Post Frame New Construction

Roof Installation

1. After trusses are set, run two purlins to make sure the trusses are not pulled out of line.
2. Attach TempShield™ 48" Staple Tab Insulation to the first truss with at least 5/16" staples. Temporarily nail a 2"x 4" block to the truss to prevent foil from pulling away.
3. Roll out the TempShield™ across the trusses and pull the insulation tight.
4. Install purlins over insulation. Nail or screw to trusses through insulation.
5. Pull tabs up and run a bead of silicone between them, press together. When the silicone cures, there will be a permanent seam.*
6. Install the metal roof to purlins.
   *Make sure that the silicone caulk is applied in a continuous bead with no breaks. Gaps will cause air infiltration which may cause condensation.

Wall Installation

1. After main supports are installed, staple TempShield™ 48" Staple Tab Insulation horizontally to the support beams.
2. Fold tabs out and apply a bead of pure silicone caulk in the seam and press the tabs together.*
3. Install the 2"x 4" girts and the exterior corrugated metal.
4. From inside the building, staple insulation to the girts.
5. If an interior covering is called for, install either metal or wood sheets to the inside of the support beams. This will provide a 1-1/2" nominal airspace between the exterior metal and the insulation and a 5-1/4" nominal airspace between the insulation and the interior wall material.
   *Make sure that the silicone caulk is applied in a continuous bead with no breaks. Gaps will cause air infiltration which may cause condensation.
