Olympia Steel Buildings Basic Insulation System (Standard Vinyl Backed)
The Olympia Steel Buildings
Basic Insulation System (standard vinyl backed) for pre-engineered
steel buildings uses 6" of insulation on the roof and sides for an
energy efficiency rating of R19. A vapor barrier is bonded to the
fiberglass.
The Olympia Steel Buildings insulation vapor barrier provides an attractive interior finish to pre-engineered steel buildings
while preventing the ruinous effects of moisture. When installed on the
roof, the insulation is placed with the vapor barrier on the purlins
so the vapor barrier faces the inside of the metal building
prohibiting moisture from the roof, as in the case of rain or snow,
from penetrating the insulation. When installing the insulation on the
sides of metal buildings,
the vapor barrier is placed on the girts, facing the inside of the
building, to prevent moisture from penetrating the insulation from the
sides of the building and ruining the insulation.
