Stop condensation with Fabral factory applied CondenStop. Easily and effectively prevent condensation and the problems caused by condensation by installing Fabral panels featuring CondenStop on your next project.

FAQS

How does it work?

The CondenStop fleece absorbs, stores and releases significant quantities of moisture when condensation would normally occur. When the temperature of a metal roof drops below the dew point, the CondenStop fleece will absorb and store the condensing water vapor. The absorbed water will evaporate again into the ambient air under appropriate temperature and ventilation conditions.

Why is condensation an issue?

When there is a temperature difference between inside and outside a building, condensation can form on the interior of cold metal panels – it is a natural effect.

How long has CondenStop been around?

15 years, and CondenStop is the leader in the market.

What is the life expectancy once applied?

CondenStop is made from durable polyester materials designed to last the life of the metal panels; a wide variety of testing and in-place projects confirms the product’s durability.

Is CondenStop factory applied to metal panels? And is it secure once in application?

Yes, it is factory applied. The adhesion is quite strong and comes with a 20-year no delamination warranty.

What panels come with Condenstop?

Grandrib 3® Plus painted, Grandrib 3® painted and MP Panel painted.

What colors are available?

Light gray is standard.

What is the R Value?

The R-value is minimal, only 0.3691. However, the product’s value comes from its ability to store and release moisture where other materials cannot.

Does the moisture affect the metal?

No

Can panels be lapped?

Panel side laps are OK because of a factory hold-back, however, panel end laps should be avoided by using full length panels from eave to ridge.

Are there special installation instructions?

Full length panels from eave to ridge are recommended, and eave overhangs should be painted to seal microfibers from absorbing moisture from the outside.

Is the material heavy and does it add a lot of weight to the panels making them difficult to handle in the field?

No, CondenStop is very light, you will hardly notice any weight differential at all.

If CondenStop is used, does the building have to be ventilated?

Yes, a properly ventilated building is still important. CondenStop helps smooth out drying cycles but buildings should still utilize good ventilation practices.

What are the flame retardency properties?

Class I flame retardant per ASTM E84-04.

What are the absorption and drying properties?

CondenStop holds 21 lbs of moisture per 100 square feet. This equates to over 10 quarts of water per 100 square feet.

Will mold grow?

No, the micro fibers of CondenStop do not support mold growth.

Does CondenStop limit sound?

Yes, it reduces noise from outside such as rain as well as absorbing sound from inside the building. Use of CondenStop will yield similar results to that of alternative vapor retarders.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, 20-year no delamination warranty.

Mitered Corners

Achieve your architecturally dynamic design by incorporating horizontal metal siding with Fabral’s seamless mitered corners. Fabral’s mitered corners – corners that are formed by using the Fabral siding panel specified in the design – are specifically engineered to ensure complete horizontal continuity.

FABRAL’S MITERED CORNERS ARE:

  • constructed from quality steel and aluminum, eliminating corrosion
  • factory-coated with primer and paint, ensuring color matching to the adjacent panels
  • formed from existing Fabral siding panels, folded to the desired angle and structurally bonded with a two-part adhesive, eliminating transition lines and weld-burn damage
  • backed up with a perforated angle, providing additional structural integrity

All of which together guarantees a weather tight, structurally sound corner with a continuous appearance.

Polyiso Roof Insulation

Closed cell foam polyiso insulation is the product of choice for energy-aware architects, specifiers, builders, owners and consumers. Ideally suited for Fabral standing seam roofs, ACFoam® -III Polyiso Roof Insulation can be used without a thermal barrier. Easily integrated with a Fabral metal roof system, it reduces thermal conductivity and satisfies specification requirements across a wide range of roofing applications. Polyiso insulation is used in 65% of today’s new and re-roofing project

  • Polyiso offers the highest R-value per inch of any rigid foam board insulation. Thermal performance is measured using derivative of the R-value known as the Long-Term Thermal Resistance (LTTR) Method. LTTR is a 15-year time-weighted method based on customer’s insulation needs; available values range from 5.6 to 27.3. As the value increases so does the performance of the insulation. (Note: R and LTTR values may be used interchangeably.)
  • Polyiso has the highest level of inherent fire resistance of all foam plastics. Performs exceptionally well in three key fire tests (ASTM E84, NFPA 285 and NFPA 286/UL 1715).
  • To learn about thermal resistance, recycled content, weight, and truckload quantities, click here.

ACFoam® -III:  This closed cell polyiso system is recognized by the Green Guard Environmental Institute as resistant to mold growth.

ACFoam® CrossVent® :  The ACFoam® CrossVent® insulation board consists of a closed-cell polyiso with 1.0″, 1.5″, or 2.0″ vent spacer strips. The spacer strips on the insulation board allow for constant airflow that provides thermal resistance through the airspace by helping to dissipate heat buildup beneath the OSB.

ACFoam Nail Base:  ACFoam Nail Base Insulation has a 7/16″ OSB applied to the foam providing a firmer surface and additional support for installation.

ACFoam Nail Base Fasteners:  Atlas Nail Base Fasteners are specially engineered fasteners for installing ACFoam® CrossVent® , CrossVent® RB and Nail Base Insulation, and are required as a part of the Nail Base Insulation System.
