Metal Building Insulation 202-96

BASIC USE
Fiber Glass Metal Building Insulation 202-96 is a flexible blanket insulation furnished in unfaced rolls. Its primary use is in exterior walls and standing seam roofing systems of pre-engineered metal buildings. It is intended to be laminated with an appropriate vapor retarder facing suited to the specific job application. In addition it can be used as an unfaced layer of insulation.

BENEFITS
Metal Building Insulation reduces transmission of exterior sound to the interior of the building and absorbs reverberating sounds within the building.

The vapor retarder on Metal Building Insulation 202-96 should be installed towards the conditioned spaces in the building. The insulation is normally applied over or between the structural members of the building and held in place by the covering sheets or insulation support system. When using high R-value systems, it is recommended that the cavity between the exterior metal sheet and the faced fiber glass insulation should be completely filled.
