Insulation Bottom of Truss - Existing Metal Roof Application
Installation Instructions

- Nail 1″ x 2″ furring strips on the bottom of and perpendicular to the trusses on 22″ centers. (Note: When truss spacing is 24″ it is recommended to install the InfraStop® 24″ or 48″ product directly to the bottom cord of the truss.)
- Butt the furring strips tether and tape. Staple tape for reinforcement.”

Thermal Insulation
Open Interior – R-10* Heat Flow Down (and a Radiant Barrier) | R-3.7* Heat Flow Up
Please Note: In addition to the stated R-value, this application also provides a Radiant Barrier. As a result, a 94% + reduction of the radiant energy that ordinarily would be transmitted to the interior of the building is blocked.
*Includes thermal resistance of 1.32 UP and 4.55 DOWN for interior air film.
