What Does Metal Building Insulation Do?
Controls Heat Flow Metal building insulation acts as a barrier to slow down the movement of heat, keeping it inside the building in winter and outside the building in summer. By controlling the rate of heat transfer through the building, insulation reduces energy consumption, resulting in lower fuel bills and a cleaner environment. Prevents Condensation Metal building insulation with a vapor retarder facing limits the passage of water vapor and prevents it from condensing within the insulation or on the interior surfaces of the building. Controls Noise Metal building insulation greatly reduces the level of both exterior and interior noise by reducing transmission of exterior sounds to the interior of the building and absorbing reverberating sounds within the building. Increases Lighting Efficiency The laminated facings on the insulation provide a bright, attractive wall and ceiling treatment that acts as a reflector to increase lighting efficiency.
