Single or Double Bubble Metal Building Insulation
The Best Investment for Your Pocket!
Stops Condensation
Unprotected metal buildings often suffer from condensation, creating a humid, rainforest-like environment, especially when there are significant temperature differences between day and night. Benner Reflective Insulation effectively protects your valuable contents from moisture damage.
This solution is ideal for non-conditioned buildings such as barns, airplane hangars, garages, storage units, and many warehouses. Benner Reflective Insulation prevents moisture from forming on metal surfaces by creating a warmer interior shield, keeping warm, moist air away from the cooler metal exterior.
Prevents Heat Transfer In and Out
During summer, metal buildings can become unbearably hot as the sun’s rays hit the metal surfaces and radiate heat inward. Conversely, in winter, the metal sheeting becomes cold, creating an icebox effect that makes the interior colder than the outside and adds to the condensation problem.
Benner Reflective Insulation maintains its R-value regardless of humidity, unlike fiberglass insulation which loses efficiency when damp. This ensures consistent thermal protection, keeping buildings warmer in winter and cooler in summer, while also preventing condensation that can damage metal components.
Stops Air Transfer
Airflow can carry moisture that impacts the temperature and structural integrity of buildings. Benner Reflective Insulation acts as an air barrier, preventing unwanted air and moisture transfer. This feature also enhances the safety of the building by inhibiting the spread of smoke and gases in case of a fire.
Deadens Sound
Metal buildings can amplify the sound of rain and hail, but Benner Reflective Insulation provides excellent sound deadening, creating a quieter interior environment.
Does Not Support Pests
Unlike fiberglass insulation, Benner Reflective Insulation does not support the nesting of rodents, bugs, or birds. These pests cannot digest the reflective foil, making it an inhospitable environment for them.
Easy Installation
Benner Reflective Insulation is easier and less expensive to install than bulky fiberglass rolls. It can be installed before or after applying your metal sheeting, making it a versatile solution for both new constructions and retrofits.
Vapor Barrier
Benner Reflective Insulation serves as an effective vapor barrier, preventing moisture from passing through walls or roofs. This feature helps maintain the structural integrity of your building and extends its lifespan.
Mold and Mildew Resistance
Benner Reflective Insulation does not promote the growth of mold or mildew, ensuring a healthier environment inside your building. It resists fungi such as Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus avus, Aspergillus versicolor, Penicillium funiculosum, and Chaetomium globosum.
Choosing the Right Insulation for Your Climate
For colder climates, double bubble insulation offers additional protection against condensation. In warmer environments, single bubble insulation is typically sufficient due to less extreme temperature differences between the interior and exterior of the building.
Difference Between Single and Double Reflective Insulation
Single-sided reflective insulation has one reflective surface, while double-sided has two. Double-sided reflective insulation can reflect radiant heat from both sides, providing superior thermal performance.
Is Double Bubble Insulation Worth It for Metal Buildings?
Double bubble insulation helps maintain warmth during winter and reduces cooling costs in summer. It also prevents condensation, protecting sensitive metal components like fasteners and framing.
Benner Reflective Insulation offers a comprehensive solution for metal building insulation needs, combining moisture control, thermal efficiency, sound deadening, and pest resistance in an easy-to-install product.
