Which Insulation is Best for Your Texas Metal Building?
Choosing the best insulation depends on your building’s needs and budget.
Spray Foam: Offers excellent thermal control and air sealing. It’s highly effective but comes at a higher cost.
Fiberglass: Provides great R-Value with great aesthetics. A lot of its effectiveness is based on installation.
Solar Reflective Insulation: Reflects heat away from your building, making it ideal for hot climates. It works best with additional insulation such as fiberglass.
Ask one of our salespersons what is your intended building use and what you’re looking to accomplish, so we can recommend which is best for you.
Certain insulations are limited to the type of building. WolfSteel Building only offers these services for our Metal Buildings.
