Metal Building Insulation

Products and Services

Description: Bay Insulation's faced MBI fiberglass is a resilient, flexible fiberglass blanket laminated to a high quality vapor retarder facing. It is the most common product used for insulating pre-engineered metal buildings.
Faced fiberglass can be installed as a single layer, or combined with unfaced MBI fiberglass and various support hardware to create a "High R-Value System."

NAIMA: NAIMA 202-96® fiberglass metal building insulations are blanket insulations engineered specifically for metal building construction. These insulations are certified by NAHB to meet the 202-96 Standard for Flexible Fiberglass used in Metal Buildings and are "over engineered" to withstand the rigors of facing, lamination and handling that occurs during installation. Bay uses NAIMA 202-96 fiberglass when laminating R-10, R-11,R-13, R-16 and R-19.
NIA: The NIA standard provides a basis for quality control procedures for laminators and for certifying post-laminated R-Value. For a list of Bay Insulation plants that have met the NIA (National Insulation Association) standard for "Certified Faced Insulation" click on locations.

Custom Lamination and Packaging: Every order is custom laminated to fit your building dimensions and criteria. Each roll is individually tagged to identify its intended location in the building roof, sidewalls, and endwalls.

Tab Options: Facing tabs are provided for sealing side joints between adjoining rolls of faced fiberglass. Bay offers several options:

Tab Method	Description
Double 3" Staple Tabs	Facing tabs from 2 adjoining rolls are pulled together between fiberglass joint and stapled with a long-nosed staple pliers.
Single 6" No-Staple Tab	First roll of insulation is installed with 6" tab as leading edge. Next roll is nested over tab from first roll.
Single 6" "Reinforced" No-Staple Tab	Mylar reinforcement is added at 6" tab to provide rigidity.
Single 6" "Self-Adhering" No-Staple Tab	An adhesive strip with removable backer is added at 6" tab for adhering tab to adjoining roll.
Double 12" or 15" Tabs	For use with double fiberglass layer "High R-Value" systems. Tabs from adjoining purlin spaces are lapped together over purlin.

Facings: Faced MBI Fiberglass is available with a variety of facing finishes. Vapor Retarder facings reduce the flow of interior moisture to the fiberglass and metal siding, protect the fiberglass, and provide an attractive interior finish for the building.
