When it comes to building with cold-formed steel, insulation plays a crucial role in ensuring energy efficiency. Steel framing, known for its strength and longevity, presents characteristics that are important to consider in regard to its performance. Steel conducts heat, which can result in energy inefficiencies if not properly insulated. We want to lay any concerns you might have to rest.

      We offer VRR Faced Insulation and E-Shield Insulation as a solution to these challenges in garages and houses. Cold-formed steel framing is incredibly strong and resistant to the wear and tear that wood can experience over time. However, steel can absorb and transfer heat easily, leading to fluctuations in temperature inside your home.

      This is where the right insulation materials come in. The goal is to mitigate thermal bridging (where heat transfers through the steel frame), maintain a stable internal temperature, and enhance the energy efficiency of the building.

For garages, we have VRR (Vapor Retarder Reflective) Insulation. VRR Faced Insulation is designed to offer high thermal resistance while also addressing moisture control.

VRR Faced Insulation:

1. Thermal Resistance: During winter, it prevents the warmth from escaping, and during summer, it reflects heat away, keeping your garage cooler.
2. Moisture Control: The vapor retarder layer prevents moisture from reaching the steel frame, helping to reduce the risk of rust and corrosion.
3. Easy Installation: VRR Faced Insulation is lightweight and easy to install, making it ideal for garages where quick and effective installation is essential.
4. Energy Efficiency: By creating an effective barrier against thermal bridging, it helps maintain consistent temperatures, reducing the need for extra heating or cooling. This results in long-term energy savings.

For steel-framed garages, VRR Faced Insulation is an investment that pays off in comfort, durability, and energy efficiency.

For houses, we have E-Shield Insulation. E-Shield is an energy-efficient thermal insulation that uses reflective technology to reduce heat transfer.

E-Shield Insulation:

1. Energy Efficiency: It reflects 97% radiant heat away during the summer and helps retain indoor warmth during the winter, resulting in more consistent and comfortable indoor temperatures.
2. Reduced Utility Bills: Overtime, the savings from reduced energy consumption more than offset the initial investment in insulation.
3. Moisture and Mold Protection: By controlling condensation on steel framing, it helps prevent rust, mold growth, and other potential issues caused by moisture build-up.
4. Easy to Install: Its installation process is simple and can be done with minimal disruption, ensuring a fast and efficient installation without compromising quality.

Conclusion

Insulating a steel-framed home or garage is essential to maximize energy efficiency, comfort, and durability. By using VRR Faced Insulation in garages and E-Shield in houses, homeowners can effectively combat the concerns posed by steel framing, including thermal bridging and moisture control. Both products offer innovative solutions that keep homes comfortable, energy-efficient, and protected for years to come. With the right insulation, a steel-framed home becomes a stronger, more sustainable choice for modern living.
