- PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDING INSULATION
- NOTE ** This section is based on products manufactured by
- Thermal Design, Inc., at the following address:
- NOTE ** 600 N. Main Street P.O. Box 468
- NOTE ** Madison, NE 68748
- NOTE ** Telephone 1-800-255-0776.
- NOTE **
- NOTE ** The Simple Saver System for ceiling and walls for
- pre-engineered buildings provides thermal
- insulation, sound absorption, and a finished
- surface. Each system is custom made to fit each
- project, so it may be applied to virtually any
- brand of building, roof, or wall - whether of metal
- or of concrete or other solid material. Lighting,
- conduit, ducts, and piping can be hung from
- ceilings without cutting the vapor barrier.
- Request a design manual from Thermal Design, Inc.
- The system also can be applied to bar joists, wood
- truss, concrete tee, and steel beam structures,
- both in new construction and in retrofit of
- existing structures; consult the manufacturer for
- details.

- 2. Clamp the two bottom corners at the eave and also
- centered on the bay.
- 3. Pull the other end of the pleat-folded fabric across
- the building width on the strap platform, pausing
- only at the ridge to fasten the straps and fabric in
- position where plane of roof changes and to release
- temporary fasteners on the opposite ridge purlin.

- to the purlins without voids or gaps, as roof
- sheathing is applied.

- systems, and for retrofit systems.
- 5. Place thermal block on top of purlins or bottom of
- purlins for retrofit work, if no other thermal break
- exists.
- NOTE ** Retain the following paragraph for retrofit
- systems. Consult with the manufacturer for the
- various methods and details of installation
- available for retrofit systems.

- strap into each roof strap, permanently clamping the
- wall fabric between them.
-
- C. Straps: Install vertical straps along each column and 5
- feet 0 inches on center, maximum, fastening to each girt
- to retain system permanently in place.
-
- D. Seal wall fabric to the roof fabric, to the base angle,
- up the columns.
