Installation Instructions:
Post Frame - New White 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.
After the trusses are set, run two purlins to make sure the trusses stay true.
Attach the Tempshield™ Reflective/Bubble/Bubble/White product to the first truss with at least 5/16” staples. Temporarily nail a 2”x 4” block over the end of the product to prevent it from pulling away.
Roll out the product across the top of the trusses, pull tight and staple.
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).
Install purlins over the insulation. Nail or screw to the trusses through the product.
Install the metal roof to the purlins.

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.
