Knight Wall’s Thermally Efficient Cladding Attachment Systems provide energy code compliance for commercial wall assemblies requiring continuous insulation without thermal shorts through the exterior sub-framing.
Knight Wall Systems manufactures versatile, ventilated rainscreen attachment systems that accommodate an expansive array of cladding options. All Knight mounting systems are energy code-compliant and offer cladding attachment for almost any facade panel - single skin metal, ACM, Aluminum plate, fiber cements, phenolics, stucco, thin brick masonry, ultra compact stone panels.
Why Knight Wall?
Pre-engineered for structural performance and thermally enhanced steel girts offering ASHRAE 90.1 compliant thermal performance for commercial exterior walls
Complete, drop-in rainscreen attachment system – girts, thermally isolated fasteners, rails and engineering – one source warranty for the whole system.
10-year, full replacement cost warranty includes labor and peripheral material replacement
Highly corrosive-resistant Zn-Al-Mg ZM40 (ASTM A1046) coated steel for long service life vs. typical G90 galvanized steel (16ga and 18ga/ 50KSI)
Works for almost any rainscreen facade system
4 innovative designs: ThermaZee, Vertical Ci-Girt, Horizontal Ci-Girt & Mineral Fiber bracketing system - all provide thermally isolated components and fasteners.
“insulation that is continuous across all structural members without thermal bridges other than fasteners and service openings. It is installed on the interior, exterior, or is integral to any opaque surface of the building envelope”
— ASHRAE 90.1 continuous insulation (ci)
Knight ThermaZee System - Z profile girt
Horizontal or Vertical orientation - installs just like traditional Z-profile girts with standard depths of 1.0”, 1.5”, 2.0”, 2.5”, 3.0”, 3.5”, 4.0”, 4.5”, 5.0”
Attach nearly any cladding - ACM, Fiber Cement, HPL, ultra compact stone…
Attach cladding directly to ThermaZee or add optional KWS horizontal rails (such as PanelRail)
Pre-punched wall anchor holes for easy installation – especially over wood and CMU/concrete substrates
Knight Ci System - Vertical Girt
Installed vertically as a 3/4” depth box girt with pre-punched holes for fasteners and installed directly over rigid insulation with Knight Wall’s Ankit Fastener Sleeve.
Attach cladding directly to vertical CI-Girt or add optional KWS horizontal rails (such as PanelRail)
97% Thermal Efficiency
Knight HCI System - Horizontal Girt
Installed horizontally, this hat channel type system comes with pre-punched holes for drying and drainage capability and is installed over the top of rigid continuous insulation with Knight Wall’s Ankit Fastener Sleeve.
Cladding can be attached directly to the horizontal HCI-Girt or used with optional vertical rails (such as PanelRail™ or RevealRail™)

Knight MFI System - Mineral Fiber System
Clip and Rail System offers high structural load capacity even with large standoffs. (2-3/4” to 15-0”)
Rails may be attached to ThermaBracket™ in a vertical or horizontal orientation and clips can be spaced at bigger intervals to reduce labor and material costs
Attach nearly any cladding with easy and efficient installation and detailing
High corrosive-resistant Zn-Al-Mg ZM40 coating for a long service life vs. typical G90 Galvanized steel
