Metal Building Insulation

Metal buildings can often amplify sound. Have you ever been in a building with a tin roof when it’s raining? It can get pretty loud. Adding metal building insulation can help absorb this sound, minimizing the amount of noise transfer.

In general, metal is a much better heat conductor than wood. Which can cause a drastic fluctuation in temperatures indoors, depending on the temperatures outdoors. This can lead to energy loss and create the potential for condensation to form — which is dangerous for the overall structure. Adding insulation for metal buildings in walls and roofs can help maintain temperatures — improving overall indoor comfort, reducing energy loss which can reduce heating and cooling costs. 

How to Get the Most Out of Your Insulation

To make sure you’re getting the maximum benefits, you’ll need insulation with the proper R-value. R-value refers to the insulation’s ability to resist heat flow. The greater the R-value the greater the insulating performance. R-value requirements are different based on your location. Colder climates will typically require a higher R-Value for even greater thermal resistance. Use the energy code map as your go-to guide for determining R-value for your region.
