Re-Insulating Can Give Your Building A Facelift & Save Energy

Buildings that were not insulated properly, or that have old torn insulation, can contribute to many problems. Condensation and thermal energy loss are at the top of the list. Adding new insulation can not only make an old building look new, but it can add additional R-Value which saves energy and money in the long run.

With energy costs rising there is a growing trend to seal air leaks as well as add insulation to existing metal buildings. This is referred to as an insulation retrofit. Retrofitting insulation between purlins or wall girts not only saves on energy bills, but it also addresses any existing condensation issues.

Weathered Insulation

Torn and weathered insulation not only looks bad, but it contributes to air leaks and thermal energy loss. Loss of energy and heat from inadequate insulation thickness, torn coverings and fiberglass significantly can increase cost of ownership and bottom line business overhead costs. Symptoms of a poor performing building envelope can be recognized with haphazard use of space heaters, fans and existing mechanical turning on and off frequently. The biggest culprit significantly increasing energy drain in a steel building remains to be created from an under insulated, unsealed building envelope.                     See More

Retro-Fit Insulation Over Old Insulation

Adding a new layer of insulation not only gives your building a facelift but it also seals up all the air leaks. A properly insulated building separates your building from the outer elements. It is like wearing a coat when it is cold. You leave the coat open and the cold rushes in and when you zip it up the heat is quickly retained. Steel Building Insulation Company can provide a new layer of fiberglass with a clean white vapor retarder facing for efficient thermal performance or just the facing material for a new seal and new look.

Condensation Due To Inadequate Insulation Buildings that have inadequate insulation can cause condensation. In most cases constructors of new metal buildings compress up to 6” R-19 faced blankets between the girts and/or purlins and the exterior panels. This acts as somewhat of a thermal break, however, it does not provide a high R-Value because it is limited to 6” insulation or less with compression at the purlins. Double layer, high R-Value systems work well with thermal blocks to prevent condensation. If installed correctly, this gives a high R-Value, a continuous vapor barrier, and a thermal break.

Insulation is the Gift that Keeps on Giving…Re-insulating or adding insulation to your building can save you A LOT of money. Some building owners have reported 50% savings on immediate energy costs! & a complete payback on their initial insulation costs within two years. Investments in the right insulation system can significantly lower a building owners lifetime “cost of ownership”. Steel Building Insulation provides all types of insulation systems, from basic quality single layer faced fiberglass insulation systems to premium insulation systems with the highest levels of thermal (R- Value) and air tightness performance. www.SteelBuildingInsulation.com Holiday Insulation Special!

Insulated foam panels can yield as much as 30% reduction in a buildings energy use

One of the biggest sources of a buildings heat loss (or heat gain) is due to air leakage. Foam filled panels have been rigorously tested to ensure that they remain both air and weather tight over the life of the building. Designed for fast track construction these panels are a complete, finished panel with many exterior options to choose from. Exterior finishes include embossed, smooth and textured.

Roof panels are offered in high rib, standing seam and solar with thickness options of 1.5”, 2”, 2.5”, 3”, 4”, 5” and 6”.

High R Values –Steel panels insulated with a foam core and a steel interior panel offer a superior thermal performance with R Values up to R-48. These panels isolate the outer steel panel from the interior steel frame eliminating thermal transfer. This foam panel provides an unbroken thermal shield against energy – heat transfer. Panel finishes are available with a high performance sustainable roof and wall finishes satisfying architectural sensitive design boards including a pre-applied acrylic aggregate stucco finish factory applied over primed steel panels.

Insulation Attachment Methods for Attaching Insulation on Steel Buildings

Attachment Methods

Foil Coated Black or White Insulation Tape

   Click Here for More Info…

Double Faced Insulation Tape

The Double sided insulation tape holds the blankets into place before the exterior wall sheets are installed.

Insulation Banding

Click Here for More Info…

In metal buildings banding can be used to secure metal roof insulation or in the walls (most commonly used in the roof.) Steel bands typically 1” wide are screwed to the underside of the metal purlin (or wood truss in a pole barn) 30” apart creating a grid system. Commonly used in double layer High R-Value metal roof insulation systems and in Retro-Fit insulation applications. To calculate the amount needed, multiply your metal roof square footage x 40%. Rolls are typically 500′ long. Click Here for More Info…

InsulHold

Ideal for new construction where high R-Values are required, or in retrofit to help hold insulation in place and from sagging. Arrows, which are contoured for strength, stick within the fiberglass and provide holding power to the insulation. InsulHold bands are used independently for hanging insulation, however, for additional support steel banding, steel liner panel, or an insulation fabric covering such as Energy Saver are optional.
