Faced fiberglass insulation with a clean white vinyl finish — thermal control, condensation management and a bright, finished interior for post-frame and metal buildings.
Vinyl Back Insulation provides an added layer of thermal control while also improving the interior appearance of the building. The vinyl facing creates a clean, finished look while helping manage condensation and support overall energy efficiency.
Why Vinyl Back Insulation
Built to perform — here's what sets it apart.
Year-round thermal control
A faced fiberglass blanket slows heat transfer — warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and quieter inside.
Controls condensation
The white vinyl facing is a vapor barrier that helps keep warm, moist interior air from condensing on cold metal — cutting drips, rust and mold.
Clean, finished interior
The bright white vinyl face gives walls and ceilings a smooth, light-reflective, washable look — no exposed fiberglass on display.
Built for post-frame & metal
The industry-standard way to insulate pole barns, shops, garages and post-frame buildings — installed as a continuous blanket for fewer gaps.

Frequently asked questions
Vinyl-back blanket comes in a range of R-values. The common thicknesses are about R-7 at 2″ and R-10 at 3″, with thicker rolls available for higher needs. We’ll recommend the right R-value for how you’ll use the building and your climate.
The white vinyl laminated to one side does two jobs: it’s a vapor barrier that helps control condensation on the metal, and it gives the interior a clean, bright, washable finished surface instead of exposed fiberglass.
Yes — faced insulation with a low-perm vinyl vapor barrier slows warm, humid indoor air from reaching the cold metal skin where it would otherwise condense, drip and cause rust or mold. Taping the seams keeps the vapor barrier continuous.
We stock 2″ and 3″ vinyl-back insulation. Thicker options can be ordered for higher R-value needs — just ask.
We recommend pairing Vinyl Back Insulation with 26-gauge metal panels — the heavier gauge gives a sturdier, cleaner finished result.

PAC lumber is the place to go for just about anything you need. Had them build my garage and it turned out awesome! Easy to design right in the store. Very professional crew hardly any waste left at the end of the job. Anytime I called I was treated great and all my questions were answered. Thanks to Christopher and all the PAC lumber employees for all the help.

I am enjoying that we don't have to run to Dickson to Lowe's! Pac has provided all our needs so far without having to leave Waverly as it should be! There prices on lumber are very compatible with Lowe's, in fact they beat them on some lumber and it's a better quality! They also deliver!!

We have a huge build going on for a year and we set up an account for our builder to use at PAC. PAC has been very fair with their prices and competitive with with the large box stores. It is nice that for every purchase we get a statement emailed to us. We appreciate all that you have provided to make our build a success. We will continue to call upon you in the future for all our building needs.
