Thermal Performance

Insulation & Liner Systems

Maximize energy efficiency and interior comfort. Our insulation systems transform simple fabric structures into fully climate-controlled industrial facilities.

Climate Control

Year-Round Operational Comfort

While a single-layer PVC membrane provides excellent weather protection, many industrial applications require precise temperature control or condensation management. Champion offers modular liner systems that can be installed during initial assembly or retrofitted later.

By adding an insulated layer, you can maintain interior temperatures significantly above or below ambient conditions, reducing HVAC energy costs and improving worker productivity in harsh climates.

❄

Maintain Heat

Keep interior temperatures above 5 °C even in sub-zero winter environments.

🌡

Cooling Efficiency

Reflective liners block up to 90% of radiant solar heat gain in summer.

Performance Features

Why Insulate?

Modern liners provide more than just thermal resistance; they improve the entire workspace.

🌡

Thermal Resistance

Multiple R-value options up to R-30 to meet local energy codes and reduce heat gain/loss year-round.

🔊

Acoustic Dampening

Liners significantly reduce interior echo and external noise penetration, making them ideal for workshops and sports facilities.

💧

Condensation Control

Specialized vapor barriers prevent "indoor rain" caused by thermal bridging in high-humidity applications.

Application Focus

Case Study: Cold Storage & Workshops

How we solve thermal challenges in the field.

Arctic Mining

High R-value liners allow maintenance of heavy equipment in -40 °C conditions using minimal heating energy.

Agricultural Storage

Vapor-sealed liners prevent moisture buildup that could ruin grain or fertilizer stocks in humid coastal zones.

HVAC Integration

Complete Climate Systems

Champion structures are engineered to support the integration of heavy-duty HVAC systems seamlessly with liners.

🌬

Forced Air

Ductwork and air handlers can be hung directly from the steel truss chords with engineered load-points.

🔀

Passive Venting

Ridge vents and mesh eaves work in tandem with liners to maintain healthy airflow while retaining heat.

🔥

Radiant Heating

Highly efficient for large open bays, heating the floor and objects rather than the vast volume of air.

FAQ

Insulation FAQ

Yes. Our liner systems are designed to be retrofitted to the interior of the steel trusses using our standard attachment points without dismantling the exterior roof.

No. We only use insulation and liner materials that meet or exceed the flame-retardant standards (B1/NFPA 701) of our primary PVC membrane.

Our climate-control liners include an integrated vapor barrier. The materials themselves are anti-fungal and resistant to moisture absorption.

Yes, most insulation liners block natural translucency. We recommend installing high-efficiency LED lighting systems which reflect well off white liners.

While the initial cost is higher, the ROI is typically realized in 2-4 years through significantly lower heating and cooling utility bills.

Yes. Our "Retrofittable Track System" allows for liner installation in existing Champion buildings without removing the main PVC cladding.
