How to Use Metal Building Insulation
Metal building insulation is used to insulate metal buildings, wood frame buildings, and concrete walls. For metal building roof insulation, it is installed over the roof purlins and/or in the purlin cavity. For walls, it is installed between the girts and the wall panel or in the girt cavity.
Metal Building Insulation Facings
Metal building insulation is available with a facing that can be laminated in one of our 18 lamination facilities. Facing provides a water vapor and/or radiant heat barrier to one side of the product. During metal building insulation installation, tabs on the facing can be used to secure the insulation into the wall or roof by using fasteners.

About Metal Building Insulation
Metal building insulation is fiberglass blanket insulation, often laminated to a vapor barrier for condensation control and left exposed.
What Is Metal Building Insulation?
Metal building insulation consists of a vapor barrier laminated to fiberglass blanket insulation and is custom cut to fit the building. The vapor barrier facing allows the insulation to be exposed, controls condensation, provides light reflectivity and can achieve longer lengths to span the widths of metal buildings.
Metal building insulation is a highly efficient method of insulating steel structures to meet required R-values and wide roof spans. It also provides thermal performance, comfort, sound absorption, and improved aesthetics.

Metal Building Insulation Benefits
Metal building insulation provides a number of benefits, including condensation control, sound absorption, and improved aesthetics.
Condensation Control
Metal building insulation is key to high thermal performance for your metal building. Metal building insulation provides effective condensation control, helping to keep moisture at bay and protecting construction from costly damage. As a result, it also improves energy efficiency of the building.
Sound Absorption
Metal building insulation is known to have great sound absorption qualities. Whether you are using it for a roof, a wall, or throughout the entire building, you can expect high-quality sound absorption from metal building insulation products, such as facings, barriers, and fiberglass blanket insulation.
Improved Aesthetics
Metal building insulation is great for improving the aesthetics in a metal building. Metal building insulation can be installed to hide the purlins in the building for a clean appearance, and it can provide light reflectivity, which can reduce the need for additional lighting requirements. Whether it’s the owner or the project manager wanting improved aesthetics, you can get the look you want with metal building insulation like fiberglass blanket insulation and laminated facings.
