Installing Bubble Insulation in a metal building or pole barn

Why insulate your pole barn with reflective insulation?

Without adequate insulation, a large amount of heat will transfer in and out of your pole barn. During hot summer months when the sun is beating down on the roof, most of that heat will penetrate into the building. In the winter, any heat created inside of the building will easily escape. Installing Bubble Insulation is the best way to keep your pole barn warmer in winter and cooler in the summer.

Effective in all climates and seasons

Reflective Insulation, also known as Bubble Foil Insulation, is an effective way to combat heat gain/loss year-round. By reflecting 96% of radiant heat back to its source, the sun's ray will reflect away from your pole barn. In colder months, any heat source inside your structure will reflect inward—making the interior more comfortable while also saving on costly energy bills.

Prevent condensation on metal building

Prevent the formation of condensation in your pole barn

A common problem with steel buildings is they tend to produce moisture and frost when there's a large difference in temperature on either side of the exterior. This moisture can lead to many expensive issues down the road. Bubble Insulation not only reflects heat back to its source, it also provides a thermal break between hot and cold temperatures—reducing and sometimes eliminating the chances of moisture buildup year-round.

What you'll need for installation:

  • Scissors and knife for radiant barrier installation

    Scissors or utility knife

  • Insulation tape for radiant barrier

    Tape (to seal seams)

  • Install radiant barrier with 1-2 people

Pole Barn Insulation

Benefits of installing EcoFoil Reflective Bubble Insulation in your pole barn:

  • Reflects 96% of radiant heat - Find out how a radiant barrier works
  • Works in both warm and cold climates
  • Keeps large temperature differentials off of your steel panels to prevent condensation from forming on them
  • Bubble insulation is a full vapor barrier (when seams are taped) that blocks interior moisture from getting to steel panels, also preventing condensation
  • Very durable and can't be ripped or torn by hand
  • Lightweight and easy to handle & install
  • Safe to handle and requires no special clothing or breathing equipment

Pole barn or post frame buildings are typically constructed using wood framing with steel roofing and siding. Steel roofing is a highly conductive material in terms of heat transfer. EcoFoil Bubble Insulation creates a barrier that reflects 96% of the radiant heat from the sun's rays. EcoFoil's highly reflective surface provides superior protection against radiant heat and helps regulate temperatures in your post frame building year-round.

EcoFoil Bubble Insulation comes in different sized rolls and can be ordered with foil on both sides, or foil on one side and white on the other. Both finishes are equally effective. Many choose the EcoFoil White Bubble Insulation if the product will be left exposed as it gives the pole barn a clean, bright finish.

Insulating under a concrete slab in a pole barn

When building a new pole barn or post-frame building, it's always a good idea to insulate under concrete slabs with Ultra CBF Under Slab Insulation. This added layer of insulation will prevent heat gain/loss in your floor, helping to warm the floor in cold winter months.

Perfect for bird aviary - easy to work with!

We live in San Diego along the coast, so I ordered the double bubble for the outside aviary. The birds are now draft and moisture protected. Easy to cut with a razor blade or scissors. I placed it between the cement blocks which hold the damp coldness and their warm roosting cages. The double bubble was thin enough to attach it via clips to the wire, and sealed itself when I pocked J hooks thru it for hanging. As it is so light, where the clips would not work, I pocked holes with an ice pick, and place garden wire thru the holes and attached it snuggly to the wire. ...very, very easy to work with. And the white shows off their brilliant colors!
