within insulation
-
Flexible R value & insulation
Example: the standard system provides a 20.5 R value with no additional insulation required up to zone 5
With the high quality metal insulation facers, there is significant radiant performance realized further increasing the systems performance. Testing shows there is a 57-degree temperature differential benefit in addition to the R values with the systems rainscreen approach and adequate ventilation to ensure the façade materials have the best possible long-term performance.
All these benefits add up to a true 20-year product warranty, and an optional weather tightness warranty with QAQC and waterproofing consulting (to ensure qualified installers perform the work and there is no compromise in performance).
System Depth Adjustability
Most specifications mandate a ¼” at 20’ for structural members and stud walls. The ADci System works extremely well with these tolerances and can easily tolerate typical discrepancies to ensure a very flat façade face. The standard system depth is 5.25” depending on necessary R value. There are many possibilities to accommodate specific project needs and most customization is available at standard pricing.
*Retrofit projects may require free design assistance from a qualified ADC representative.
*Project specific engineering is also available for highly complex customized systems.
