LEED Building Design
The CL 300 cladding support system is an environmentally responsible product that provides high-performance thermal isolation required for effective continuous insulation design.
LEED Credits
Energy & Atmosphere
- Exceeds ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1–2010 by eliminating any conductive fastener penetration of the insulation.
Materials & Resources
- Aluminum elements have 30.5% post-consumer recycled content and may be valued at 85% of the cost of those elements in calculating the credit.
View the LEED Brochure for specific details.

Up to the Challenge
Rigorously Tested to Meet Challenging Conditions
All CL-TALON products are made with 100% aluminum alloy which is less corrosive than powder coated or heavier steel alternatives and can therefore extend the life of the façade, especially in high moisture or saline rich environments.
Third-party Fire, Water, Air, Structural & Gravity testing includes: NFPA 285, ASTM E331, ASTM E330, ASTM E283.

SLOTTED-Z®
SLOTTED-Z combines known industry practices with advancements in both thermal performance and insulation securement that will save energy and labor costs.
Smart. Simple. SLOTTED-Z®

Increasing Thermal Performance
- Fiberglass has a low thermal conductivity so temperatures outside the building are not easily transferred to the interior.
SLOTTED-Z® FG (Fiberglass)

Air & Moisture Ventilation
Our SLOTTED-Z® Fiberglass Girt provides added Air & Moisture Ventilation which facilitates the purposeful regulation of moisture content. This reduces the risk of water damage, rot, and mold.
- Optional ROCKETStick® insulation securement for thermal control with Air Space
- Slots / Weep Holes included
- Reduced installation time and compatible with all Cladding materials that utilize Z-Girts
Thermal Performance of Building Materials

Thermal Conductivity and Cladding Support Systems
- Thermal conductivity refers to the ability of a given material to conduct/transfer heat.
- Common building materials can have vastly different rates of thermal conductivity.
- Fiberglass has a low thermal conductivity so temperatures outside the building are not easily transferred to the interior.
- The use of materials such as fiberglass therefore improve the thermal efficiency of the wall system when used as a thermal break – separating two more conductive elements of the wall system that can more easily transfer heat from the outside of the building to the inside (or vice versa).
ROCKETStick®
Secure Insulation in One Shot
ROCKETStick® is an optional component that integrates with all SLOTTED-Z® cladding attachment systems to secure insulation away from the waterproofing layer. The sculpted “peg & slot” insertion process makes installation quick and easy. Compatible with semi-rigid or rigid mineral wool and foam board insulation.

Two adjustment positions at 1/2” increments from the outer face.
Simple Design. Fast.Easy. Secure
- The tapered end of the ROCKETStick slides easily into the 1” wide slot of the SLOTTED-Z.
- Installs 1.5” above and 1” below the surface.
- Material: Aluminum.
✓ ROCKETStick (Peg & Slot)

- Quick and easy.
- Secures insulation away from the waterproofing layer.
- No power tools required.

Choosing the Right Profile to Match Your Design Requirements
The two charts below indicate the adjustment options for installing different types of semi-rigid or rigid board insulation materials using the ROCKETStick® and how that influences the net free area outbound from the insulation layer.

* Nominal depth of the z-girt profile Dimensions are in inches

SLOTTED-Z and Mineral Wool Insulation
- Mineral Wool insulation form fits around the girt at the substrate and if using the ROCKETStick, allows for an additional ½” of insulation to be installed, versus foam board insulation.
SLOTTED-Z and Foam Board Insulation
- Foam insulation rests on top of the flange at the substrate and secured at the front by the ROCKETStick.
Insulation Securement in Plan View
- Mineral Wool compresses with the insertion of the
ROCKETStick in the outer securement slot. - Both Mineral Wool and Foam board insulation secured with ROCKETStick in the inner slot.
Allows for greater airflow in the net free area
for rainscreen systems as needed.

Slotted-Z® Installation
Our Slotted-Z® Fiberglass Girt was designed to be installer friendly while simultaneously providing thermal efficiency and continuous insulation.
- Adjustable clip & rail systems with coplanar flush-mounting multi-point panel attachment.
- Fiberglass Z-girts with optional insulation securement.
- High thermal performance.
