What are the thermal insulation techniques for insulating pre-engineered buildings
To make the metal building energy efficient it is important to create a thermal barrier and air barrier. It is unavoidable to prevent the temperature stability if there will be heat transfer through the walls, roofs/lofts, ceiling, vents, etc. Thus, it is important to provide the heat insulation to the buildings. Metal building insulation provides a barrier to exterior sounds, heat, dust, and moisture hence improves the energy efficiency of the building.
There are many thermal insulation materials available in the market which offers high insulating characteristics. But when we talk about pre-engineered building insulation then there are two main insulating materials, that is:
Type of insulation services available
Fiber Insulation : Fiberglass provides an excellent insulation to the pre-engineered buildings. It provides insulation to thermal and acoustical for walls, roofs, and ceilings. Fiberglass comes in many forms like batt, loose-fill, and roll form. Fiberglass can be made from recycled glass and it offers insulation to diverse parts of the building.
Rock and mineral wool insulation :Provides high resistance to fire and is used to the insulated floor, ceiling or walls. Another fiber insulation product – Cellulose insulation is used in a loose-fill form to insulate attics, walls, and floors. Cellulose have high resistance to air leakage thus, provides better roof insulation, under deck roof insulation, etc.
Foams: Polyurethane and Polyisocyanurate have high R-value, thus are better insulating materials. Polyurethane foam is primarily used to block the air leakage and insulate efficiently. These foaming products are less polluting and harmful to the environment and offer cost-effective solutions.
