1. Metal Roof with Product Below Purlin

• The Reflectix® 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 Reflectix® 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 Reflectix® 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 (see illustration above)
• Per instructions above except install Reflectix® Reflective/Bubble/Bubble/White Insulation after installing the purlins.
• When installing product, insure that a minimum of a 3/4” drape (middle of cavity) is present.

* Includes thermal resistance of 0.61 UP and 0.92 DOWN for interior air film.
