Whether the system is a thru fastened roof/wall or a Superior Seam Technology™ (SST) Standing Seam roofing system, this innovational 95% encased metal clad thermal spacer has an R-6 value that will meet the challenge. The thermal spacers carry the following ICC Standards ratings: Class A fire, Flame spread of 25 and a smoke index of less than 150 while being encased in 24-gauge metal cladding reducing flame exposure in case of fire (ICC does not allow exposed plastics and foam such as Styrofoam in the ceiling locations- see ICC Chapter 26).
The made in the USA SNS thermal spacer “The Performer” reduces or eliminates condensation and thermal transfer through the purlins/girts, which also allows for a tax incentive by meeting Energy Star requirements. SNS thermal spacer meets AISI and ASTM standards for structural integrity of the building while increasing roof/wall R values and lowering U values 30% or greater depending on thickness and configuration of blanket insulation system being used.
The parts maybe used in single layer or multi-layer insulation applications for roof or walls. The thermal spacer allows multi-layer wall blanket insulation without the issues of panel distortion or “oil canning” as when thick single layer blanket insulation is used to meet R or U values. However, single layer blanket insulation systems will benefit greatly when SNS thermal spacers are used as a 4” face blanket insulation system standard R-13 (U value 0.184) becomes an R-26 (U value 0.129) when SNS parts are placed onto the purlin/girt during erection process. The performance even improves more with dual layer blanket insulation applications such as 3” faced combined with 3” unfaced –6” typically R-19 or U value of 0.151 energized to R-38 or U value of 0.076 for a 99% increase in thermal performance.
The spacers easily integrate with either the single and/or two layers of the roof and wall insulation along the leading edge of the panel which helps keep the installation effort to a minimum. The erection friendly application with the ability to meet the ever-increasing thermal design criterion associated with Green Design, ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016 Thermal Bridging makes SNS the perfect product to meet thermal expectations today.
