How to Insulate an Existing Metal Building: SteelMaster Customer Explains All

In the world of durable and versatile steel buildings, SteelMaster has earned its reputation as a go-to choice for customers seeking longevity and adaptability. One such customer, Karl B. embarked on his SteelMaster journey back in 2005 when he purchased an A-Model Quonset hut to utilize as a storage building on his rural property in the Arizona desert.

Karl’s initial decision to choose SteelMaster in 2005 was rooted in the company’s commitment to quality and durability. The A-Model building, known for its strength and versatility, provided Karl with a reliable space that stood the test of time. Over the years, the building had served various purposes, but as Karl’s needs evolved, so did his vision for the structure.

In 2023, Karl decided to enhance his structure with an insulation package, making his steel haven an all-season retreat. Now, his family can enjoy the property year-round as a living space, even when the temperatures hit as low as thirty degrees.

Recognizing the need for insulation to transform his space into a comfortable and energy-efficient environment, Karl turned to SteelMaster once again. Prior to insulating the building, Karl and his family would need to burn wood all night long. Now, he only burns two logs throughout the night, while the interior maintains a comfortable temperature.

Karl said, “There’s a huge difference. It feels like a brand-new building.”

Tips on How to Install Insulation to an Existing Building:

• Plan a reasonable amount of time for the project:
  Upon delivery of the insulation package, you will want to account for the installation process, accounting for potential delays due to weather, quality checks, and finishing touches.
• Plan all the predecessor tasks prior to installing:
  No matter how long you have had your Quonset hut prior to purchasing an insulation package, there will most likely be several items in your building you will need to clear out. Make sure you prepare to clear the space and make any necessary repairs, while also ensuring all safety measures are in place.
• Get the help of a few friends!
  With just the help of a few friends, the transformation of your energy-efficient Quonset hut is possible!

SteelMaster’s insulation packages are designed not only to regulate temperature but also to enhance the overall functionality of the steel structures. Karl’s decision to invest in insulation showcased his commitment to maximizing the potential of his A-Model building. Whether it’s a cozy winter retreat or a cool summer escape, Karl can now enjoy his SteelMaster building in any season.
