INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS
CONCRETE
- Install adjustable clips.
- Push FOILBOARD INSULATION PANEL over clips completely covering wall (in very windy situations it may be necessary to glue to concrete)
- Tape joins.
- Push battens into clips.
- Screw plasterboard to battens.
TIMBER FRAME
Installation of FOILBOARD INSULATION PANEL is best done after frame, bracing, roof, fascia, windows and plumbing rough in are all complete and frame inspection is passed. Please note: for a proper fit, plumbing should be connected to floor joist or 400-500mm above bottom plate. Electrical wiring should be done after FOILBOARD INSULATION PANEL is installed. In windy conditions it is suggested that the windward side is sheeted first, thus sheltering the rest of the job. FOILBOARD INSULATION PANEL may be easily cut to size with a long snap blade knife, handsaw or breadknife.
The top sheets should be fitted first (push up until they hit the underside of rafters) cutting and fitting around rafters will then be avoided. 3 fasteners per stud are recommended in windy situations. The FOILBOARD INSULATION PANEL can be butt joined using the tape provided with the fasteners. Joins do not need to be on studs or noggins. For a perfect job sheets should lap onto top and bottom plates even if by only 10mm. Lintels should be covered and sheets butted at corners. Tape gaps and holes to prevent air infiltration which lowers “R” value.
UNDER FLOOR
Foilboard can be sliced up in between floor joists before flooring laid, or foil sheets can be attached to underside of joists if room permitting. As with other installations, all joins are sealed with tape, preventing air filtration. The result will be a floor with a similar insulation value to that of your ceiling, making timber floors warm to walk on during winter, and cooler during the summer.
