<strong>ERECTION</strong> <strong>AND</strong> <strong>SAFETY</strong> <strong>MANUAL</strong><br />
There are many types of insulation installed in pre-engineered steel buildings. However, fi berglass blanket<br />
insulation is the most common type used, and these instructions pertain to this type only. One side of the<br />
blanket insulation should have a vapor barrier that must face the inside of the building regardless of whether<br />
the insulation is for heating or cooling.<br />

WALL INSULATION INSTALLATION<br />
Cut the insulation to length allowing an additional 6” or more to facilitate handling. The wall panel can be<br />
used as a guide.<br />
NOTE:<br />
The insulation must compress between the girt and the wall during installation. Insulation too thick or dense<br />
to compress adequately will induce waviness or oil canning in certain types of wall panels.<br />
