Fi-Foil Co. has announced that its Mechanical Fastener Systems, the same components used with the RetroShield System, will now be sold separately to offer these components to meet the needs of contractors looking for an attachment system. The patented steel clip-pin and washer systems work with all types of metal framing to reduce labor costs and operational downtime.
In making the Mechanical Fastener Systems widely available, Fi-Foil recognizes the industry’s need for a secure mechanical connection for metal building insulation (MBI), bubble insulation or facings. Fi-Foil’s Mechanical Fasteners are strong enough to support and secure hybrid back-filled insulation solutions for projects that need higher R-values.
The Mechanical Fastener Systems clip-pin & washer components are designed to be used with a variety of beams, bar joists, purlins, sidewalls and floors, among other areas.
The one-pass installation makes the job quicker for contractors. Overall, depending on your insulation type, the system reduces thermal bridging by allowing for continuous insulation in both retrofits and new construction. That means building owners will see lower utility costs and increased energy savings.
