Standard metal building insulation is made up of standard batt insulation laminated on a vapour barrier to form “blanket insulation”. This type of insulation can be used in either unheated buildings as condensation and moisture protection or in fully heated buildings. In either unheated or heated buildings, metal building insulation (MBI) can: a. provide condensation […]

When a high r-value, above R20, is required in a pre-engineered metal building, one solution is a cavity filled insulation assembly in which the purlin and girt cavities are filled with batt insulation. These systems use strapping and a vapour barrier installed to the interior side of the girts/purlins. The cavity is filled in batt […]
