Features of The Best Metal Warehouse Insulation

Stop Condensation - It can seem like a tropical rain forest inside an unprotected metal warehouse. It's worse on those days where there is a greater contrast between temperatures at night vs. day. The morning sun hitting the cool metal sheeting will create a drip. When warm air comes in contact with the cool metal sheet, condensation occurs. A temperature difference between the outside and inside of your building creates condensation - Similar to what happens when you have a cold can of beer outside on a hot day.

Prevent Radiant Heat Transfer -Mid-summer sun rays hitting the metal sheeting radiates downward (inside). It can make it unbearably hot and humid inside. The metal skin magnifies the heat of the summer and frigid temperatures of the winter. Metal is a very good conductor of heat and cold. In hot weather, metal framing and sheeting rapidly radiate the sun's heat into a building.

Keep Cold Out -Winter temperatures turn metal sheeting cold. The cold sheeting chills the inside of your building making it like an ice box - colder inside the building than out.

Take a look at the white vinyl facing the next time you're in a metal warehouse - It will be either sagging, or sagging and flaking. This is due to the added weight of water. Behind the white vinyl is a wet, mold filled blanket that will eventually cause the white vinyl to crack and fall off. At some point, when you're exposed to the toxic fibers, you'll be forced to remove the insulation - Hopefully before it does too much damage to the metal framing. Avoid an insulation that collects moisture, attracts mold, cracks and needs to be replaced. If you insist on using fiberglass, use it in conjunction with Prodex Total, so the Prodex can keep the moisture out of the fiberglass.

Fiberglass insulation is composed of woven fiber stands. The fiber strands contain hundreds of small air pockets. The air pockets provide the insulation. Once exposed to moisture, the air pockets fill up with water (rather than air) and the insulation loses the ability to provide r-value.

When used in conjunction with Prodex Total, fiberglass insulation can be effective in a metal building.

Prodex Total will keep moisture out of the fiberglass insulation. Prodex allows the fiber air pockets to remain dry. It's important that fiber air pockets remain dry. Once wet, fiberglass insulation loses r-value.

If fiberglass is used in a warehouse without Prodex Total, you'll have moisture issues (typically hidden behind facing), loss of r-value (consequence of the moisture), and heat gain.

Condensation Damages Contents In A Warehouse

Protect your valuable contents from damaged caused by moisture.

Using Prodex Total as your warehouse insulation will eliminate the moisture (condensation) from forming on the metal sheeting. It does it by making the temperature of the metal sheeting on the building approximately the same on the inside as the outside. When the heat or cold from outside comes through the metal skin it hits the outside reflective facing of Prodex and is reflected back upwards through the underside of the metal sheeting. This process keeps the metal sheeting temperature consistent on both sides. In addition, the inside reflective layer of Prodex metal warehouse insulation keeps the heat (heater) or cold (air-conditioning) inside the warehouse from getting to the metal skin. This also helps in preventing condensation.

Stops Air Transfer

Air flow carries moisture that impacts the temperature and integrity of the warehouse building. Air-flow affects a building's behavior in fire (spread of toxic smoke and gasses). Air barriers also separate the warehouse from conditioned office spaces. In this case an air barrier would also serve as a "gas barrier" an obvious safety feature. Prodex Total is an air barrier.
