The Koa clip is an essential part of a buildings envelope

---

Koa Clip can be fastened to steel stud or concrete wall substrates. It is composed of a steel Z shaped component connectable to a high impact polypropylene spacer pad which is intermittently placed to structural specifications to carry the weight of the architectural cladding. It is versatile with being able to receive horizontal or vertical sub girts accommodating any type of architectural finished product. Comprehensive load tables and structural capacity charts have been generated. These engineering reports were based on 3 loading conditions to account for different cladding weights (5,10,15 lbs / SF). Also calculated data for 4 vertical and 4 horizontal spacing conditions are reported confirming capabilities on concrete and metal stud backup walls. 

Koa Clip's integral thermal separation pad acts as an isolator significantly decreasing thermal bridging and reducing heat loss within the buildings envelope. Optionally, a second thermal spacer pad may be snapped onto the other side of the Z-standoff component completely isolating the steel and limiting cold transfer, this increases effective performance. Backed by an extensive thermal modeling evaluation which confirms compliance by meeting the requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-2016 

Koa Clip is available in various sizes, the depth of the wall clip can vary to accommodate different thicknesses of insulation in a rain screen wall system. Certification was issued by Intertek with meeting the specified fire performance requirements of NFPA 285-23. Koa Clip's robustness yields greater spacings so less clips required and the ease of installation feedback from customers is commendable. Speedy install, meets building code requirements, structurally sound, versatile allowing for any cladding type, and cost effective. Why not consider Koa Clip for your thermally broken cladding attachment system in the construction of your next wall assembly.
