Performance Insulation
Sprung structures are engineered to provide better climate control with optimal heating and cooling efficiency. Our virtually airtight system, combined with a fully lofted layer of fiberglass blanket insulation and tensioned interior membrane, contributes to a highly efficient insulated building solution.

Sprung’s insulated buildings perform
- We use a layer formaldehyde-free fiberglass blanketing that’s up to 9 inches thick. Allowing for a standard building envelope with insulation values ranging from R-25 to R-47 depending on sizes, configurations, and accessories. Higher values can be achieved upon request. This performs better than the thinner insulation that’s typically used in metal and conventional construction, resulting in reduced climate control costs and enhanced sound absorption for better acoustics.
- Our exterior architectural membrane has an envelope that allows insulation to retain its maximum thickness and achieve better performance and comfort.
- The continuous wall and roof channels in an insulated Sprung structure provide maximum performance from grade to peak, ensuring a more consistent R-value rating (the measure of thermal resistance). Insulation in metal buildings, meanwhile, is compressed throughout, significantly lowering its overall R-value.
- Our structures typically come complete with an interior membrane that’s more durable than drywall and offers exceptional fire-retardant capability.
