Metal Building with fiberbags installed
I have a hvac installer saying that he has seen oc applied over existing fiberbags by other contractors and everything was ok...I disagree with him i think that the fiberglass needs to be removed and foam applied directly to the metal substrate. I think there would be possible moisture mold issues down the road. Any thoughts on this?

Just wanted to share......

last week was called to a site where a metal building was showing signs of rust through FROM THE INSIDE.

Building was 6 years old in a heating climate. Someone had sprayed CCF over exiting fiberglass. And you guessed it....the fiberglass was saturated.

DONT TAKE SHORTCUTS......WALK AWAY BEFORE YOU CREATE A POTENTIAL LAWSUIT!!!!

happenin all over the place,,
hillbilly foamers bein supplied by
top rank suppliers who are saturating the
market with folks who were searchin for a
purpose long before foam,,and they're still
searchin,,,at our expense...god luv em..
lets see...
preferred contractor
gold star applicator
hillbilly foamer
im a roofer too
im a plumber too
im a drywaller too (aint that who you want doin your foam work,,the guy coverin it up..lol)
im a framer too (see above)
...la te da te dee,,,and the beat goes on...



,,and monday morning comeing down,,,

ps: many folks fail to remember that the metal panels themselves are a vapor retarding membrane,,,

and for the shirt and tie and skirt bunch,,,i wonder what unintended liability is being incurred by providing materials and or equipment to whomever has the $$$ and provides such quality installations,,,,
