Rhino Dispels Metal Building Insulation Myths

Denton, TX, March 03, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Many potential buyers of steel buildings believe that they are difficult to insulate from the weather. This is absolutely not true according to Bruce Brown, president of Rhino Steel Building Systems. “We have several effective methods of insulating our pre-engineered buildings, and none greater than our newest insulation package, named the Rhino Pro Value Insulation System.”

Many of the problems with insulating pre-fabricated steel buildings has to do more with errors in installation than anything else. It’s true, that the entropy (or temperature migration) of steel is far greater than wood, and if improperly installed, exposed metal purlins and girts can import extreme temperature from outside the building. The Rhino Pro Value package includes the use of insulators and the almost complete filling of the purlin and girt cavities that virtually eliminate temperature transfer. Additionally, a special liner fabric protects from condensation that can plague metal buildings not otherwise protected.

“We offer other types of insulation that are also effective and can provide helpful installation tips as well,” Brown says. One added bonus of the Rhino Pro Value System has to do with a special low maintenance vapor barrier that covers the otherwise exposed purlins and girts. If this is installed, it creates a professional “finished look” to the interior, eliminating the need for painting or covering the interior with more expensive and less effective materials.
