Paragon Pacific Products - Metal Building
NIA Certified Faced Insulation® is insulation produced that meets the requirements of the quality assurance certification program set forth by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Paragon Pacific/SPI is a NIA Certified Faced Insulation® Laminator. This means we produce the metal building insulation using a method that conforms to the manufacturing practices of the NAHB quality assurance program, the requirements of the NAHB Research Center's certification program, and the requirements of the NIA Certified Faced Insulation® Standard. Carrying the NAHB Research Center certification seal for this program requires laminators to conduct daily and weekly checks to verify that their laminating machines are producing faced insulation in accordance with the product seal. Benefit: The insulation Paragon Pacific/SPI produces is certified to deliver the full R-value and thermal performance it was manufactured to provide. Our fabrication process does not take away from the thermal value of the insulation. Out of the package each roll will recover to its original thickness and provide the full R-value it is specified to deliver.

Selecting the correct facing for your insulation system will extended service life and maximize energy savings in a pre-engineered building. The Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) controls the rate of water vapor diffusion through the facing and into the insulation. The lower the WVTR, the better the vapor retarder. During changes in temperature and humidity, a difference in water vapor pressure exists between the inside and outside of a building. This vapor pressure difference is the driving force causing water vapor diffusion. Water vapor passing through the facing and into the cold side of the insulation can condense and adversely affect insulative properties. A good vapor retarder (facing) will resist this water vapor transfer caused by the vapor pressure difference. |

The Simple Saver System® by Thermal Design originated from a metal building contractor who found a way to insulate metal buildings without having to compress fiberglass over the purlins during installation. By installing between the purlins, the system uses the full cavity space available or creates additional space where necessary. Full cavity thicknesses of fiberglass may be used without being compressed or degraded during installation. Benefit: The Simple Saver typically stops more than 90% of the heat transference between the interior and exterior air and controls condensation because the purlins and girts are encapsulated and isolated from the conditioned interior air of the building.
