SMARTci Trim Continuous Insulation Through-Wall Trim System for Windows and Doors

Until now, continuous insulation systems haven’t considered wall openings, they’ve been solely designed for the “field-of-the-wall”. This created a vulnerability from through-wall metal connections. Exterior trim to interior framing at the wall opening locations has resulted in thermal inefficiencies.

SMARTci Trim solves this problem by replacing the thru-wall metal connection at wall openings with a structural composite profile for finish flashing attachment. This will bring thermal equilibrium with the balance of your continuous insulation wall system and provide energy savings, building compliance and a healthier building for you and your customer.

System Components

SMARTci Trim is a complete solution for the heat loss at windows and curtainwall transition details. It eliminates thermal bridging - providing best practices for thermal efficiency.

• Eliminates thermal bridging at wall openings
• Available in a 90˚ profile and flexible flat for square/rectangular and round/arched openings
• Thermal efficiency > 85% than legacy systems

• Eliminates blind fasteners

• Fasten trim to building structure without metal-to-metal contact

• Part of the Best Practices for a continuous insulation solution

• Stronger than 16-gauge steel

• More universal than stainless steel - compatible with virtually all building materials

• Zero through-wall metal short-circuits

• Part of a complete system to provide a comprehensive continuous insulation solution

• The weakest link is now the strongest link

• Universal solution works with all continuous insulation configurations

• Certification tested with ASTM E-84 and NFPA 285

How It Works

SMARTci TRIM is an FRP composite providing a complete solution for the heat loss at windows and curtainwall transition details. It eliminates thermal bridging - providing best practices for thermal efficiency.

Exterior trim to interior framing at the wall opening locations has resulted in thermal inefficiencies. In fact, efficiency can be reduced to 25% in the area of the wall cavity surrounding the opening. In other words, your R-19 rated wall may have an efficiency of R-5, along with the associated dew point problems inside the cavity around the wall openings.
