INSULKEY™ is an innovative insulation retention pin designed specifically for use with the THERMAZEE® cladding support system. Unlike traditional retention methods that require additional fasteners or penetrations through the wall assembly, INSULKEY™ slides directly into place, securely holding insulation while helping preserve the integrity of the building envelope.
Its versatile design accommodates virtually any combination of THERMAZEE® depth and insulation thickness, including applications where the girt depth exceeds the insulation depth. With no special tools, hardware or complicated installation procedures required, INSULKEY™ helps contractors complete insulation installation quickly, efficiently and consistently.
