Why Metal Buildings Need Reflective Insulation

A radiant barrier metal roof provides heat reflection for a cool environment. Whatever is under it is safe from excessive heat damage and spoilage. Usually, commercial and industrial places have metal roofs. The entire structure is of metal, which increases heat conduction from outside to the inside. Whatever is inside the building is at severe risk of damage due to temperature fluctuations. We offer our services of reflective insulation for metal buildings. There will be no heat transfer because our aluminum foils reflect the heat waves.

Radiant barriers will allow air to pass through and reflect the heat, keeping the indoor space cool.
The solar reflectance of our aluminum foils is very high, which reduces heat conduction.
There will be no risk of high interior temperatures in extreme summer.
Even the HVAC system will face less burden.
Metal buildings are less prone to condensation and mold growth.
You can achieve more efficient energy savings.

To avail of all these benefits, simply contact us. We will provide details regarding the installation process.

Types of Reflective Solutions for Metal Buildings

We offer multiple solutions to meet the needs of our customers. Since there are various types of buildings with metal roofs, we provide a suitable solution for each one. The ultimate objective is to reflect the heat from the metal roof that it absorbs from the sun. We will install aluminum foils that will prevent heat conduction efficiently.

Radiant Foil and Reflective Insulation Rolls

We install aluminum foils that reflect radiant heat waves. The reflective function in them plays a vital role in the heat reduction process. Some people install reflective aluminum sheet metal to reflect the sunlight. We have a more cost-effective solution in the form of insulation rolls. Our double-bubble aluminum foils are available in perforated and unperforated forms with their respective advantages. We install them inside to show excellent performance.

Reflective Roof Coatings and Elastomeric Paints

This is another method, which is a cost-effective solution similar to foils. Some people go for a combination of reflective paints and aluminum foils for a lightweight and low-cost solution. Reflective coating for metal roof alone is temporary because the weather impact may wear the paint soon. That’s why it could be a supportive or temporary solution once one can choose.

Reflective Aluminum Sheet and Rigid Panels

If your place needs reflective aluminum sheets and rigid panels, we will provide a solution accordingly. They reflect the heat from outside the roof. That’s why reflective metal roofing usually works better above the metal roof to reflect the sunlight. However, some are lightweight panels that work better under the metal roof by reflecting heat waves. They work better where you need exposed installations to reflect the sunlight more than heat waves.

Hybrid Systems and Vapor Control Layers

It provides a combined solution in moist conditions. If you face the risk of vapor growth, an unperforated radiant barrier can work better. Multiple layers of unperforated aluminum foil can reflect both heat waves and moisture. Moreover, you can go with a combination of reflective barrier and foam insulation.

Benefits of Installing a Radiant Barrier in Metal Buildings

Here are the benefits that you were looking for. The primary reason people should choose radiant barriers for a metal roof is their excellent heat reflection. The radiant barrier for metal roof helps reduce the heat and moisture indoors. Warehouses, barns, storage facilities, and factories will receive a cooler environment amid extreme heat outside. We use wood between the roof rafters and aluminum foil to avoid heat conduction. What it does is allow excellent heat reflection and airflow. Then you get all the benefits below.

Lower interior temperatures in metal structures, especially those with metal roofs.
There is a significant reduction in HVAC runtime and system load.
Users experience better energy savings since the heat from outside has a minimal impact on the indoor environment.
Air flow through the space between the metal frame and foils prevents mold and condensation.
Our radiant barrier under metal roof works for both industrial and commercial spaces.
That also leads to an extension in roof life, as the airflow prevents the moisture layer from forming.
Everything under that metal roof remains cool and safe, whether it is a living thing or a commodity.

Common Questions and Misconceptions

Here are some common misconceptions about radiant barriers that we have addressed. We addressed every possible myth to clarify your concept before you proceed with the installation service.

Does a radiant barrier increase R value?

It has nothing to do with R value since it doesn’t conduct heat. It reflects the heat waves coming from the metal roof, keeping the environment cool. There is a space between the radiant barrier and the metal rafters that allows heat reflection.

Is perforated foil better for metal roofs?

Yes, it is better than unperforated because it allows moisture to escape.

Will a radiant barrier stop condensation?

Yes, it can prevent condensation if you leave some space, such as 1 or 3 inches, between it and the metal rafter. The airflow will prevent condensation. Also, use a perforated foil to avoid the risk of condensation.

Can radiant barriers be used in ventilated roofs?

They can work with ventilated roofs by allowing heat reflection and airflow. That airflow amid heat reflection will escape the vents for better results in heat resistance.

Our Metal Building Installation Process

With a dedicated team of experts, we analyze your metal roof to make informed decisions. The radiant barrier installation for metal roof depends on full inspection. Once the inspection goes well, the aluminum foil installation process becomes better. Installing wood between the foils and metal roof rafters creates a space for heat reflection and airflow. Then you can expect better support for the HVAC system in your metal-roofed warehouse or storage facility. Here is a step-by-step installation process of our radiant barrier under metal roof.

Site Inspection and Assessment

We offer site inspection and assessment. Our team examines the structure type, existing insulation, temperature, and various issues, including condensation and mold. Everything is a part of the process to provide a perfect outcome in insulation installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How much does it cost to install a radiant barrier under a metal roof?

It all depends on the structure, size, and type of metal roof of a building. Also, existing mold and condensation conditions affect the installation costs. Then the type of insulation you choose affects the charges.

How long does radiant barrier insulation last on a metal roof?

They can last over 15 years. If you keep them maintained, they can last longer.

Will a radiant barrier reduce my energy bills?

Yes, they can, because they reduce the heat conduction from the roof, which reduces the load on the HVAC system. As a result, the air conditioning system doesn’t require extra energy to maintain a cool temperature.

Can a radiant barrier be installed on an existing metal building?

Yes, it is possible. Our team can install on an existing metal building.

Do I need ventilation if I install a radiant barrier?

Since radiant barriers require air space for heat reflection and airflow, ventilation is necessary.

What is the difference between reflective foil and reflective coating?

Reflective foil is an aluminum foil that reflects heat and allows airflow to reduce temperature. Also, they work inside the building to reflect the heat coming from the building’s walls, roof, or floor. On the other hand, a reflective coating is simply a paint coat with a white or silver color that reflects sunlight. It works outside the building to reflect sunlight and heat.
