The Hitch™ cladding attachment system is a patented modular device for rain screen and exterior wall assemblies offering a thermally broken and intermittent structural solution. Hitch™ is unparalleled when it comes to structural capacity, flexibility, and thermal performance.

Building codes and high-performance energy standards like Passive House and Net-Zero are evolving to meet multiple objectives, including reducing energy consumption and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The most efficient methods of insulating a building’s exterior walls are those that incorporate the principals of continuous exterior insulation with no or minimal thermal bridging to limit thermal loss. Hitch™ can achieve effective R-values exceeding R60 for various types of wall assemblies while supporting heavy cladding loads in high wind load and seismic conditions.

The Hitch™ system can accommodate continuous exterior insulation thicknesses between 1” and 16” and is therefore suitable for use in all Passive House and ASHRAE climate zones across North America.
