Fibreglass Blanket Insulation Options For Metal Buildings

Fibreglass blanket insulation is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a blanket of insulation made from thin pieces of glass filament bound together after being passed through high-pressure jets while molten. There are various thicknesses available, and you can easily cut blankets to fit a specific space.

This insulation works by slowing down heat transfer in and out of the building. The insulation traps a layer of air next to the source of heat whether it be the interior of a prefab garage in the winter or the exterior of the building in the summer to prevent the transfer of heat through the exterior layer. Its ability to slow heat transfer is measured in Radiant-Value, and various factors can affect Radiant-Value including composition and thickness.
