ProChannel Ci Wall System

Dec. 23, 2025

This thermally efficient structural exterior rainscreen wall cladding attachment system is intended to minimize penetrations through the insulation and AWRB layers. It features the self-sealing Grip-Deck TubeSeal fastening system from TRUFAST Walls that helps seal the blind fastener penetration at the AWRB behind the layer of continuous insulation. Thermal-bridging is also reduced by the TubeSeal which prevents contact between the screw and the channel, creating a thermal-break.

2025 PIA Judge's Comment:

"ProChannel Ci is a true 2024 innovation that addresses a long-standing weakness in CI assemblies: thermal bridging and leakage at fastener penetrations. By pairing a ventilated 7/8" rainscreen channel with TubeSeal fasteners that compress and self-seal through WRBs, the system elevates both air/water performance and constructability. This is a notable building-envelope advancement, even if full material-health disclosures remain limited."
