Metal Building Insulation

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need insulation? 

An insulation R-value is the measurement of a material’s ability to stop heat and cold transfer.  No matter what a metal building’s usage, insulating it will be of value.  Because of the unique nature of a steel building, it requires a vapor barrier and radiant barrier. 

• The summer heat (sun’s ray) on a steel surface will create extreme heat temperatures inside the building.
• In addition, the cold winter temperatures are exaggerated by the metal roof and wall sheeting making it frigid inside.  Warm temperatures coming in contact with cool metal roof or walls create sweating (condensation). 

Q: What R-Values Do You Offer?

A: We offer R-Value 7 to 38. Reflective insulation is quoted same day and Fiberglass insulation within 1 business day.

Q: Can I select the width of the insulation?

You can in most cases with Fiberglass; not with reflective.  Reflective widths are predetermined.  Though Fiberglass insulation can be cut to the width you desire, the tabs may be extended to the standard insulation width.

Q: Which insulation type should I choose?

A: Our customers are equally satisfied with both Reflective insulation and our Fiberglass insulation types. Seemingly customers located in the North are more apt to buy our fiberglass blanket materials and customers located in the South tend to purchase our reflective materials. This may be because of a familiarity with a insulation type ; however are most popular purchase nationally is our High R-Value 22 Reflective Insulation .  If your building has ALREADY  been erected, the reflective insulation will be quicker to install because it is lighter and can be cut and maneuvered around rafters easier than fiberglass. 

 Do I need a forklift to unload?

A: No, rolls are generally no more than 3′ diameter and packaged for easy unload from truck.

Q: Can I mix the types of insulation you offer?

A: Yes, however, we cannot calculate exact final R-Value when you mix types.

Q: What is the delivery window?

A: Insulation ONLY orders- Reflective is delivered usually within 7 – 10 days and fiberglass 14.

Q: Do I need to be present to sign off for delivery?

A: Yes, unless you inform us differently . Shipper will contact you directly to schedule delivery appointment.
