This RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation System was manufactured at our facility in Reed, KY for installation on a storage tank constructed for fire protection at an aviation facility.
The tank measured 20.8’ in diameter and stood 23.59’ high. The tank was positioned in close proximity to another tank that had existing spray foam insulation. Spray foam insulation on tanks will maintain a fair R Value, however, the consistent maintenance with re applying the top coat of UV inhibiting paint is crucial for the spray foam to last. As you can see the appearance of spray foam is less desirable compared with the RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation System.
Upon completion of the project the General Contractor stated that the work was completed satisfactorily and that he would recommend the RIDGLOK® Panel System to others.
