Two Problems.
One Solution.
Parker AGI.
Simple Physics — Serious Results.
​
The PAG Thermally Isolated Stand-Off System combines a fixed, protected air gap with a true thermal break to prevent the two root causes of building-assembly failures: cold bridging and cold-surface condensation. One engineered system solving two major structural problems — across any insulation type, any structure, and any environment.

Why Condensation Happens — and Why Traditional Insulation Fails
Condensation is a physics problem — not a material or installation issue.
When warm, moist air meets a cold metal surface, the temperature drops below dew point. Moisture forms instantly, spreads behind insulation, and becomes trapped inside the assembly. Over time, this hidden moisture destroys structures from the inside out.
The Result:
-
Rust and corrosion
-
Biological growth and rot
-
Fastener and panel degradation
-
Insulation collapse or saturation
-
Water staining and long-term structural damage
​
Traditional insulation methods press insulation directly against cold metal.
They do nothing to change the surface temperature or remove the moisture pathway — guaranteeing recurring condensation risk in every climate.
Parker AGI eliminates the root conditions that cause condensation in the first place.
The PAG Thermally Isolated Stand-Off System
Simple physics. Serious results.
PAG solves moisture and condensation failures by keeping metal above dew point — permanently.
Using a dedicated air gap, true thermal isolation, and engineered stand-offs, PAG stops cold-surface moisture before it can form.
How It Works
-
Dedicated Air Gap
Creates separation between metal and insulation so moisture can’t condense or stay trapped. -
True Thermal Isolation
Stand-offs prevent thermal bridging, keeping the metal’s interior surface temperature stable. -
Engineered Stand-Offs
Structurally designed to maintain spacing, strengthen the assembly, and eliminate points of failure. -
Moisture Control at the Source
Instead of trying to manage water after it forms — PAG prevents the physics that create condensation.
The Physics Are Simple
Keep the metal warm.
Keep the surface above dew point.
Stop condensation before it starts.
Why Traditional Approaches Fail — and PAG Doesn’t
Most moisture-control failures happen because builders try to fight moisture after it forms.
PAG fixes the root cause: cold-surface condensation, driven by temperature, humidity, and physics — not by workmanship.
Traditional Installations Create the Problem
-
Insulation placed directly against metal traps moisture.
-
Thermal bridging pulls heat out of the structure.
-
Vapor barriers only hide condensation — they don’t prevent it.
-
Spray foam sticks to metal, causing hidden corrosion and long-term failures.
These systems don’t control dew point.
They just react to damage later.
PAG Removes the Root Cause
PAG is the first system engineered to prevent condensation before it starts:
-
Keeps metal above dew point through thermal isolation
-
Maintains a fixed, uniform air gap that stops moisture formation
-
Prevents thermal bridging with purpose-designed stand-offs
-
Allows air to move, eliminating hidden wet zones
-
Protects metal, insulation, and structure for decades
Simple. Predictable. Proven by Physics.
You don’t need guesswork when you understand the source.
PAG provides the missing component every metal assembly requires — a controlled, thermally isolated air gap
