WMP-50 vinyl-faced insulation is the ideal choice for high-abuse areas that require extra durability.
The metalized polyester back allows it to reflect radiant heat away from the structure.
WMP stands for “White Metalized Polyethylene”. The metallized backing included with WMP-VR-R-(plus) and WMP-50 reflects radiant heat, which may be beneficial in certain applications. As a general rule, the higher the number after WMP, the thicker and stronger the insulation, and the more expensive it becomes. However, the WMP-VR-R (plus) is our most popular insulation facing, as it handles most applications and is the easiest to install. If you want a facing that’s going to hold up for a long time under more strenuous conditions, the premium strength of WMP-50 makes sense. However, if your application doesn’t demand its level of abuse resistance, you may be paying for more than you need.
Flexibility: The WMP-30 & 50 is stiffer; in tight or complicated installations, they can be harder to work with than the WMP-VR-R (plus) and WMP-10. Appearance: The kraft side of WMP-10 & 30 may wrinkle less noticeably or recover more nicely over time than metallized polyester.
| Facing | Breathability | Vapor Control | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| WMP-10 | High | Low | Dry climates, low humidity, unconditioned spaces |
| WMP-30 | Medium | Medium | Light-to-moderate humidity, mixed climates |
| WMP-50 | Low | High | Cold climates, moderate humidity, durability needs |
| WMP-VR / VR Plus | Very low | Very high | High humidity, pools, food processing, corrosion-sensitive buildings |

Fiberglass Vinyl faced Insulation vs Spray Foam
COST:
One of the most expensive insulation options on the market is Spray foam. Unlike fiberglass, which is a popular DIY material due to its ease of installation, spray foam is far more labor-intensive and usually requires professional application. With a metal building, a layman simply rolls the vinyl-faced insulation over the purlins and girts, then pins it down while installing the sheeting material. Although Spray Foam may offer a higher per square foot thermal efficiency than fiberglass viny faced, one has to consider the additional initial investment required.
HEALTH FACTORS:
One must also consider that the chemicals used in spray foam can release toxic gases if not installed properly. That is not an issue with fiberglass vinyl-faced insulation. It is imperative that one verifies that the space being insulated is well-ventilated and that all safety measures are implemented during installation.
EXPANSION:
Fiberglass Vinyl-faced insulation is not going to expand; however, the nature of spray foam is to expand as it cures. This can sometimes lead to unwanted pressure on drywall and framing if not closely watched during installation.
Fiberglass Vinyl-faced Insulation vs Reflective
Effectiveness in Cold Climates
Reflective insulation is designed to reflect radiant heat away from your metal building or pole barn; therefore, it is an ideal insulation type in hot climates. Its primary purpose is to keep your structure cool; however, most locations require insulation to address climate conditions for all seasons. In other words, an insulation that also deals with winter temperatures. Reflective insulation has a limited ability to resist heat flow, which makes it less effective in cold climates. For this reason, fiberglass vinyl-faced insulation is a more practical choice.
Airspace Installation Requirements
Simply put, reflective insulation requires a gap to be effective, and there are situations where this may be a challenge during installation. This is not a requirement with Fiberglass Vinyl-faced insulation.
Although all insulation types have their market niche, pros and cons, fiberglass vinyl-faced insulation is the most preferred type for DIY projects. Questions, call 1-888-512-1116.
