Insulation Products
Rhino offers two basic metal building insulation products. Low E foam insulation pictured in photo at right) is 1/4" thick with foil back and provides an R-7 rating. It also features a highly reflective backing creating a radiant barrier for superior insulation in hot climates. Also offered is the more common fiberglass insulation for your metal Building (from 3" to 8" thick, providing for R-10 to R-30 ratings. Fiberglass insulation has a reinforced backing-eliminating the need for chicken wire support-saving you labor and money. Both products are easily installed and offer big savings in energy costs.
Insulation Value
Because insulation is not compressed in Rhino Pro-Value Systems, the near full R-value of the specified insulation is realized. It is easy to see the potential increase in energy efficiency and savings (see the chart at right). Rhino ProValue packages are available in R-19 to R-30 (walls) and R-20 to R-40 (roof systems). Completely filling the purlin and girt cavities is recommended.
Sealed Insulation
Insulation is installed around the eave strut (as shown in the illustration below) and together with standard closure strips and mastic, your metal building is well protected against harsh weather conditions.
