In Reply to: OT - Metal Roof Insulation posted by Bill VA on December 26, 2015 at 03:43:10:

Here in Minnesota we use a product call peak proof it is a white plastic and paper product with fiber glass insulation glued on the top side with the fiber glass insulation having a r valve of 6 you can get a heavier r value but it is harder to work with. It comes in different widths of 3' and 4' the most common so the fiber glass insulation is 3 or 4 feet and the there is an extra 3 inch tab of the plastic/paper product that has double face tape on it.
This is how you use it: It goes on top of your purlins the same way your steel will lay on your purlins it goes on with the plastic paper side down and the exposed fiber glass insulation facing upward you start with a 4 foot wide piece with a 3 inch wide tab, you lay it out and pull it somewhat tight and put your piece of steel over it and screw it down then you remove the cover paper on the double face tape and add a 3 foot wide piece of peak proof so that the insulation is side by side and the 3 inch is on the other side for next time
It is called peak proof because the birds do not peak through the plastic/paper surface, This is used on all roofs and even side wall in almost all livestock sheds in Minnesota it cost about .55 per square foot for R-6 insulation I have used this a few times and it is very nice to work with and my brother also has in his free stall barn and parlor, here in MN we have temps as low as -30 degrees and it will keep the manure from freezing to the manure alleys also
