At MQS Structures, we love to see new pole barns when they were built just right. We know that many of our clients are doing everything they can to save a little money on their new barn, but sometimes saving money upfront means spending even more later. This is particularly the case regarding insulation on your new pole barn or garage hobby shop in Pittsburgh. Consider the following reasons why you should insulate new post frame buildings in Pittsburgh from day one.
Insulated Barns are Cooler in the Summer and Warmer in the Winter
Working inside uninsulated custom pole barns in Pittsburgh during the coldest days of winter or the hottest days of the summer can be miserable. Insulation prevents the sun from heating up your barn as much on hot days and keeps the air inside warmer on cold days.
Insulated Barns Can Be Used for More Purposes than Uninsulated Barns
If you only intend to keep hay in your barn, you probably don’t need to insulate it. Nonetheless, if you hope to spend time inside your barn or keep animals in it, insulation is worth it. Workshops, storage spaces, offices, and dozens of other businesses benefit from an insulated structure.
It is Easier to Insulate a New Barn than an Old One
An empty building is much easier (and faster) to insulate than a building already in use. Similarly, you can insulate your building better if you plan for insulation in the original design than if you choose to retrofit insulation in a building that wasn’t designed for insulation.
It is Cheaper to Insulate a New Barn than an Old Barn
Insulate your barn while the construction crew is still there, and you can be sure to save some cash. If you wait until your barn is already in use, you will have to empty it and call a construction out to install insulation. Save yourself time and money by insulating from the start!
