Installation Instructions:
Metal and Steel Building - New Roof - Installation Instruction
1. Open Interior with 3/4" Thermal Breaks
- After the red metal is erected, install the Tempshield™ Reflective/Bubble/Bubble/Reflective product over the purlins by using 1/2” self-taping metal screws and screwing the product to the purlins.
- Tape the seams with a Tempshield™ Foil Tape (goal is an air-tight, snug seam seal).
- Install at least a 3/4” thermal break. If installing a standing seam roof, use clips with thermal breaks.
- Install roofing either by screwing corrugated metal screws through the thermal break and insulation to the purlin or install a standing seam roof.
- If an interior finish is to be installed, attach to the bottom of the purlins.
- This will create a 3/4” air space between the roofing and the insulation and an 8” air space between the insulation and the interior finish.
2. Open Interior with 3/4" Thermal Breaks and a Nominal 3/4" Drape
- Per instructions above without the thermal break.
Important: Review These Important Safety Guidelines Prior to Installation.
