Roof Installation

1. After the red iron is erected, install TempShield™ Staple Tab Insulation over the purlins by using 1/2" tek screws and screwing the metalized film to the purlins.
2. Fold the tabs together and apply aluminum tape between the tabs, press together to create a tight seal.
3. Install at least a 1/2" thermal break. If installing a standing seam roof, use clips with thermal breaks.
4. Install roofing either by screwing corrugated metal through the thermal break and insulation to the purlin or install a standing roof seam.
5. If an interior finish is to be installed, attach to the bottom of the purlins. This will create a 1/2" airspace between the roofing and the insulation and an 8" airspace between the insulation and the interior finish.

Wall Installation

1. Install TempShield™ Staple Tab Insulation vertically, using 1/2" tek screws to secure the insulation to the exterior of the C or Z purlins.
2. Fold the tabs together and apply aluminum tape between the tabs, press together to create a tight seal.
3. Install a 1/2" thermal break and attach corrugated metal to exterior finish.
4. If an interior finish is to be applied, install the interior face of the girts. This will create a 1/2" airspace between the exterior finish and the insulation and an 8" air space between the insulation and the interior finish.
