As energy costs continue to soar nationwide, more and more Oklahoma metal building owners, architects and contractors are investing in insulation retrofits in an effort to make their steel building or buildings more energy efficient.

Steel Building Insulation, a division of Building Outlet Corp., has been a leading provider of metal building insulation, retrofit insulation and related products and accessories to consumers from Oklahoma and across the U.S. for more than 30 years, with more than half of the vinyl-faced fiberglass insulation volume they distribute nationally now being used for retrofit application projects. Investing in high r-value insulation systems has proven to pay substantial dividends over a lifetime, and retrofit insulation product prices have remained consistent despite increasing consumer demand amidst steadily climbing thermal energy costs.

In addition to offering a sizable reduction in energy bills and considerably lowering a metal building owner’s overall cost of ownership, applying retrofit insulation offers a variety of other benefits, including improved comfort, moisture and sound control. With a broad variety of products designed to accommodate retrofit projects of any size, and access to more than 400 installers and 50 different laminating and shipping points nationwide, Steel Building Insulation has successfully streamlined both the purchase and installation process.

Our foam insulation panels and fiberglass insulation blankets for insulating roofs and walls are available with a wide range of R-values depending on the level of thermal resistance desired. For wall insulation retrofit projects, we also distribute stick pins, steel banding and InsulHold coils for InsulHold applications, which hold retrofit applications in place.

For roof metal building insulation retrofit projects, we generally recommend applying new insulation using a banding system. In this type of application, steel bands are affixed to the underside of the metal purlin to create a grid system within the roof. Our factory, precut rolls are then installed above the steel bands and secured, holding the fiberglass insulation blankets in place.

Whether you’re looking to reduce energy costs through roof insulation, wall insulation or both, Steel Building Insulation will simplify the process, ensuring that you end up with the highest quality products at the lowest possible price – and that your investment will pay for itself in a short time by substantially reducing your metal building’s heating and cooling bills.
