Post Frame Construction
Roof
The thermal values for roof applications in post frame
construction were derived by testing an assembly consisting of
a corrugated metal exterior, 2" x 4" purlins, TempShield™
Insulation, a 2" x 6" to represent the top cord of a truss,
and 1/2" wafer board. The thermal values are for both
exposed insulation and applications where the insulation is
covered for fire codes.

Walls
The thermal values for TempShield™ installed in the walls of post frame buildings are based on
testing of an assembly consisting of corrugated metal
exterior, 2" x 4" girts, TempShield™ Insulation, a 4" x 6" to represent the support beam, and
1/2" wafer board as an interior wall covering.
