Stable internal climates for poultry and swine housing
AgriSHIELD helps keep outside heat from working against the environment you are creating inside — insulating the ceiling plane of tunnel-ventilated and conventional livestock housing to support more controlled conditions in poultry and swine housing.
Keep outside conditions from taking control
Less heat stress in the flock
AgriSHIELD helps reduce heat transfer from the roof into the occupied zone, supporting more controlled indoor conditions during the hottest parts of the day.
Works with your ventilation
By reducing unwanted heat transfer through the roof, AgriSHIELD helps the building envelope work with — not against — the environment your ventilation system is designed to maintain.
Quieter through the rain
Rain drumming on metal sheeting is a real stressor. AgriSHIELD helps absorb rain impact noise beneath metal roofing, creating a quieter environment inside during heavy downpours.
Protection built into the material
Natural borate minerals make the material inhospitable to mold, insects and rodents in a warm, humid, high-ammonia environment.
Compatible with metal structures
Formulated to sit against metal purlins and sheeting without accelerating corrosion over the life of the shed.
Fits the cycle
Installation can be scheduled around cleanout and downtime between production cycles, helping minimise disruption to farm operations.
Where AgriSHIELD performs
Acoustic & thermal data
IFI cellulose, tested to ASTM C423 on solid backing. Performance varies with installed thickness and the requirements of each house; final specification is determined according to project requirements.
| Thickness | Imperial | R-Value | NRC |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 mm | 5⁄8″ | 2.2 | 0.55 |
| 25 mm | 1″ | 3.6 | 0.75 |
| 38 mm | 1½″ | 5.5 | 0.90 |
| 50 mm | 2″ | 7.2 | 0.95 |
| 64 mm | 2½″ | 9.2 | 1.00 |
| 76 mm | 3″ | 10.8 | 1.00 |
Material performance at the stated thickness. Specification for livestock housing is set against house type, ventilation design, stocking density and target temperature profile — IFI assesses each house before quoting.

Your project doesn't stop at insulation.
Neither do we.
IFI is part of the wider AIS Group, bringing together expertise across agricultural structures, ventilation equipment and complete housing systems. So when your project needs more than insulation, you have access to broader capabilities to help bring the whole solution together.
Integrators running multi-site programmes can contract insulation across a whole build-out with one specification and one accountable team.
