Avoid future moisture problems by using a low perm facing:


Reduces the moisture entering the fiberglass insulation
Enables the insulation to perform as designed
Reduces the likelihood of water problems
 

 

The word "Perm" is used to quantify the rate of water vapor transfer through the facing into the fiberglass and onto the metal skin of the building. There are three basic perm levels offered by the facing suppliers: .02, .09 and 1.0. Lower perm facings reduce the amount of moisture entering the fiberglass which helps to save energy, reduce condensation and avoid future moisture related problems. Theoretically*, in a 50,000 square foot building, a .02 perm facing will only allow 1 gallon of water to pass through the facing in one week. This compares to 5 gallons for a facing with a .09 perm, and 50 gallons for a facing with a 1.0 perm rating.

*Test Conditions: ASTM E96 Procedure A - 73° F (23°C) and 50 % RH on one side of the vapor retarder, and 73° F (23°C) and 0 % RH on the other side.
