TUFSEAM OVERVIEW
TufSeam
is the most advanced tank and vessel insulation panel system available
today. Our system provides long-term, maintenance-free thermal control,
saving hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in heating/cooling
costs during the storage of chemicals, oil, gas, asphalt, brewery, and
food products. Each system is pre-fabricated in
our factory to meet the highest quality control standards. TufSeam is
custom engineered for your specific tank height, assuring a precise
fit for maximum efficiency and ease of installation. TufSeam Panel Systems
are available in stucco embossed aluminum, per ASTM 8-209, type 304
stainless steel or galvalume combined with FOAMGLAS(R) insulation. View

DURABLE, FIRE RESISTANT, WEATHERPROOF.
The aluminum or stainless steel outer shell, combined
with the double rolled seam, provides a weatherproof, durable maintenance-free
tank insulation/fire protection system. The internal anchor system features
horizontal cables which are easily applied circumferentially around
the tank, eliminating external bands. Flanges of adjacent panels are
double-rolled over each other by a self-propelled tool that travels
up the panel seams. The continuous vertical panels are manufactured
in lengths to fit your tank height and are shipped to the jobsite ready
for installation without the necessity of scaffolding. The combination
of Stainless steel or Galvalume Jacketing with FOAMGLAS(R) insulation
has been fire tested, a combination of these materials can be designed
to give you your insulation/fire protection you require. The double-rolled
seam provides a tough weatherproof seal between panels. Rivets and screws
are not required to anchor the panels. No holes penetrate the outer
shell. TufSeam is designed to withstand hurricane force winds. View
TufSeam Installation Process.
Thermal
Performance. The outer shell, plus the thermally efficient
insulation, add up to excellent in-place thermal performance. The TufSeam
System offers you a choice when selecting the best materials to meet
your tank insulation needs.
Expansion/Contraction. The TufSeam
internal anchor and double-rolled seam work together to accommodate
expansion and contraction of the tank. As a result, the panels are held
securely against the tank regardless of thermal conditions.
Roof Compatibility. TufSeam is
compatible with all types of conventional or standing rib roofing systems.
Quality Assurance. TufSeam panels
are factory-manufactured to exacting specifications, thereby assuring
the highest degree of fabrication consistency.
