Insulation rolls
Metal building insulation rolls, the standard choice for roofs and walls.
- Glass wool roll with aluminium foil
- Glass wool roll with FSK facing
- Rockwool roll or slab with foil
PEB insulation for pre engineered metal buildings
Roof and wall insulation for sheds and warehouses, laid under the sheeting with a facing that stops the roof raining on your stock.
Why a PEB shed needs insulation
On a sunny afternoon a bare metal roof is basically a heater. The sheet gets far hotter than the air and all that heat radiates straight down onto people, machines and stock. If you've stood in an uninsulated warehouse at 3 pm in May you know exactly what we mean. Fans push the hot air around. They don't get rid of it.
Then there's the dripping, which people tend to notice in winter mornings and during the monsoon. Air inside the shed is warmer and damper than the roof sheet, so water condenses on the underside of the sheet and drips onto the floor, the stock and sometimes the electrical panels. Pre engineered metal building insulation with a proper vapour facing takes care of the heat and the dripping in one go.
Areas of application

Metal building insulation materials
Reflective layers
Light, quick radiant barriers that sit right under the sheet.
- Bubble insulation with foil on one side
- Bubble insulation with foil on both sides
Panels
Roof or wall and insulation in a single product.
- PUF or PIR sandwich panel
- Rockwool sandwich panel
Support and sealing
Holds the insulation up and keeps the facing continuous.
- GI wire or wire mesh under the purlins
- FSK and aluminium foil tape
- Self tapping screws
PEB insulation during erection or after
The cheapest, easiest time to insulate a PEB shed is while it's going up. Wire mesh or straps get run across the purlins, the roll goes on top with the facing down, the joints are taped and the roof sheet goes straight over it. One trip up onto the roof covers both jobs.
If the shed's already built and running, we fix the insulation from underneath instead. That's underdeck insulation, and it can normally be done section by section without stopping production. On a ceramic unit in Morbi we covered 92,000 sq ft of PEB roof that way, shift by shift, with the line running the whole time.
How we fit metal building roof insulation
- We start with the purlin spacing, slope and sheet profile, off the drawing if there is one, otherwise on site with a tape.
- Run GI wire mesh or straps across the purlins to carry the roll.
- Lay the roll with the vapour facing towards the inside of the building.
- Each joint in the facing is overlapped and taped with foil or FSK tape, which is the step people rush.
- The erector fixes the roof sheet on top, and we watch that the wool isn't crushed flat at every purlin.
- Last, the ridge, eaves and gable ends are closed off so there's no open edge in the facing.
Specification before price. Density, thickness and finish, then a rate.
How we work, the same four steps on a single line or a plant-wide shutdown.
Site visit and measurement
We go through the drawings or walk the shed, check purlin spacing and roof and wall areas, and find out whether the building's live.
Specification and quote
Material, density, thickness, facing and how it's supported, all in writing, with a rate per square metre and dates.
Supply and installation
Material comes from our stock and gets fitted with the PEB erector during construction, or from below if the shed's already working.
Handover and support
We measure the area jointly, hand over photos and give you a written warranty.
Why shed and warehouse owners pick us.
- Every facing joint is taped, so condensation can't sneak past it.
- We work alongside the PEB erector, so the roof only gets opened once.
- Live sheds get done section by section without halting production.
- Glass wool, rockwool, bubble and sandwich panels are all in our own stock.
- We've fitted PEB insulation systems on big roofs in Morbi and across Gujarat.
- Measured and handed over in square metres you can check yourself.
PEB insulation questions, answered.
Still unsure? Send us the duty and a few photos and we will tell you what we would fit.
What is PEB insulation?
It's the insulation fitted under the roof sheets and wall sheets of a pre engineered metal building. We normally use a glass wool or rockwool roll with foil or FSK facing, and it deals with both the heat from the roof and the condensation.
What is the best insulation for metal buildings?
In most sheds we'd go with a glass wool roll faced with aluminium foil or FSK, it's the best value for what it does. If your insurer or the client wants a better fire rating, rockwool. For cold rooms and clean buildings we'd usually suggest sandwich panels instead.
Can insulation be added to an existing PEB shed?
Yes, quite a lot of our work is exactly that. We fix it up from below the roof (underdeck insulation, basically) and go a few bays at a time so the shed doesn't have to stop.
Why does my metal roof drip water?
That's condensation. The air in the shed is warmer and wetter than the sheet, so water forms on the underside of the sheet and falls. If the insulation has a continuous vapour facing, the damp air can't reach the sheet and it stops.
How is PEB insulation priced?
We price industrial PEB insulation per square metre. What changes the rate is the material, the thickness, the facing, and whether we're fitting it during erection or from below afterwards, which takes longer. Send drawings or let us see the site and you'll get a written rate.
Building a shed, or running a hot one?
Send the PEB drawings or just a few photos of the roof. We'll suggest the insulation, the facing and a rate per square metre.
