Installation Instructions: Download Metal Building - Roof - Retrofit Installation Instructions.pdf
• The Reflectix® 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 Reflectix® Reflective/Bubble/Bubble/White
Insulation to prevent the possibility of freezing in the winter. In
many instances the Reflectix® product must be installed up near the
roof deck. • Install 1”x 2” furring strips on the bottom of and
perpendicular to the Z purlins on 22” centers. Utilize 1 1/4”
self-taping sheet metal screws to secure the furring strips to the Z
purlins. • Butt the furring strips together and tape. Staple tape for reinforcement. • Staple the edges of the Reflectix® Reflective/Bubble/Bubble/White product to the furring strips with a 3/4” overlap at the seams. • Tape the seams with a Reflectix® Foil Tape (goal is an air-tight, snug seam seal). • Staple product at approximately 4” intervals down the middle of the sheet into the furring strip above.
* Includes thermal resistance of 0.61 UP and 0.92 DOWN for interior air film.
Calculation Disclaimer: All values are calculated based on the “ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals” heat flow up and down. Important:
