Insulation

WHY INSULATE A METAL BUILDING?

The right insulation system can develop a metal building’s long-term structural integrity and add years to its lifespan. Here are just some of the benefits of finding the right insulation system for your metal building:

​

• Added insulation value

• Managed interior climate control

• Reduced heat loss and heat gain

• Increased sound absorption

• Decreased condensation

• Improved air barrier with various facings

PURPOSES & BENEFITS OF

INSULATING A METAL BUILDING

Insulating a metal building properly does more than conserve energy, it promotes comfortable living and profitable savings. Learn the many ways you can benefit from metal building insulation.

​

STABILIZES THE BUILDING’S TEMPERATURE

By reducing the heat flow into and out of a metal building structure, metal building insulation provides a building envelope that enables the heating and cooling system to reliably control the interior building temperature.

​

LIMITS THE BUILDING’S MOISTURE

For years, metal building insulation‘s primary job was to reduce condensation that was created with temperature differentiation between inside and outside temperatures. This is still the case, however, insulation is also helping to reduce thermal bridging that can create heat loss and condensation.

Perm ratings: the perm rating measures the facing’s ability to reduce or eliminate moisture transmission, reinforcing that fiberglass performs better.

​

ABSORBS SOUND

With extra interior padding, metal building insulation keeps sound inside, resulting in happy neighbors and improved sound quality within the building’s interior. This is especially beneficial if you’re working with loud machinery.
