Please Note:
In addition to the stated R-value, this application also provides a
Radiant Barrier. As a result, a 96% reduction of the radiant energy
that ordinarily would be transmitted to the interior of the building is
blocked.

Installation Instructions: (There are 2 options)Download Post Frame - Roof - New Installation Instructions.pdf
1. Metal Roof with Product below Purlin (first illustration)
• After the trusses are set, run two purlins to make sure the trusses stay true.
• Attach the Reflectix® Reflective/Bubble/Bubble/Reflective, Staple Tab 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 the 3/4” staple tabs overlapping 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 (second illustration)
• Per instructions above except install Reflectix® 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 1.32 UP and 4.55 DOWN for interior air film.Calculation Disclaimer: All values are calculated based on the “ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals” heat flow up and down.
