Your space, insulated your way
At Spaciotempo, we offer a range of insulation and climate control options to ensure your temporary building performs to the highest standard, while keeping energy costs down and your people and products protected.
We’ll work closely with you to tailor the right solution for your needs, based on what’s most important to you. Whether that’s thermal efficiency, specialist storage or fire safety, we’ve got you covered.
From simple storage to complex production facilities, the insulation in your temporary building is driven by how you plan to use it.
You might only need a non-insulated option for short-term or weather-protected storage. But if you're housing temperature-sensitive goods or staff, insulated wall and roof systems can deliver year-round comfort and energy efficiency.
Whether it’s single-skin steel, inflated roofs or PIR-filled sandwich panels, we’ll guide you to the right level of insulation for your needs.

Every project is different, and so are the requirements. We offer a full suite of options, all designed to integrate seamlessly into our modular and temporary structures:
Insulated Walls
Prefabricated insulated panels provide effective thermal resistance and are ideal for long-term semi-permanent buildings or where indoor temperature stability is key.
Single Roofs
Our single skin roofs & gables consist of one layer of PVC, offering quality and reliability all year round. Useful in applications where temperature control is not required.
Thermal Roofs
Our roofing systems can include thermal barriers to reduce heat loss and prevent overheating, an essential feature for year-round use.
Hyper Efficient Inflated Roof
An inflated roof cover boasting a 43mm polyester fleece between PVC layers, equating to a low U-value and advanced insulator. Proven to be up to 78% more efficient than the standard PVC thermo roof cover, especially through the Winter months.
Air-Filled Layers
By trapping air between structural layers, this option improves thermal performance without adding bulk - especially useful in temporary retail structures.
HVAC
Integrated systems to regulate temperature, humidity and air quality, which is especially important for sensitive products, personnel, or processes stored or operated within these structures
Insulated Sandwich Panels
Our high-performance insulated sandwich panels are ideal for cold storage, pharmaceutical, and other temperature-sensitive environments. These 40mm steel-clad panels feature a rigid PIR foam core between two durable steel outer skins, providing excellent thermal insulation.
The diffusion-proof construction reduces heat loss, supports a stable internal climate, prevents damp-related damage, and lowers energy use for heating and cooling — helping to keep overall running costs down.
Heating
We offer powerful portable heating solutions to maintain comfortable working conditions or protect temperature-sensitive goods during colder months. The Scudo 200, one of our most capable units, delivers a heating capacity of 198kW and can heat areas up to 2,755m³. It runs on kerosene and connects to a bunded fuel tank, with a hose reach of up to 160 metres. This skid-loaded, encased heater is forklift-positioned on site and includes a centrifugal fan for efficient warm air delivery.
Partial Insulation
Where full insulation isn’t required, we can apply thermal materials only where it matters most – such as ceilings, dividing walls, or a single zone.
Rigid Foam Insulation Boards
Lightweight boards fitted within walls or floors – offering a custom-fit solution for temporary offices, welfare units, or small modular buildings.
BROOF t4
A Fire performance classification for roofing systems, specifically addressing external fire exposure resistance. It's part of Approved Document B (ADB) in the UK and ensures a roof can withstand fire from the outside, preventing flames from penetrating the roof and spreading for up to 60 minutes.
Air Conditioning
For cooling and humidity control, our temporary & semi-permanent buildings can be fitted with fully integrated or standalone AC units for summer operation or specialist use.
Temporary insulated buildings. Your sector covered.
(01)
Cold Storage
Maintain low temperatures for frozen or chilled goods.
Our insulated structures ensure consistent low temperatures for frozen or chilled storage. They help protect product quality, reduce energy use, and can be adapted for both short-term and long-term storage.
(02)
Food & Beverage
Ensure hygiene standards and preserve shelf life.
We provide insulated buildings that meet strict hygiene standards for food and beverage storage. Controlled environments help prevent contamination and extend shelf life, with options for easy-to-clean finishes and temperature control.
(03)
Manufacturing Environments
Keep workers comfortable and safe.
Insulated workspaces help maintain comfortable conditions year-round, protecting both employees and equipment. They also support stable manufacturing processes and improve overall productivity.
(04)
Pharmaceutical & Medical Goods
Meet strict storage regulations.
Our insulated solutions provide the precise temperature and air quality control needed for sensitive pharmaceutical and medical products, ensuring full compliance with regulatory requirements.
(05)
Sustainability Goals
Reduce energy use and carbon footprint.
Well-insulated buildings improve energy efficiency, lowering heating and cooling demands. This helps reduce your carbon footprint and supports your organisation’s environmental targets.
Temporary building insulation FAQs
What types of insulation are available for temporary buildings?
Common options include insulated sandwich panels for walls, thermal roof liners, inflated roof systems, and HVAC. Each offers different levels of thermal performance based on your needs and budget.
Do I need insulation in my temporary building?
Insulation is recommended if the building will be used by staff, house temperature-sensitive goods, or operate in extreme weather conditions. For short-term or non-sensitive storage, a non-insulated structure may be sufficient.
Can I insulate just the roof or just the walls?
Yes. Partial insulation — such as an insulated roof with standard wall panels — is a popular, cost-effective option for improving comfort without fully insulating the structure. We also offer wall less or part cladded industrial canopies.
How does insulation affect energy efficiency in temporary buildings?
Insulation helps maintain consistent internal temperatures, reducing the need for external heating or cooling. This can lower energy consumption and create a more comfortable working environment.
What’s the difference between insulated and non-insulated temporary buildings?
Insulated buildings offer enhanced thermal performance, ideal for year-round use or sensitive applications. Non-insulated options provide weather protection and durability at a lower cost, making them suitable for general industrial storage or processing.
