Metal Building Insulation Patch Repairs

When it comes to maintaining metal buildings, insulation is a key component in ensuring energy efficiency, comfort, and protection against the elements. Over time, wear and tear can compromise the integrity of the insulation, leading to drafts, moisture issues, and increased energy costs. A metal building insulation patch is a cost-effective solution to address these issues, extending the life of your building and enhancing its performance. Below we’ll show you examples of the insulation patch process.

Selecting the right materials is a key component to successfully patch insulation and to keep your metal building in top shape. Our team uses quality materials, and utilize a variety of lifts to access difficult work areas.

Closure Installation

To protect the insulation patch closures are installed on the exterior of the building. They are installed between the back lip of the gutter and the bottom of the roof panel.  We used new fasteners when we re-attached the gutter. Once installed, foam keeps the water out and protects the new insulation.
