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.
