How the PAG System Works

​

A fixed air gap + true thermal break = total moisture prevention.

​

The PAG Thermally Isolated Stand-Off System stops cold-surface condensation at the source.


Instead of hiding moisture, trapping moisture, or reacting to moisture later — PAG prevents it from forming in the first

​

place.

​

​

​

PAG works by controlling the two physics variables that create every major failure in metal assemblies:

​

  • Temperature differential (cold bridging)

  • Moisture contact (condensation on cold surfaces)

​

The result is a controlled, protected environment that stays above dew point and never traps water.

The Three Core Components

​

1. The Thermal Break

Prevents cold from transferring through fasteners, metal framing, or substrates. Keeps the interior face of metal warm — eliminating cold bridging.

​

2. The Fixed, Engineered Air Gap

A protected cavity that never collapses, compresses, or fills with wet insulation. Maintains airflow balance and keeps surfaces above dew point.

​

3. Structural Stand-Offs

Precision-spaced supports that lock the air gap in place and carry the load without thermal transfer. Together, these three components create the first truly controlled moisture-prevention system for walls, roofs, and enclosed assemblies.

**Condensation doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because physics allow it.**

​

PAG eliminates the physics conditions required for condensation to form:

​

  • Warm, moist air never touches a cold metal surface.

  • Metal stays above dew point because thermal break + spacing prevents cold bridging.

  • Moisture cannot hide behind insulation because air movement prevents trapped water

  • Spray foam and insulation no longer bond to metal, removing hidden corrosion zones.

​

Instead of reacting to moisture damage, PAG removes the conditions that create moisture.

The Physics Are Simple

​

  • Keep the metal warm.

  • Keep the interior face above dew point.

  • Keep moisture from making surface contact.

  • Keep insulation off the metal.

  • Maintain a fixed, uniform air space.

​

Do all five — moisture cannot form.


PAG does all five every single time.

​

Traditional Methods Fail Because:

  • Insulation is pressed against cold metal.

  • Spray foam bonds to panels, trapping moisture permanently.

  • Thermal bridging pulls cold directly inside.

  • Vapor barriers only hide moisture — they do not prevent it.

  • Panel cavities become moisture traps.

PAG Works Because:

  • The thermal break stops cold bridging.

  • The air gap keeps the metal above dew point.

  • Stand-offs maintain structure and spacing forever.

  • Moisture never touches the metal.

  • Assemblies stay dry, warm, and stable for decades.
