Vinyl-Faced Fiberglass Insulation | White Vinyl-Faced Insulation
Finally, a Vinyl-Faced Fiberglass Insulation cost-plus program is available to the general public
Material Cost +Service Fee =Your Total Cost.
A cost-plus buying program eliminates the confusion and inflated pricing common in traditional insulation sales. There are no commission payouts, no dealer markups, and no hidden costs—ever.
Instead, pricing is completely transparent:
- The wholesale material cost is shown upfront
- The service fee (profit) is clearly separated
Here’s how it works:
You pay the seller a clearly defined service fee—that’s the only charge from them. Then, you pay the certified supplier directly for the actual wholesale cost of the black-and-white vinyl-faced insulation. No middlemen. No surprises. Just real savings!

Tape, Banding, and Installation Accessories
Tape, banding, and screws will match the color of the chosen insulation facing. List desired items on the order form.
Double-Sided Tape
$35
3″ x 150′. Recommended one roll per 2,000 square feet.
Double-sided tape is usually applied before installing sheeting. It temporarily holds the insulation in place until the sheeting is installed.
Patch Tape
$35 ($25 for same-day call as order).
1/2″ x 60′. Recommended one roll per 15,000 to patch. If sealing around doors, windows etc., order additional rolls.
Used to repair tears, seal gaps, joints, and seams, ensuring a continuous thermal barrier.
Insul-Holds
$78
100′ in length
These hangers will keep the heavier vinyl-faced insulation R-values from sagging in the cavity over time.
Has hooks (arrow prongs) spaced every 8″ inches on center.
Banding
$175
One roll of 500′ banding per 1,000 square foot of coverage.
This is usually bought when installing vinyl-faced insulation in a retrofit project. It helps prevent the insulation from sagging and shifting.
The Best Ways to Secure Fiberglass Insulation
| Building Type | Best Method | Strength | Speed | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I-Beam (Red Iron) | Banding + Saddle Clips and or Screws | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ | Large commercial spans |
| Tube Steel | Screws + Washers | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Shops, garages |
| Pole Building | Staples / Cap Nails | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Barns, post-frame |
I-Beam: Banding & Screws
Usually, clips are used with banding in Insulation Liner Systems, not for most retrofitted I-beam projects. Banding with self-tapping screws is used.
*Attach banding to the purlins or framing with the self-tapping 3/4″ Tek screws.
*Keep the banding tight and in place
*Installed at each purlin intersection
*Banding spaced 12″–24″
Tube Steel: Screws & Washers
Tube structures don’t work well with banding systems.
Use 2″–3″ insulation washers (critical!). The washer spreads pressure so the facing doesn’t tear.
*Walls: 12″–18″ apart
*Roof: 6″–12″ apart (more stress + gravity)
Tighter spacing = less sagging. Run insulation perpendicular to framing. Pull it tight (not stretched) before fastening with screws.
Pole Buildings: Staple or Cap Nail System
Insulation is attached directly to wood using heavy-duty staples or cap nails.
Use cap nails instead of staples for heavier facings (like WMP-30 or WMP-50) to prevent tearing.
Insulation attachments that are often used with tube buildings
Standard Insulation Roll Sizes
Widths: 4′, 5′, and 6′.
Length: 16′-100′
Tabs: 2-3″ or request 1-6″.
Custom Insulation Roll Sizes
8’ wide facing is available! It is offered only with WMP-30, which is 101”. This would result in (2) 2.5” tabs.
The narrowest facing is 42”, which is typically used for 36” fiberglass, which would give you (2) 3” tabs (one each side) or (1) 6” tab (one 6” and the other side has facing/insulation with no tab).
So, if 24” fiberglass is desired, you would have (2) 9” tabs, due to the use of 42” facing. If someone wants 36” fiberglass…the same 42” facing would be used, but it would result in (2) 3” tabs.
A cut charge applies to 24” and 36” fiberglass. For budgetary purposes, charging the 24” at the 36” price should cover the cost. Same with 36” at the 48” price.
A cut charge applies to length cuts under 16′. For budgetary purposes, approximately $0.4 per ft.
Vapor Barrier Protection-Perm Ratings
An excellent vapor-barrier protection is ≤0.02 perms.
*WMP-VR: ≤0.09 perms
*WMP-VR-R+:≤0.02 perms
*WMP-10: ≤0.02 perms
*WMP-30: ≤0.02 perms
*WMP-50: ≤0.02 perms
This means condensation control is nearly identical across all four facings offered on this website. The differences are primarily the strength and durability of the facings, not vapor control.

Why Contractors and the Public Buy From Factory Steel Overstock
Transparent Cost-Plus Pricing
Everyone wants the lowest possible prices without compromising on quality. With Factory Steel Overstock’s transparent cost-plus pricing, contractors and the public get exactly that! They see the real cost – before added profits – and predetermined profit amounts upfront for FREE! They no longer have to buy from traditional commission-based salespeople who often over-inflate margins for their own benefit. They can utilize FSO’s buying leverage, expertise, and specialized knowledge to secure savings. In an era when deceptive sales tactics are common, FSO stands apart with a no-gimmicks, no-hidden-cost philosophy—where customers never overpay.
Sellers and Buyers Equally Benefit from the Cost-Plus Program
Factory Steel Overstock’s cost-plus program has a simple selling philosophy: reduce its operational cost, and these savings will be passed down to you. Most people’s selling practices are retail-oriented; they call to request a quote without knowing when, or even if, they will purchase, regardless of the price they receive. This behavior isn’t inherently wrong, but it will always result in a retail price. How can it not? It doesn’t provide the seller an opportunity to reduce operational costs.
Factory Steel Overstock’s customers reduce its operational costs by being prepared to pay the service fee (profit amount) after receiving confirmed savings. Win-Win!
💰Why the FSO Cost-Plus Program Exists💰
Traditional sellers who use commission-based salespeople have been found to mark up insulation by 15 to 100%.
Factory Steel Overstock uses a fairer and clearer model. It’s called Cost- Plus.

Fiberglass vs Spray Foam vs Reflective Insulation
All insulation types have their market niche, as well as pros and cons. Factory Steel Overstock could offer every insulation type; however, it to offers what the most cost-effective insulation for metal buildings and pole barns, which in fiberglass vinyl faced insulation.
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. Ready buyers, call 1-888-512-1116.
