Thermalguard® Insulation System

The Thermalguard® Insulation System incorporates all the benefits of liner panel while providing the advantages of superior thermal efficiency, condensation control and noise reduction.

Key Features:

• The system comprises a steel liner complete with sealant at all joints and laps to act as a vapour retarder.
• The insulation cavity can be supplied to accommodate up to 12” (300mm) of insulation.
• The roof cavity is created using thermal hat clips typically spaced at 4’ (1220mm) O.C. that support a 2” (51mm) hat bar.
• Thermal hat clips are available in heights from 2” (51mm) to 10” (250mm) to create varying cavity depths.
• This liner gives the interior an attractive finish and is insulated from the exterior.
• The system metal liner can be combined with a range of exterior panel colours and profiles to complete the look of the building.
• On the roof the SSR24, standing seam panels are installed to provide a weather resistant system without the use of fasteners penetrating the drainage plane.

Performance Advantages:

• Thermalguard® provides a cavity where insulation in multiple layers, can be added in varying thickness through R40 (RSI 7.0). The insulation is uncompressed and provides superior insulating capability. Conventional insulation systems compress the insulation at the purlin and reduce the effective R value of the system.
• The thermal clip and hat bar system provides an effective thermal break reducing the transmission of heat through the thermal system. Varying heights can be economically provided to allow insulation up to R40(RSI 7.0)
• The liner panel provides superior vapour control to protect the insulation. The steel liner is easily cleaned and resistant to abuse. The steel liner is not subject to mechanical puncturing that plastic vapour barriers can suffer from. It also serves as an attractive finish on the interior of the building. The liner can act as a diaphragm to reduce bracing requirements for purlins and girts.
• The liner is installed with self-drilling screws and offers a rapidly built enclosure to protect the interior against weather. Once the liner panel is installed on a roof it can be used as a work surface which allows easy installation of the remaining thermal system components.
• The complete system will reduce noise transmission through the assembly.

APPEARANCE:

The system liner provides a clean attractive finished appearance to the interior of the building. Available in unpainted or pre-painted steel, the panel is easily cleaned and resists wear.
