Wall Installation
Typically the first girt is 7’4”
above the floor with the upper
girt spacing being 6’ or less. In this application the insulation between the 7' 4" girt is installed vertically. Above that the insulation is installed horizontally. A base angle must be installed
at the floor of the perimeter of
the insulated area. This will provide
an attachment point for the facing
as well as help seal the bottom and
provide a moisture barrier. When the upper girts are less than 6', the insulation rolls are factory
pre-cut to the proper size then
laminated to the fiber glass and labeled
accordingly. In some instances the first girt is not 7' 4" and all girts are 6' or less. All insulation is installed horizontally in this case.
Stick Pins
Stick pins can be applied to a clean steel surface
with glue to hang the blankets. Once the insulation
is installed over a stick pin, a
friction washer is placed over the pin
to keep the insulation in place. The
pointed pin tips are then cut off with a
wire cutter. This
application gives
you a quilted look. |

Roof Installation
Typically, metal
building purlins
are spaced 5’
apart. 5’ fiberglass
blankets
are standard. Anything other than 5’
wide can be factory pre- cut to fit the
existing purlin spacing prior to lamination.
The factory pre-cut roll length is
then determined by the spacing of the
bays or the distance between the rigid
frames. The purlin depth varies with
8” being the most common. All rolls
are cut, then labeled to help insure that
the blankets are placed in the proper
space.
Banding System
The most common method of
adding insulation to a metal building
roof is with a banding system. Steel
bands, typically 1” wide (depending
on the manufacturer) are screwed to the under side of the metal purlin 30” apart creating a grid system in the roof.
The factory pre-cut rolls are then fed
through, above the steel bands and secured. The steel bands act as a support to the fiberglass blankets. |

InsulHold
Ideal 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, however, for additional support steel banding, steel liner panel, or an insulation fabric covering such as Energy Saver are optional. |
