Arctic Shield Insulation Values Specs for Post Frame Construction
Arctic Shield Insulation Values
Specs for Post Frame Construction
Roof
The thermal values for roof applications in post frame construction were derived by testing an assembly consisting of a corrugated metal exterior, 2" x 4" purlins, Arctic Shield Insulation, a 2" x 6" to represent the top cord of a truss, and 1/2" wafer board. The thermal values are for both exposed insulation and applications where the insulation is covered for fire codes.

Walls
The thermal values for Arctic Shield installed in the walls of post frame buildings are based on testing of an assembly consisting of corrugated metal exterior, 2" x 4" girts, Arctic Shield Insulation, a 4" x 6" to represent the support beam, and 1/2" wafer board as an interior wall covering.
