Installation Instructions:
Post Frame - New Roof Above and Below Purlin - Installation Instruction

1. Metal Roof with Product below Purlin (first illustration)

• The Tempshield™ Insulation is installed with the “white side” towards the interior of the building.
• Pre-installation inspection - Check the roof area for clutter, water sprinklers, conduit and lights. Sprinkler systems are especially important. All water pipes must be below the Tempshield™ Reflective/Bubble/Bubble/White Insulation to prevent the possibility of freezing in the winter.
• 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 Tempshield™ Reflective/Bubble/Bubble/White 48” product directly to the bottom cord of the truss.)
• Butt the furring strips together and tape. Staple tape for reinforcement.
• Staple the edges of the Tempshield™ to the furring strip with 5/16" staples. Run subsequent courses of the product with a 3/4” overlap at the seams.
• Tape the seams with a Tempshield™ Foil Tape (goal is an air-tight, snug seam seal).
• Tape any butt seams with Tempshield™ Foil Tape, insure taped seam has a good full continuous bond.
• Staple product at approximately 4” intervals down the middle of the sheet into the furring strip above.

2. Metal Roof with Product above Purlin (second illustration)

• Per instructions above except install Tempshield™ after installing the purlins.
• When installing product, insure that a minimum of a 3/4” drape (middle of cavity) is present.

Important: Review These Important Safety Guidelines Prior to Installation.
