Metal Building Construction
Roof
The assembly used to test the thermal resistance of TempShield™
Insulation as it would be installed in new metal building
construction consisted of a corrugated metal exterior, 1/2"
extruded polystyrene thermal breaks 5' on center, TempShield™
Insulation, and 8" Z purlins commonly used in metal
buildings.
