1 Fundamentals of Insulated Panel Installation MBCEA 2016 Clearwater, FL

2 Fundamentals of Insulated Panel Installation Industrial Roof & Walls Not Architectural Not Cold Storage

3 Topics Preparation Installation Walls Installation Roof

4 Preparation

5 Drawings & Installation Guides Read the instructions

6 Plan Fail to plan, plan to fail. Don t have panels delivered too far in advance. Verify panel lengths and locations Install supports at end laps & stack joints

7 Handling & Unloading Be familiar with packaging Bundle by elevation Strippable Film or Interleaf Minimize moving bundles

8 Fork Lift Unloading EQUAL EQUAL

9 Specialized Equipment

10 Fork Lift Modifications Bundle Width Blade Length Blocking (spacer)

11 Fork Lift Modifications

12 Forklift Damage

13 Crane Unloading

14 Crane Unloading Use straps Don t choke Pick points marked on bundles

15 Unloading Errors

16 Handling Lift on edge not flat Do not lift by the top skin

17 Lifting Methods - Clamps Most common method Not commercially available Many are not engineered

18 Lifting Methods Vacuum Lift Engineered for lifting IMP Primary method used in manufacturing

19 Proper Storage Slope to drain Stack no more than two bundles high Slit to allow air flow in bundles Do not move bundles after wrap removed

20 Storage Not correct storage

21 Cutting Panels Always use blades designed to cut metal. Do not cut panels with: Abrasive blades Reciprocating saws Torch

22 Elevation Layout Walls can be installed both directions Roofs are directional Avoid narrow start or finish panels

23 Stack Joints Alignment of panel seams is critical with stack joints. Best practice is to install bottom, middle and top courses at the same time.

24 Structural Alignment Verify installation of all structural framing and bracing. Verify alignment is acceptable. Shim voids as necessary.

25 Structure Structure must be complete, all bracing installed Structure must be square and plumb

26 Framing Alignment

27 Oil Canning Misaligned structure Over driven fasteners Longitudinal expansion Fastener pattern Movement of structure

28 Thermal Bow Normal Characteristic Bow is toward warm side

29 Air Barriers Attention to sealants is critical Moisture moves from warm side to cool Perimeter sealants are critical.

30 Installation Vertical Walls

31 Base Base or Stack Joint Install air barrier sealants

32 Base Just like single skin

33 Base Commonly missed detail

34 Corner Interior corner trim Part of air barrier

35 Corner

36 Corners Air barrier Marry air barriers together

37 Framed Openings Interior air barrier

38 Seam Sealant Factory or field applied Look for contamination or gaps Reapply if damaged Cold sensitive

39 Setting Panels Avoid using narrow starter panels Plumb panel!

40 Panel Attachment Concealed Clips Do not over drive fasteners Back side fastening if required

41 Air Barrier Marry joint perimeter sealants

42 Setting Panels Install to module

43 Framed Openings Air barrier Water dam sealant

44 Framed Openings Install through fasteners Do not over drive

45 Exterior Trims Expandable foam to fill voids

46 Exterior Trims Screws or Rivets

47 Penetrations Cover plates Air barriers Field applied foam

48 Installation Standing Seam Roof

49 Roof Air barrier Connections Common Details Seaming Penetrations

50 Air Barrier Interior ridge trim Air barrier most critical for roof

51 Connection Fixed Clip Concealed attachment

52 Seaming Hand seam at clips, end laps, and ends.

53 Seaming Mechanically Seamed at the end of project.

54 Installation Sequence Bottom to top May require staggered joints

55 End Laps Cut back Notch Field or Factory

56 Low Eave Notching

57 Common Details

58 Exterior Trims Expandable foam to fill voids

59 Penetrations Use insulated curbs
