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

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.

Environmental Sustainability of Steel Insulated Panels

Steel Insulated Panels Contribute to LEED Energy Certification Programs
& the path to Net-Zero Energy Targets!

Steel insulated wall panels and roof panels provide continuous, rigid insulation with High R-values and superior air tightness performance. This improves energy efficiency while ensuring a comfortable, stable interior environment. The steel insulated panels’ exterior materials contain a sustainable amount of recycled steel content and the panels themselves are reusable/recyclable. The recycled low weight materials are made with recaptured metals and are light to ship, reducing transport and installation energy.

Steel insulated panels last as long as the service life of a typical commercial steel building. The durable panels reduce operational costs for energy and maintenance, and offer multiple end-of-life reuse options.

Fiberglass Insulation Materials for Steel Buildings

Steel building insulation materials are designed to improve the insulation of a building while reducing thermal energy or heat loss. A thermal facing or reflective surface called a vapor retarder or radiant barrier is added to the insulating fiberglass material to reduce the transfer of heat through radiation as well as conduction. Facing materials that are applied to the insulating fiberglass blankets also serve as a protected cover over the fiberglass insulation. Facing materials offers a clean finished look to any metal building environment.

The fiberglass blanket thickness and measurement of the effectiveness to prevent the loss of heat flow is referred to as the R-value. When calculating the R-value of a multilayered insulation system, you should add the R-values of the individual layers. Adding more insulation layers in your steel building increases the R-value overall.

Remember that it is very important to properly install your insulation to achieve the maximum R-value. The amount of insulation or R-value needed depends on the climate, type of heating and cooling system, and the section of the building you plan to insulate. You can view recommended r-value measurements for your area at Energy Star’s Website.

Selection & proper installation of fiberglass insulation systems and the increases in energy efficiency requirements is a key component in the value delivered in a steel building.
