    • Thermal Spacer

    Our SNS® Thermal Spacer “The Performer” can be installed on the go (option 1) as insulation and sheets are installed or they can be installed all at once (option 2) either way, works great.

    Each thermal spacer comes in six-foot lengths which are the standard widths of two sheet panels and the typical width of a metal building insulation roll, making the thermal spacer easy to handle and install.

    Each thermal spacer comes with two flat-head screws to hold the six-foot thermal space in place.

    Suggestions:

    •   When installing the thermal spacers, center it over the flange of the girt

    •   Butt the thermal spacers end to end without added pressure

    •   Consider the placement of the flat-head screws through the thermal spacer, so that the SNS® panel fasteners do not conflict with the flathead screws

    •   When installing the insulation blankets, install to industry standards to allow for full expansion of fiberglass

    Step 1:

    Tutorial 1

    Thermal spacers are placed over the tops of the girts and are attached by two flat head screws. (Option 1) screw the first flathead screw at the end and the second screw around 12 inches from the first. (Option 2) screw the flathead screw at each ends.

    Fasteners:

    SNS2

    Our SNS® Panel Fastener has been specifically designed to be used with SNS®, Thermal Spacer “The Performer”. Use of this fastener is mandatory as it is key to the performance of the Sealed “N” Safe® Continuous Insulation System. If pre-drilling the sheeting, use a 1/8 drill bit to maintain the design and the performance of the fastener. Do not use any other fastener. Use of any other fastener will void all warranties.

    Suggestions:

    •  If your sheet requires more SNS® Panel fasteners than are provided, additional fasteners are available at SNS

    •  A 6 amp 2500 rpm electric screw-gun will be needed with a depth locating nosepiece. (See fasteners installation instructions)

    Step 2:

    Tutorial 2

    The fastening process works much like a typical screw-down application.  The only additional step is to set the thermal spacer in place with two flat head-screws and the use of the SNS® Panel Fastener to screw down the sheeting.
