Insulation Benefits

NAIMA 202-96© fiber glass metal building insulation is engineered to meet the unique thermal and acoustical requirements of today's metal building designers, plus the cost control needs of building owners, and the ease-of-application needs of builders.

  • Controls Heat flow

    Metal building insulation acts as a barrier to slow down the movement of heat, keeping it inside the building in winter and outside the building in summer. By controlling the rate of heat transfer through the building, insulation reduces energy consumption, resulting in lower fuel billsand a cleaner environment.

  • Prevents Condensation

    Metal building insulation with a vapor retarder facing limits the passage of water vapor and prevents it from condensing within the insulation or on the interior surfaces of the building.

  • Controls Noise

    Metal building insulation greatly reduces the level of both exterior and interior noise by preventing transmission of exterior sounds to the interior of the building and absorbing reverberating sounds within the building.

  • Increases Lighting Efficiency

    The laminated facings on metal building insulation provide a bright, attractive wall and ceiling treatment that acts as a reflector to increase lighting efficiency.

Installation Instructions

  • Wall Installation

    Insulation is most commonly provided in 6-foot wide rolls. For walls, the insulation blankets are rolled out from the eave to the base, then stuck to the red iron by use of double faced tape, provided with your insulation package. The tape holds the insulation temporarily before the wall panels are screwed into place.

    A common option available from our company is a taped tab. This is a tab or extension of the facing which seals a seam where two pieces of insulation come together. This tab, optional when specified, has a factory pre-applied adhesive (double faced tape). The installer peals paper off the tape and adheres it once the insulation is in place. This makes it easy to seal the seams.

  • Roof Installation

    Insulation is rolled out perpendicular to the purlins before the roof panel is installed over the top. Tabs can be taped or non-taped.
