Vinyl Back Insulation

Vinyl Back Insulation

Faced fiberglass insulation with a clean white vinyl finish — thermal control, condensation management and a bright, finished interior for post-frame and metal buildings.

2″ & 3″ thickness White vinyl vapor barrier facing Faced fiberglass blanket type

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.
Walls and ceilings of post-frame and metal buildings — pole barns, shops, garages and agricultural buildings.

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!!
