In this video from Rodenhouse Inc. you will see 4 methods of attaching Green Guard continuous insulation including first our Grip-Lok® auto-feed fastening system, second our Plasti-Grip® III fastener with pre-spotting stem, third our Plasti-Grip® PMF fastener for concrete and block substrates, and last our Plasti-Grip brick-tie washer.
Shown here is a demonstration of our Grip-Lok® auto-feed fastening system. This board of 2" Green Guard continuous insulation is being installed directly over heavy gauge steel studs using 24 Plasti-Grip CBW fasteners. The Grip-Lok auto-feed system can use up to 3"long coarse thread or self-drilling screws which can fasten up to 2" thick Green Guard continuous insulation. Our proprietary nose cups can be used with various auto-feed screw guns from Senco, Tyrex, Quik-Drive, Grabber, and Pam-Fastening systems. Our Grip-Lok® auto-feed fastening system will decrease labor expense and increase profitability through efficient installation of the Green Guard continuous insulation.
For thicker wall assemblies such as 3" thick Green Guard applications we recommend our Plasti-Grip® III washer fastener. This washer has a pre-spotting stem that is easily pressed into the Green Guard continuous insulation. This fixed point will help guide the longer length screw and hold it firmly in place while the self-drilling point penetrates the heavy gauge steel. We stock a variety of longer length self-drilling screws for various wall assembly and insulation thicknesses.
Notice how the washers install flush to the surface to allow for easy installation of the wall cladding material. The Plasti-Grip® III fastener can be installed in Green Guard continuous insulation as thin as 1" and provides yet another efficient alternative to traditional pre-assembled washers and screws.
For concrete and masonry applications we recommend our Plasti-Grip® PMF fasteners. These are installed by pre-drilling through the Green Guard continuous insulation and into the concrete, placed into the hole, and secured with the tap of a hammer. These fasteners are made of solid plastic which helps eliminate thermal transfer and corrosion associated with steel screws. Our Plasti-Grip® PMF fasteners are available in multiple lengths and can attach Green Guard continuous insulation up to 3".
Lastly, we present our Plasti-Grip washer for barrel style brick-ties which allows for the installation of Green Guard with the brick-ties, therefore eliminating a separate installation step with screws and washers and reducing the number of penetrations through the insulation. The o-ring is encapsulated in a recessed chamber and presses inwards as pressure is applied with either a standard "pos-i-tie" brick-tie, or a "wing-nut" style brick-tie. This inward pressure on the shank ensures a tight seal against air and moisture penetration. The "wing-nut" style brick-tie allows for adjustment when thickness of the wall assembly varies.
