Post Frame Retrofit

Inspect the roof area for clutter in buildings where there is no ceiling.
Measure the distance between the trusses. Many times, the distance will be 4' or less. In some geographic areas, due to snow load, the distance will be as close as 2'.
Cut pieces of TempShield™ insulation 6" longer than the distance between the ridge pole and the birds mouth.
Staple the insulation to the bottom of the purlins with 5/16" staples, 3" to 4" apart. Turn the edges down and staple to the side of the top cord of the trusses.
Staple the top of the insulation to the ridge pole and the bottom to the top plate at the wall.
Tape all butt seams with foil tape. Make sure the tape is applied so that a proper bond occurs.

Inspect the area above and directly below the bottom of the truss for clutter. Pay special attention to water lines above the truss. Water will freeze if left exposed above the insulation.
Install 1" x 2" furring strips across the bottom cord of the trusses on 22" centers by nailing to the truss.
Staple 48" Staple Tab insulation to the furring strips, using 5/16" staples 3" to 4" apart.
Turn the tabs down and run a bead of silicone caulk; press tabs together thereby creating a strong seal.*
Tape all butt seams with foil tape. Make sure tape is applied so that a proper bond occurs. The Staple Tab and furring strip (22' on center) method for installation was designed for the bottom of the trusses. The furring strips run perpendicular to the trusses to compensate for any truss which may be unevenly spaced.

TempShield™ can be installed either vertically or horizontally.

To install TempShield™ horizontally, staple the Standard Edge insulation to the girts using 5/16" staples.
To install TempShield™ vertically, nail furring strips on 22" centers and staple TempShield™ 48" Staple Tab Insulation to the furring strips using 5/16" staples, 3" to 4" apart.
Fold the tabs out and press them up again one side of the TempShield™ insulation. Apply a 3" or 4" aluminum tape continuously over the tabs, sealing and securing the folded tabs to the insulation, making sure to completely cover the perforations in the tabs. This should ensure that the insulation is air-tight, eliminating air infiltration which otherwise may cause condensation.
