1. Owen Corning

Insulation Discounted is the best source of certified fiberglass insulation because – before lamination – it comes from the highest-rated company in this industry – Owen Corning. You can order R-value 8 to 30 with multiple facing options and roll sizes. To review delivered estimates, click INSULATION PRICES.  Since Insulation Discounted has already posted delivered estimates and guarantees a quoted savings, quotes are exclusively completed for those willing to pay at least the profit amount AFTER (same day) quoted savings.

2. Insulation is in Naima 202-96 compliance

This is an independent test performed by Home Innovations.  When the facing is laminated to the fiberglass it crushes the fiberglass.  The test ensures that after manufacturing the product unrolls to the specified R-value.   Some manufacturers do not want to pay for this test and say they do in-house testing.  In these cases, the product often hits the field from these manufacturers which is less than performance.  With NAIMA 202-96 fiberglass guarantee you get the R-value you ask for.

An additional standards met or exceeded:

  • ASTM C991-08, Standard Specification for Flexible Fibrous Glass Insulation for Metal Buildings; Type II.
NAIMA 202-96® (Rev. 2000) Certified Fiber Glass Metal Building Insulations are designed to be laminated and are intended for use in the walls and roofs of manufactured buildings.

3. Comcheck- Energy Compliance Certificate

Is a program put out by the department of energy.  This program models buildings in compliance software to verify government energy code performance.  The certificate will specify a percentage equal to or better than code requirements.  Our company will provide this certificate for a building with any order. COMCheck certificates are available on request for full building orders to guarantee energy code compliance

4. Fabric and Banding

Be aware there are insulation systems that are of low quality. Some sellers utilize fabric that is thin and cheap, as well as use plastic nylon strapping in place of traditional metal banding.  Most erectors will complain about this kind of banding twisting up on the screw as they try to attach the strapping.  Factory Steel Overstock is committed to offering the correct amount of banding and screws per order request.

5. WMP VR-R+ instead of just VR-R

As a standard practice, Insulation Discounted offers insulation with a stronger WMP VR-R “PLUS” facing instead of the industry-standard VR-R for no additional charge. 

6. Secure Price and Quick Delivery

Some firms will indicate that they have the option to increase the price based on insulation availability after the initial order. This means these firms can increase the price before shipping. At that point, the customer is stuck and may have to wait several weeks to get their insulation delivered if they don’t accept the price increase.  With Insulation Discounted, this can NEVER happen! The initial contract price is the ONLY price! The savings are guaranteed! 

Fiberglass insulation is delivered within a quick 2-3 weeks and the customer is called within 48 hours of delivery. 

Understanding R – Value

R-Value is based on measuring the amount of heat loss, or ability to retard the loss of heat flow. Understanding R-value with fiberglass insulation is easy: The R-value is directly related to the fiberglass thickness. The thicker the fiberglass blanket you have, the higher the R-value. Factory Steel Overstock quotes R-Value 8 to 30.

Insulation 101

Most people are familiar with fiberglass insulation.  It is what was in their attic when growing up–though there have been improvements on its facings.

Steel building insulation is blankets of woven long-strand fiberglass that are laminated on one side to a vapor-barrier facing.  Facing materials are applied to fiberglass insulation blankets to serve as a vapor retarder as well as a protected cover over the fiberglass. This vinyl-reinforced backing is far more durable than vinyl alone.

Why do I need insulation?

An insulation R-value is the measurement of a material’s ability to stop heat and cold transfer.  No matter what a metal building’s usage, insulating it will be of value.  Because of the unique nature of a steel building, it requires a vapor barrier and radiant barrier. 

  • The summer heat (sun’s rays) on a steel surface will create extreme heat temperatures inside the building.
  • In addition, the cold winter temperatures are exaggerated by the metal roof and wall sheeting making it frigid inside.  Warm temperatures coming in contact with cool metal roofs or walls create sweating (condensation). 

Options for Vinyl Vapor Barrier Facings

For most standard uses of your metal building, this is sufficiently strong and adequate for being tear resistant.  We simply wouldn’t settle for less, nor expect you to pay more than the wholesale pricing we pass on to you!
