• Poultry sheds become extremely hot during summer.
• Heat stress negatively affects bird growth and egg production.
• Cooling systems consume large amounts of electricity.
• Condensation beneath metal roofs can create unhealthy conditions.

Fortunately, installing the right reflective roof insulation can significantly improve indoor comfort while helping maintain healthier conditions for poultry throughout the year.

TIRI Bubble Wrap Insulation is specially designed for metal roof buildings and agricultural structures. Its reflective aluminum foil and enclosed air-bubble layer work together to reduce radiant heat transfer, helping poultry sheds remain cooler and more energy efficient.

• Why Is Heat a Major Problem in Poultry Farms?

• Modern poultry sheds commonly use metal roofing because it is durable, lightweight, and economical. However, metal roofs absorb large amounts of solar radiation throughout the day and quickly transfer that heat into the building.


• As indoor temperatures rise, birds begin experiencing heat stress, which directly affects their health and productivity.


• Heat stress can lead to:
• • o Reduced feed intake
  • o Slower weight gain
  • o Lower egg production
  • o Higher mortality
  • o Increased water consumption
  • o Poor Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)
  • o Greater disease susceptibility


• During peak summer months, poultry houses can become considerably hotter than the outside environment if the roof is left uninsulated.

• What Is TIRI Bubble Wrap Insulation?

• TIRI Bubble Wrap Insulation is a high-performance reflective insulation solution designed specifically for metal-roof structures.


• It combines reflective aluminum foil with an enclosed air-bubble core to reduce heat transfer and improve indoor thermal comfort.


• It consists of:
• • o High-reflectivity aluminum foil
  • o Air bubble insulation layer
  • o Durable laminated construction


• Instead of allowing solar heat to enter the poultry shed, the reflective aluminum surface redirects most radiant heat away from the roof.


• This helps maintain a cooler, healthier, and more comfortable environment inside poultry buildings throughout the year.

• How Does TIRI Bubble Wrap Insulation Work in Poultry Farms?

• Unlike conventional insulation materials that mainly slow conductive heat, TIRI Bubble Wrap Insulation primarily reduces radiant heat—the largest source of heat entering metal-roof poultry sheds.


• During Summer
• The reflective aluminum surface reflects up to 95% of radiant heat, preventing excessive roof heating and reducing heat transfer into the poultry shed.


• As a result:
• • o Roof temperature decreases
  • o Indoor temperature remains more stable
  • o Birds experience less heat stress
  • o Cooling equipment works more efficiently


• During Winter
• The insulation also helps reduce heat loss from inside the poultry house, maintaining a more stable indoor environment for birds.


• This creates:
• • o Better chick brooding conditions
  • o Stable indoor temperatures
  • o Reduced heating energy consumption

• Benefits of TIRI Bubble Wrap Insulation for Poultry Farms

• 1. Reduces Heat Stress in Birds
• Heat stress is one of the leading causes of reduced productivity in poultry farming. A cooler environment allows birds to remain healthier and more productive.


• Benefits include:
• • o Normal feed intake
  • o Consistent growth
  • o Improved bird activity
  • o Lower mortality rates


• Healthy birds contribute directly to better farm performance and profitability.


• 2. Improves Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)
• Comfortable birds convert more feed into body weight instead of using energy to cope with excessive heat.


• Benefits include:
• • o Faster growth
  • o Better weight gain
  • o Improved production efficiency


• 3. Supports Better Egg Production
• Layer birds perform best under stable environmental conditions. Lower heat stress helps maintain production consistency.


• Benefits include:
• • o Improved egg production
  • o Better egg size
  • o Higher egg quality
  • o Stronger shell quality


• 4. Reduces Electricity Consumption
• Without insulation, ventilation fans and cooling systems must work continuously to remove excess heat from poultry sheds.


• By reducing roof heat gain, TIRI Bubble Wrap Insulation helps:
• • o Improve cooling efficiency
  • o Reduce HVAC workload
  • o Lower electricity costs


• 5. Prevents Condensation
• Temperature differences between indoor and outdoor air can create condensation beneath metal roofs.


• Excess moisture may cause:
• • o Wet litter
  • o Fungal growth
  • o Bacterial contamination
  • o Poor air quality


• Proper roof insulation helps minimize condensation, creating a cleaner and healthier poultry environment.


• 6. Improves Bird Comfort
• Bird welfare is essential for maintaining consistent poultry production.


• A comfortable environment helps maintain:
• • o Stable body temperature
  • o Lower stress levels
  • o Better immunity
  • o Improved flock health


• 7. Increases Farm Productivity
• Better environmental control contributes to improved farm performance.


• Benefits include:
• • o Higher survival rates
  • o Faster growth
  • o Better egg production
  • o Improved overall profitability

• Why Reflective Insulation Is Better for Metal Roof Poultry Sheds

• Metal roofs primarily transfer radiant heat, making reflective insulation one of the most effective solutions for poultry buildings.


• Traditional insulation materials mainly resist conductive heat, whereas reflective insulation is specifically designed to reduce radiant heat transfer before it enters the building.


• This makes TIRI Bubble Wrap Insulation ideal for:
• • o Poultry sheds
  • o Broiler farms
  • o Layer farms
  • o Hatcheries
  • o Breeding facilities

• Where Can TIRI Bubble Wrap Insulation Be Installed?

• TIRI Bubble Wrap Insulation is suitable for a wide range of agricultural and poultry applications.


• • o Poultry sheds
  • o Broiler farms
  • o Layer farms
  • o Hatcheries
  • o Breeder farms

  • o Turkey farms
  • o Quail farms
  • o Feed storage buildings
  • o Poultry processing units


• It can be installed in both newly constructed poultry sheds and existing metal-roof buildings as part of a retrofit project.
