Insulation for Nucor CFR™ Systems

Nucor Building Systems recommends that insulation be used in all “CFR”™ roof applications to avoid problems with
condensation forming. Insulation also provides a buffer between the purlins and the “CFR”™ roof to reduce noise and
possible damage due to metal-to-metal contact. Insulation requirements are as follows:

Short Clips -

2” to 4” of insulation compressing to ½” over roof purlins.
(EPS foam spacers available for limited use in un-insulated areas.)

Tall Clips -

4” to 6” of insulation compressing to 3/4 ” thickness under thermal block at roof purlin locations.
Thermal blocks are required when tall clips are used.
(1 ½” thermal blocks with adhesive are available for limited use in un-insulated roof areas.)

Applications -

Fixed or floating roof clips may be used as determined by the following:
    Roof Structural Type Panel Run </=120"0" Panel Run>120'0"
