Securing Cladding to Girts from Inside of Building
Securing Cladding to Girts from Inside of Building
(OP)
We seem to have quite a few experts on building envelope on the forum, and I most certainly am not one of them. I'm trying to work out a detail to fix cladding to the girts from the inside of the building. The cladding comes up in sheets (pre assembled where insulated cladding is required) and then is screwed to the girts. I have come up with a less than elegant solution of screwing the cladding to subgirts and then sliding it into place and screwing it in. Alternately, if some kind of expanding screw is available that could be a better solution, but I need to find a suitable screw first. My sketch is attached, does anyone see glaring flaws or room for improvement?

Or, do you mean that the goal is to pre-attach the cladding sheets to some type of framing, then attach to the building (with the air/water barrier at the face of the building, and the cladding and framing to the exterior)?
