Why Insulate
How important is good insulation?

Finding the source of where your structure is not efficient on energy use is the first step in cutting energy costs. The following represents the average breakdown of where energy usage and its "energy waste" come from:

As you can see a large amount goes through the roof. Adding foil insulation will cut down on that 22% Attic & Duct as well as the 7% walls and the 10% infiltration. The best insulation right now is High R insulation. It is a radiant barrier consisting of a layer of aluminum foil placed in an airspace (like the attic) to block radiant heat transfer. It works better than conventional insulation in blocking the hot roof (in summer) and outer cold (in winter).

With the cost of crude oil and electricity rising, it is an important factor in controlling your monthly expenses for your steel building. Also since steel buildings have few if not zero windows, your use of foil insulation will show even greater energy savings. Don't waste the time getting conventional insulation without first considering the benefits of High R insulation.

How to determine which insulation to get. Look for the R-value - The higher the R-value, the better the insulation. High R Double Sided Foil Insulation has a consistent 14.5 R value. Compare that to fiberglass blanket insulation with half the R-Value. It has been shown that Fiberglass blanket insulation can also lose more than half it's R value in humid areas.
