New Construction 

  1. Place double-sided tape on frame (this keeps insulation from blowing during install).
  2. Roll out insulation over the purlins and guts running the insulation perpendicular to framing.
  3. Place 1 inch by 4 inch spacer on insulation over the purlins.
  4. Roll out insulation over spacers
  5. Tape seams with reflective tape (or use Prodex Fast Action to avoid seam tape)
  6. Attach your sheeting.

 

Retrofit: Use a combination of glue (super metal sealant,) tape or screws to attach to side or underside of metal beams. You may install between beams or run opposite direction under beams to avoid having to cut. Tape seams with metal tape (or use Prodex Fast Action to avoid seam tape). Reflective insulation is most effective when incorporated with a 1 inch or more airspace on at least one side of product.
