Roof Installation / Bottom of Purlins:

Before installing TempShield™, inspect the roof area for clutter—water sprinkler systems, conduit and lights. Sprinkler systems are especially important. All water pipes must be below the insulation to prevent the possibility of freezing in the winter. In many instances, the TempShield™ must be installed up near the roof deck.

• Install 1" x 2" furring strips on the bottom of and perpendicular to the Z purlins on 22" centers. Use 1-1/4" self-taping sheet metal screws to secure the furring strips to the Z purlins.
• Butt furring strips together and tape. Staple tape for reinforcement.
• Use 72" wide TempShield™ Staple Tab Insulation and staple with tabs bent down.
• There is no need to cut the TempShield™ insulation to an exact size before installing, since the insulation is below the Z purlins.
• Use a pure silicone caulk to run a bead of caulk down the tabs; press together. This will create a proper seal.*

*Make sure that the silicone caulk is applied in a continuous bead with no breaks. Gaps will cause air infiltration which may cause condensation.

Wall Installation:

The same pre-installation inspection must be made to insure a safe working environment.

• Install furring strips to the Z purlins with 1 1/4" self-drilling screws on 22" centers.
• Staple TempShield™ insulation to the furring strips with 5/16" staples every 3" to 4".
• Fold the tabs out and press them up again one side of the TempShield™ insulation. Apply a 3" or 4" aluminum tape continuously over the tabs, sealing and securing the folded tabs to the insulation, making sure to completely cover the perforations in the tabs. This should ensure that the insulation is air-tight, eliminating air infiltration which otherwise may cause condensation.
