Warm air rises so you can imagine roofs are kind of a big deal when it comes to thermal anything.
Roof thermal blocks.
This compliments the fiberglass insulation allowing it to perform as designed as well reduces the overall purlin cavity moisture.
If installed properly thermal blocks stop condensation at the top of the purlin cavity.
Made of high density rigid polyurethane foam these construction thermal blocks extend building insulation from below ground to the roof.
Point of fact your roofing system s thermal performance is a major factor in your building s overall thermal performance.
Thermal blocks basically isolate the outer shell roof and wall panel of your metal building from the inner steel frame.
Learn more about the main things to consider when choosing a metal roof with regard to roof slope including building codes and minimum slope requirements.
Thermal blocks are comprised of a rigid foam that is specifically designed to provide a continuous insulation system when paired with fiberglass metal building insulation.
Thermal bridging in roofs and framing this post is part of a series on thermal bridging.

A thermal spacer block is placed between the metal roof sheet and the roof purlin or between the wall girt and wall sheeting and isolates the outer shell from the inner steel frame of the metal building.
This option is known to increase the insulation performance as much as 2 times in certain buildings.
These 1 foam filled thermal blocks offer a non compressed r 6 performance.
These insulation qualities reduce thermal bridging which increases the building s structural performance and improves thermal efficiency.
