If the building is enclosed, we recommend using a double bubble foil wrap to help prevent condensation that can occur when there is a difference in temperature between the two sides of a metal panel. This foil wrap also serves to reflect heat away from the building. If the building is going to be heated or cooled, we recommend installing fiberglass insulation or foam insulation. These two options have a significant R-value and will help maintain a constant temperature in the building by impeding heat transfer. Depending on your needs, we offer various insulation options that differ in thickness. For example, vinyl-back fiberglass insulation is an excellent option for buildings that need a moderate degree of insulation.
