Fiberglass rolls are compressed between the interior and exterior\n     sheeting. The additional vapor barrier is faced inward, providing a clean\n     finished look. A single layer application is able to achieve R-Values up\n     to R-19.<\/li><li><strong>Double Layer High R-Value System<\/strong> \u2013 For commercial metal buildings\n     requiring insulation R-Values above R-19, a double layer system is often\n     recommended. Faced fiberglass rolls are installed between the purlins and\n     \/ or girts, filling the cavity. They are held up with steel banding that\n     is screwed to the underside of the horizontal beam. Double layer systems\n     can achieve R-Values up to R-40.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Thermal Blocks<\/strong> &#8211; Thermal blocks are easy to install and\n     help meet energy codes. Typically, 1&#8243; thick and installed directly,\n     they provide additional R-Value to the fiberglass insulation system in\n     either single-layer or double-layer configurations.<\/li><li><strong>Foam Insulated Panels<\/strong> \u2013 Commonly consisting of three layers\n     (exterior metal skin, foam core, interior metal liner), foam insulated\n     panels offer commercial metal buildings high R-values, excellent thermal\n     performance, moisture control, and a clean finished look on the interior\n     and exterior of the building.<\/li><li><strong>Fiberglass Insulation Rolls<\/strong> &#8211; In addition to various levels of\n     thickness, there are also several options for the facing vapor barrier\n     when using fiberglass insulation rolls.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Insulation for Commercial Buildings \u2013 R-Value<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An insulation R-value is the measurement of a\nmaterial\u2019s ability to stop heat and cold transfer. Specifically, <strong>R<\/strong>&#8211;<strong>value<\/strong>&nbsp;is\na measure of <strong><em>resistance<\/em><\/strong> to heat flow through a given\nthickness of material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what a commercial metal building\nusage, insulating it will be of value to the inhabitants \u2013 both workers and\nproduct. The unique nature of commercial steel buildings require them to have\nboth a vapor barrier and radiant barrier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Summer heat (both direct sun\u2019s ray and\n     indirect thermal heat) on a steel surface will create extreme heat\n     temperatures inside the building.<\/li><li>Winter cold temperatures are exaggerated\n     by the metal roof and wall sheeting making it quite cold inside.&nbsp; <\/li><li>Water \/ Vapor &#8211; During transition months,\n     warm temperatures coming in contact with cool metal roof or walls will create\n     condensation (commonly called sweat).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tri-City Distribution \u2013 Our Mission<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TCD is to be reliable, knowledgeable and\nhonest in helping our customers perform quality work.
