Advanced Architectural Products (A2P) engineers high-performance continuous insulation and building enclosure systems that set the standard for thermal efficiency, structural integrity, and sustainable design. At the core of A2P's portfolio are three industry-leading product families: GreenGirt CMH™, a patented composite metal hybrid continuous insulation system that pairs the strength of steel with the superior thermal performance of fiber-reinforced polymers; GreenGirt Steel, a robust solution delivering reliable continuous insulation support for a wide range of commercial applications; and SMARTci®, a comprehensive building enclosure system engineered to meet the demands of modern, energy-conscious construction. Additionally, GreenGirt CMH XO™ is a structural thermal framing system for windows and openings to optimize energy performance without compromising the window frame’s structural integrity. Together, these systems dramatically reduce a building's heating and cooling loads while supporting long-term resilience and sustainability goals. Architects and design professionals turn to A2P as a trusted technical partner, one that brings deep engineering expertise and proven innovation to every project, empowering teams to specify with confidence and build a greener, more efficient future.

Energy Efficient

A2P's sub-framing and cladding support systems deliver industry-leading thermal performance, achieving 92–99% energy efficiency. By integrating composite fiberglass with steel, the system eliminates thermal bridging, a critical failure point in steel-only assemblies, resulting in a superior building envelope that meets the demands of today's most rigorous energy standards.

Structural Capacity

A2P's systems deliver crosswise and lengthwise tensile strength comparable to steel Z-girts, providing the structural backbone to support and distribute loads with confidence. Engineered to accommodate heavyweight cladding and demanding wind loads, the system maintains its integrity against bending, deflection, and failure in even the most challenging building conditions.

Sustainably Engineered

Designed to meet the most stringent sustainability benchmarks, A2P's systems provide a clear path to certification under Green Globes, LEED, and Passive House programs. With an EPD-verified design, full Red List chemical compliance, and Declare Label certification, A2P sets the standard for responsible, high-performance building materials.
