Revolutionizing Metal Building Insulation Retrofit Applications
RetroShield® is a revolutionary reflective insulation solution for metal building retrofits, uniquely designed for metal and steel building structures. This system redefines retrofit insulation for existing metal buildings, offering a fast, efficient installation process that stands out among other metal building retrofit insulation systems.
Effortless Installation, Exceptional Performance
With our patented Clip & Pin technology, RetroShield® simplifies the retrofit metal building insulation process. This innovation eliminates the need for external supports, making it an ideal metal building insulation retrofit option that promises long-term stability and an aesthetically pleasing finish.
Superior Thermal Performance
RetroShield® retrofit insulation significantly enhances metal building roof and walls, reducing radiant heat transfer by 95%. This reflective insulation technology provides high reflectivity and low emissivity for superior thermal performance. The RetroShield® System offers continuous insulation and can be back-loaded with additional mass insulation for specific thermal performance or R-value requirements.
