Metal building insulation refers to the materials and techniques used to insulate structures primarily made of metal, such as warehouses, factories, agricultural buildings, and commercial facilities. Metal buildings are known for their durability and versatility, but they can also present challenges in terms of temperature regulation and energy efficiency.
Types of Metal Building Insulation
- Fiberglass: Fiberglass insulation is commonly used in metal buildings due to being lightweight and flexible. It offers good thermal performance and sound absorption properties.
- Spray Foam: Polyurethane foam adheres to metal surfaces, filling gaps and providing excellent thermal resistance and air sealing.
- Reflective: When installed with an air gap facing the metal surface, reflective insulation reflects radiant heat away from the building, reducing heat gain.
