Environmentally-Friendly Metal Building Insulation | Winona BP

We offer two primary types of products PSK and FSK — PSK stands for Polypropylene-Scrim-Kraft and FSK stands for Foil-Scrim-Kraft. Both of these metal building insulation options are easy to install and will most likely significantly reduce your energy costs. The initial investment in PSK or FSK (more on what makes them different soon) will be regained quickly due to the energy-efficiency improvements of your building. What is more, all of our insulation facings are made with eco-friendly adhesives, meaning that you’ll have the added satisfaction that your choice is not negatively impacting the environment, like some other types of insulation for metal building products can. From large scale commercial and industrial metal buildings to garages, barns, warehouses, and sheds, our steel building insulation solutions are a no-brainer, especially from a financial and environmental perspective.

One of the biggest things that make Winona Building Products unique is that our adhesive formula is not only fire-retardant and bonds strongly, but it does so without the usual use of chemicals considered by the International Living Future Institute to be dangerous to humans and the environment.

Winona’s insulation facings are designed with patent-pending flame retardant adhesive chemistry without the use of any Red List chemicals, according to the International Living Future Institute, and also meets stringent fire codes.

We believe that eco-friendly vapor barriers are the future.

Our customer service experts are waiting for your call!

We use both scrim and kraft is kraft paper that provides a surface to which the scrim and either polypropylene or foil are bonded and laminated, providing the ideal permeability characteristics for a vapor barrier. Scrim is a type of heavy duty lining — typically made of polyester or glass fibers or a combination of both arranged in a choice of various patterns, that significantly reinforces the finished insulation facing — and kraft is kraft paper that provides a surface to which the scrim and either polypropylene or foil are bonded and laminated, providing the ideal permeability characteristics for a vapor barrier. The final touch comes in with our special adhesive formula, connecting up all three layers. So, the basic process is as follows:

  • We make a woven scrim

  • Apply our patent-pending adhesive to kraft paper

  • The third layer (composed or aluminum foil or polypropylene film) are laminated together using extremely high pressure of ~13K psi

This process guarantees that you get high-quality, product-enhancing insulation facings that will last for years to come. Our adhesive is eco-friendly, has high bonding capabilities, and is safe for use in both residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Our white PSK insulation is more than just great thermal insulation for your metal building walls and ceilings — it also has a great aesthetic and looks very clean. PSK is lightweight, resilient, and free of formaldehyde resin.
