Metal Buildings New Construction
Roof Installation
- 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.
- Fold the tabs together and apply aluminum tape between
the tabs, press together to create a tight seal.
- Install at least a 1/2" thermal break. If installing a
standing seam roof, use clips with thermal breaks.
- Install roofing either by screwing corrugated metal
through the thermal break and insulation to the purlin or
install a standing roof seam.
- 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
- Install TempShield™ Staple Tab Insulation vertically,
using 1/2" tek screws to secure the insulation to the
exterior of the C or Z purlins.
- Fold the tabs together and apply aluminum tape between
the tabs, press together to create a tight seal.
- Install a 1/2" thermal break and attach corrugated metal
to exterior finish.
- 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.
