Metal Building Insulation Retrofit To Instantly Cool Down Building - BlueTex™ Insulation (2020)

how do you know if you need a radiant barrier inside your metal building it's really simple all you got to do is feel you put your hand about a half inch away from that metal if you feel heat coming off the metal you need a radiant barrier now this is the foil white product it's foil on one side and white on the other when you install that with about a half inch air space between the foil and the metal now you can't feel any of that radiant heat coming off the metal skin now let's take a look at the thermal imaging camera and i'll show you exactly the difference all right now you can see from the thermal imaging camera it's about 125 or 130 on the metal and it's about 95 to 100 with the foil white so that's a huge difference once again probably 120 125 on the metal side and under 100 degrees on the foil wide side now watch this i can put my hand on here and it's hot but my hand is actually cooler than the metal and it's going to cool it off here in just a second you'll see a hand print because that heat now is actually being absorbed into my hand heat always goes from hot to cold and even though my hand is 100 degrees or 98 degrees being 125 130 degrees that heat comes off and now you've got a hand print where my relatively cool hand was so let's do a full walk around showing the exact temperatures using the thermal imaging camera this is the internal of the foil white product about 97 98 degrees the internal temperature of this metal is about 126 127 degrees now let's walk to the exterior and the sun is facing this wall you can see the exterior surface without the radiant barrier behind it is about 130 degrees 131 and where the radiant barrier foil is behind it it gets up to about 150 degrees so that heat is actually being reflected back to the outside or the metal is getting hotter this metal is actually cooler because that heat is both radiating inward and outward causing it to cool off whereas this area basically all the heat is being reflected back and so that metal will go up a little bit but the internal temperature will be cooler because less heat is getting into the building so if you instantly want to cool off your metal building take a look at the foil foil product or the foil white product at bluetecsinsolation.com now these are the products without the foam insulation the foam insulation is more for colder climates where you're trying to control moisture or condensation but all you have to do is get the foil up between you and that hot metal it's a cumulative effect you don't have to cover every square inch but the more coverage the better any other questions give us a call or visit the website bluetechsinsulation.com you
