Installation Guide
• Tape the seams with a Reflectix
®
Foil Tape (goal is an air-tight, snug seam seal).
• Install at least a 3/4” thermal break. If installing a standing seam roof, use clips with thermal
breaks.
• Install roofing either by screwing corrugated metal screws through the thermal break and insulation
to the purlin or install a standing seam roof.
• If an interior finish is to be installed, attach to the bottom of the purlins.
• This will create a 3/4” air space between the roofing and the insulation and an 8” air space between
the insulation and the interior finish.
2. Open Interior without Thermal Breaks and a Nominal 3/4” Drape
• Per instructions above without the thermal break.
* 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.
Review These Important Safety Guidelines Prior to Installation:
