- bluetexinsulat... How to install metal building insulation in existing steel building to stope condensation or sweating. In this video we show the basics of installing 62" Wide BlueTex Insulation up/down on metal building with 60" wide framing.
This is a perfect retrofit application that is EASY TO INSTALL. The foil side will reflect 97% of radiant heat. This is basically like putting the building in the "shade" from the heat. And, the super durable, easy to clean interior vapor barrier will create a new internal surface that will reduce/eliminate condensation or sweating inside the building. Simply attach with self-drilling screws/washers and seal the seams with BlueTex 3" white tape. Your building will be cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter and quieter all year round. BlueTex is also available in 50" wide product too.

Do you have questions about installing www.BlueTexInsulation.com ? Ask them here!
Is there a possibility of condensation inside the void between the roof/walls and the BlueTex?
Generally, the space between the www.BlueTexInsulation.com and the metal is "ventilated" space. So, it's basically "outside" just like grass, leaves etc. and has the POTENTIAL to have some condensation when the relative humidity is VERY high. However, usually not since the air coming into the cavity is "cold" relative to the warm-moist air below the BlueTex inside the building. IF it does get a little wet. No big deal. As soon as the sun comes up, it will dry it out.
Looks like a great product. Could you use 1 inch or 1 1/2 inch rigid foam board between the metal frame directly behind this and leave an air gap towards the outside to further insulate?
You could, but to get maximum benefit you want the foil to be the FIRST thing the heat encounters after it leaves the hot metal. This is the "shade" part. Then, you would have the foam part for conductive heat. Are you heating/cooling the building often? We have a lot of solutions at www.BlueTexInsulation.com but we need to know what your goal is in order to recommend a product and/or process.
@BlueTex Insulation that makes sense. Maybe heat in the winter. When I get it built I'll get more info

Been watching your other videos. When I erect the frame, before I add the hat channel on the truss. Can I run the 62 inch over the frame and them add the hat channel. This will give a clean look and probably easier to install. Thai will leave about an inch and a half air gap also.
I'm fixing' to pull the trigger on insulation and was originally going to go rigid 1" with foil backing. Expensive as hell. Then I saw the Prodex marketing. Then I saw yawls. You seem to have the most cost-effective solution but Prodex R values...if they can be believed, seem amazing. Anything you can add please?
You're a smart guy. NOTHING a 1/4" has those kind of r-values in real applications. Did you see this page all about R-Value scams? bluetexinsulation.com/pages/r-value-of-bluetex-insulation
Several questions:
1) I've seen videos installing this or similar products, using 1x boards mounted to each metal stud so that the foil never directly touches the stud. Is this more effective than just mounting directly to the steel?
2) Is there any sound dampening qualities to installing this stuff?
3) Can you use this in conjunction with a R-value insulation such as the pink foam sheets (underneath or over the radiant barrier)? If so, in Texas would I want the R-insulation under or over your product?
It really depends on if the building is considered "conditioned" or "non-conditioned". Take a look at this article: bluetexinsulation.com/pages/insulating-non-conditioned-buildings-vs-conditioned-buildings Then, you can determine the right process/products based on your goal. But, yes, you can use in conjunction with other products. bluetexinsulation.com/pages/insulating-conditioned-buildings-hot-mixed-climates-installation
Any recommendations on product to attach furing strips to metal tubular building?
2 1/2" Self drilling screws work great to attach wood furring strips to the metal before you install www.BlueTexInsulation.com
Is this something we can attach to RV’s can this be an exterior or just interior?
Definitely CAN use the white side facing out on exterior in the weather. Probably get at least 5 years use before any significant deterioration. It's not what it's really designed for, but we have had many customers use in outdoor applications with great results. www.BlueTexInsulation.com
