DOW™-KNIGHT CI-SYSTEM™ for ASHRAE Compliant Continuous Insulation: R-Value = Real Value

DOW™-KNIGHT CI-SYSTEM™ for ASHRAE Compliant Continuous Insulation: R-Value = Real Value

DOW™-KNIGHT CI-SYSTEM™ OFFERS MANY ADVANTAGES IN DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND LONG-LASTING THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF THE BUILDING. IN ADDITION TO MAXIMIZING ENERGY EFFICIENCY, OCCUPANT COMFORT AND UTILITY SAVINGS, A WIDE RANGE OF CLADDING OPTIONS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR CUSTOMIZABLE BUILDING AESTHETICS.

DOW-KNIGHT CI-SYSTEM™ provides a complete rain screen solution that offers maximum energy efficiency and excellent moisture management. The CI-SYSTEM, featuring the patent pending THERMAX™ Wall System from Dow, delivers continuous insulation across all structural members, while reducing thermal bridging to isolated fasteners and service openings. This unique drop-in, all-in-one design meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 requirements and can save time and money by reducing labor and assembly costs. The DOW-KNIGHT CI-System eliminates the need for any furring that penetrates the thermal barrier and disrupts the drainage plane in an effort to significantly minimize thermal shorts. This system provides superior thermal performance, moisture management and air barrier properties, while simplifying the wall assembly and meeting or exceeding today’s energy standards.

The CI-System™continuous insulation rain screen system is designed to be used in conjunction with Knight's series of panelized cladding options. Other attachment system options are available, such asCI-PanelTek™ &CI-SidingRail™ , to accommodate a wide array of facade options. Knight's CI-System cladding options include:
¤ Metal Panels
¤ Thin Brick Panels
¤ Natural Stone Panels
¤ Tile Panels

ADVANTAGES TO DOW-KNIGHT CI-SYSTEM™:

¤ Advanced design reduces long term energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
¤ Enables use of thick rigid foam exterior insulation up to 3 inches* with multiple claddings.
¤ Adaptable to all façades or cladding systems (see other KNIGHT product lines for CI options).
¤ Validated weather-resistant barrier system (tested to ASTM E330, E331 and ASTM 2357).
¤ Validated fire performance (complies with NFPA 285).
¤ Cost reductions from using fewer materials to reach the same insulation values.
¤ Maximize building sustainability – LEED credit potential.
¤ Rain screen reusability can be accomplished without damaging the building envelope.
*Exact insulation thickness depends on specific cladding and wall assembly details per NFPA 285 fire approval.
