Therm-All Designed for use in both walls and roofs, the OptiLiner system features an exceptional vapor retarder, enhanced acoustical environment (both inside and outside of the building), and attractive fi nished appearance, with a bright interior fi nish that may allow for reduced lighting loads. In addition to its thermal and aesthetic benefi ts, OptiLiner helps meet the
most stringent of energy codes. The OptiLiner system meets the defi nition of Liner System (Ls) as described in the latest version of ASHRAE 90.1, which is also referenced by the IECC (International Energy Conservation Code). The OptiLiner roof system uses a series of 1-inch galvanized steel straps
to support a bright white or black polyethylene fabric that serves as the low permeance vapor retarder for the system. Fabric sections are custom fi t for each bay in order to ensure a swift installation and a clean interior fi nished appearance. This also allows roof cavities to be completely fi lled with uncom- pressed insulation, which maximizes the thermal performance. www.therm-all.com
