Instructions / Assembly

NOTE: You can join the ends of the insu-
lation by making square cuts on both
pieces to be joined and taping the seam
with seam tape found in your kit. Use
seam tape to clean up loose edges and
any other application where a single
sided tape will do the job.
NOTE: TRIMMING AROUND DOORS
AND WINDOWS
Insulation must be trimmed around
doors and windows. Using your utility
knife, trim the insulation even with the
edge of the J-Trim back flange and
tape it in place with seam tape. You
must leave room for the sheet metal
panels to fit into the J-Trim.

STEP 3: INSTALLING FRONT AND BACK INSULATION
Measure and cut pieces of insulation slightly longer than you need to run from the
base rail or door header to the roof frame. Install double sided tape on the front of
the roof frame and the base rail or door header and spots in-between. Press the
insulation panels to the frame, trim along the top of the roof frame and install sheet
metal panels as instructed in your building assembly instructions. On 12’ and 20’
wide buildings start with a panel of insulation centered in the end of the building. On
24’ and 30’ wide buildings start with the seam of two insulation panels centered in
the building end. Sheet metal panels are installed from the center to both sides.

STEP 4: INSTALLING INSULATION ON THE ROOF
Starting on one side of the roof at the same end of the building
that you started the side panels. Install double sided tape on top
of the side insulation as shown. You should notch out a 2” section
of the side insulation seam to get the tape to lay down properly.
Run another strip of double sided tape on the top hat channel or
roof purlin on the other side of the roof. Measure and cut insula-
tion to fit from the side insulation to the top hat channel or purlin
on the other side of the roof. Cut the insulation a little long. You
can trim later if you like. Line up the edge without the adhesive
strip with the center of the end frame tube as you did the side
panels and press the insulation in place. (Remove slack in the
insulation as much as possible.) Install additional panels as you
did the sides of the building. Install Sheet metal panels as you go
according to the building installation instructions.
On the other side of the roof, run double sided tape on the top of
the side insulation and on the top edge of the roof insulation from
the other side of the roof. Measure and cut insulation to extend
slightly over both strips of tape. Line the edge of the insulation
without an adhesive strip up with the center of the end frame tube
as you did the sides and press the insulation in place. Install
sheet metal as you go. Trim off excess insulation at the end of the
building.
