Metal Roof Vapor Barrier Insulation

To meet the unique insulation requirements of a metal roof you need a total insulation system prodex total insulation insulation radiant barrier vapor barrier.

Metal roof vapor barrier insulation.

Fiberglass and other traditional insulations for metal buildings resist heat loss by conduction and convection but has little effect on radiant heat gain loss. Not every wall does. In fact rhino s vapor retarder rates 300 stronger than the vinyl barriers typically offered by most metal building companies. The most common types of metal building insulation are radiant barrier fiberglass insulation rigid foam insulation and spray foam insulation.

The batts are located side to side on the rafter of the roof. Insulation and vapor barrier metal roofs and buildings require specific insulation and vapor barrier to meet the demands of condensation and breathability. A roof design that includes an adhered roof membrane with multiple layers of insulation with board joints offset and staggered over a vapor retarder air barrier helps lower the risk that air and the moisture it carries will infiltrate the roof system. Fiberglass batts or glass mineral wool metal roof insulation the most common material used for an insulating metal roof is fiberglass batts or glass mineral wool.

Felt underlayment provides little resistance to air and moisture vapor migration and does not serve as an effective air barrier. A vapor retarder is a material used to prevent water vapor from diffusing into the wall ceiling or floor during the cold winter. This tough and durable fabric barrier lasts and lasts.

Architectural metal roofs with felt underlayment are best suited for buildings with proper slope and low moisture loads in dry or arid climates. That reduction of air and moisture infiltration can then help improve roof longevity. Both materials make a great physical barrier between the interior building and the metal roof. Rhino steel building systems offers an optional professional insulation system includes a high quality vapor retarder.
