Insulation & Girts
EEWS uses ROCKWOOL Cavity Rock, Owens Corning Therma-fiber, National Gypsum Perma-base, T Clear Corporation Proguard, Masterwall, and EPS board insulation installed over sheathing to achieve maximum thermal performance, fire resistance, and sound attenuation. Certain of these offer the compressive strength and durability to act as substrate for brick and stone.
EEWS engineers and fabricates its girts to provide proper support of outboard insulation and cladding materials in its prefabricated systems. Girts can be fabricated from galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel, thermally neutral fiberglass, or a combination of materials depending on project performance requirements and details. EEWS uses Smart ci green girts, Knight Wall, and Nvelope by SFS in addition to the galvanized, aluminum, and stainless steel girts it fabricates in-house.
FAQ
What types of insulation does EEWS offer?
What types of insulation does EEWS offer?

Maximizing The benefits Of Prefabrication
Design Assist
Our collaborative process unites one experienced team from design through installation. In-house Revit-certified designers ensure every detail is carefully planned and executed. Early alignment on goals and continuous design and budget feedback keep projects on track. This streamlined approach eliminates inefficiencies and delivers reliable, high-quality results.
Safer Job Site
Our panelized enclosure system reduces on-site labor and shortens the project timeline, cutting labor costs. Pre-engineered and assembled off-site, it eliminates material storage, site congestion, and waste. Fewer trades are needed on-site, creating a cleaner, safer work environment. This streamlined process also lowers the risk of accidents and boosts site efficiency.
Quality Assurance
Our panelized systems provide superior thermal, moisture, and air performance through a continuous, high-quality enclosure. Assembled in a controlled facility, components like AVB, windows, and louvers are installed with precision. A single expert team handles multiple trades, reducing gaps and delays. This process also simplifies inspections and ensures consistent quality.
Building Enclosure Speed
Prefabricated panel systems greatly speed up the building enclosure process. Off-site fabrication in a controlled environment allows for faster dry-in and earlier interior work. This reduces weather delays and shortens the overall schedule. It’s an ideal solution for projects with tight timelines or phased occupancy.
Coordinated Engineered Interfaces Solutions
Our system features fully coordinated, engineered interfaces for seamless integration of all enclosure components. Key details are resolved during design and fabrication, avoiding on-site conflicts. This approach minimizes field adjustments and ensures consistent quality. The result is a unified, high-performing building envelope from day one.
Logistics
Prefabricated enclosure systems streamline logistics by reducing the volume of material delivered to and stored on-site. With just-in-time delivery and panels arriving in sequence, site congestion, waste, and handling are minimized. This controlled flow of materials supports cleaner, safer job sites and simplifies coordination among trades. The result is a more efficient, organized construction process that aligns with modern lean building practices.
Thermal Performance
When design allows, increasing opaque wall areas with prefabricated systems can greatly improve thermal performance. Fewer unitized joints enhance energy efficiency and air-tightness. These systems also offer broad cladding flexibility, giving architects more design freedom. In this case, the prefabricated enclosure is over four times more energy efficient than a traditional glass curtain wall.
