After trusses are set, run two purlins to make sure the
trusses are not pulled out of line.
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.
Roll out the TempShield™ across the trusses and pull the insulation tight.
Install purlins over insulation. Nail or screw to
trusses through insulation.
Pull tabs up and run a bead of silicone between them,
press together. When the silicone cures, there will be a
permanent seam.*
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
After main supports are installed, staple TempShield™ 48" Staple Tab Insulation horizontally to the support
beams.
Fold tabs out and apply a bead of pure silicone caulk in
the seam and press the tabs together.*
Install the 2"x 4" girts and the exterior corrugated
metal.
From inside the building, staple insulation to the
girts.
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.
Tabbing Insulation
Foil insulation installed with a finishing ceiling
Shown
above is TempShield™ Insulation positioned beside the exterior wall.
Interior walls may then be finished or covered with
other building materials with no decline in
performance. This application is appropriate in warm
and hot weather climates.
Shown
above is TempShield™ Insulation in a side wall application positioned to
the interior. This application is correct in areas
experiencing colder climates.
