Metal Stamping for Ventilated Facade Systems
Eliminate Thermal Bridging & Accelerate Cladding Installation with Custom Thermal Clips
Bring your thermal clip to life with reliable, high-precision manufacturing. As continuous insulation standards become stricter across North America, traditional wall assemblies with heavy thermal bridging are no longer viable. Whether you are a cladding installer, facade engineer, or system manufacturer, Punch Tools provides high-volume, precision-stamped metal components designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern ventilated curtain wall and rainscreen sub-framing systems.
Have a custom thermal bracket, facade clip design, or other components of ventilated facade systems? Our tool-and-die and metal stamping experts turn engineered designs into high-volume production reality with unmatched accuracy, consistency, and lead-time reliability.

Why Partner with Punch Tools?
- Outsource Manufacturing Friction: Eliminate in-house tooling delays and quality control head-aches.
- Scale Cost-Effectively: Leverage high-speed stamping dies for unbeatable per-unit costs at high volumes.
- Accelerate Project Bidding: Win more architectural bids with reliable lead times and guaranteed component consistency.
Engineered for Ventilated Rainscreen Performance
As facade designs evolve toward higher thermal efficiency and heavier cladding materials (FCR, terracotta, fiber cement, metal composite panels), sub-framing components must support structural wind and dead loads while maintaining continuous insulation.
From Z-girts, wall brackets, and adjustable rainscreen clips to perforated ventilation panels and cosmetic louvers, Punch Tools delivers custom-stamped components designed to optimize air cavity performance and simplify field installation.
Why Precision Stamping for Thermal Clips?
Utilizing advanced progressive tooling and stamping technologies, we manufacture thermal clips that surpass structural and thermal standards:
- Unmatched Cost Efficiency: High-speed output keeps production costs low for large-scale commercial builds.
- Material Versatility: Stamping in Stainless Steel (304/316), Aluminum, Galvanized Steel, and Structural Composites.
- Complex Geometry: Precision punching for thermal isolator break notches, adjustment slots, and structural ribbing.

Code-Compliant Stamping for High-Performance Building Envelopes
Are your ventilated facade clips designed to meet stringent energy and structural standards? Partner with a metal stamper who understands modern envelope requirements:
- Continuous Insulation (ci) & Thermal Bridging Reduction: Stamped to integrate seamlessly with thermal isolator pads and minimize thermal break loss.
- National Building Code of Canada & NECB 2020: (NBC 2020—Division B, Part 3 & Part 9 & NECB 2020 Sections 3.2–7.2)
- BC Building Code: Insulation Continuity (9.36.2.5) & Assembly Thermal Performance (9.36.2.6–9.36.2.8).
- Alberta Building Code & SB-10 Compliance.
- CSA A440: Energy performance guidelines for curtain walls and fenestration attachment.
- IECC 2021: International Energy Conservation Code (R402.4 & C402.5).
Meeting BC Energy Step Code & Zero Carbon Step Code Standards
The BC Energy Step Code and Zero Carbon Step Code set clear benchmarks for energy-efficient building envelopes on the path to net-zero construction by 2032.
- Net-Zero Targets: High-performance rainscreen systems must drastically minimize thermal bridging while managing moisture and airflow within ventilated cavities.
- Continuous Thermal Envelope: Thermal clips are essential structural components—allowing rainscreen cladding panels to cantilever safely past heavy continuous exterior insulation without compromising thermal integrity.
- Passive House & High-Efficiency Builds: Precision metal stampings allow engineered attachment systems to provide structural support.
