Insulation Facings
Here at Winona Building Products, we specialize in creating the best insulation facings for various applications. Protecting insulation is crucial to preserving a building’s lifespan, and that’s especially true for steel and metal building applications. We construct our vapor retarders to exceed expectations:
FSK — Foil. Scrim. Kraft. FSK insulation is commonly used by original equipment manufacturers during the construction of duct wraps, duct boards, and common HVAC equipment insulation applications. This type of insulation facing serves both as a vapor barrier that controls moisture and a protective layer over the actual insulation material, such as fiberglass.
PSK — Polypropylene. Scrim. Kraft. Rather than the foil outer layer, PSK uses a plastic blend of polypropylene. This form of insulation facing is commonly used as duct wrap and also excels for metal building insulation and basement wall facings. The strength of the polypropylene helps prevent moisture from reaching the inner layers of your insulation.
Contract Lamination
While we primarily specialize in constructing the best insulation facings, we also have the ability to laminate specialty facings of your choosing. If you have a specialty foil, polypropylene, or other type of substrate that you’d like adhered to layers of scrim and kraft, we can do so using the first eco-friendly adhesive.
Our adhesive formula — the part of the product responsible for laminating all three layers — is the first of its kind that achieves the necessary fire-retardant ratings and bonding capabilities without the use of any chemicals considered harmful to the environment by the International Living Future Institute. So, whether you turn to our pre-constructed insulation facings or partner with our contract laminators to make your own, you can rest assured that the product is environmentally friendly and safe for humans.
Both processes are completed at our facility in Indiana using state-of-the-art equipment that produces the woven scrim, adheres it to strong kraft paper, and laminates all plies together through a series of rolling and nipping.
This is only a broad overview of the processes we follow at Winona Building Products to deliver the best insulation facing solutions possible. We’ll dive into more specifics during later series, but feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
