insulation boards.
Common or specialty ties can be used, as the semi-rigid
mineral wool insulation will conform around the ties.
Clip and rail systems are typically installed to the building structure or
backup wall framing. The insulation is installed between the system
components.
• When allowed by code and structural design, space ties
16 in. or 24 in. in at least one orientation, vertically or
horizontally, to allow for the installation of the insulation
boards.
• Clips or wedges used with masonry ties can hold the
insulation in place at the insulation board edges. Additional
needed.
• When using proprietary clip and rail systems, use the
manufacturer’s recommended fasteners for attachment.
• Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for any support of the insulation
boards provided by the system components.
