INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS
Installation of FOILBOARD™
INSULATION PANEL and FLOOR SADDLES is best done after joists are fixed to bearers and before yellow tongue or strip flooring is laid down. It is recommended that for best-fit plumbing rough in and all other services under floor are complete. FOILBOARD™ INSULATION PANEL is lightweight, easy and safe to handle. It may be easily cut to size with a long snap blade knife. Off-cuts can be taped and re-used.

Space FOILBOARD™ FLOOR SADDLES on top of floor joists at approximately 600mm centres. Saddles should be spaced 200mm from end of sheet. At double joists simply cut the FOILBOARD™ FLOOR SADDLE in half and fasten with a nail. Push FLOOR SADDLES down so that the specially designed teeth can grip the joist.

Cut FOILBOARD™ INSULATION PANEL to size to fit in-between joists. Place sheet between joists, resting on the lip of the FLOOR SADDLES. Gently apply pressure tothe FOILBOARD™ INSULATION PANEL until it clicks into place with our patented lock-in flap design. This will prevent wind and vermin from unsettling the sheet from underneath.

For a perfect job sheets should be taped where they join. Tape or silicone gaps and holes to prevent air infiltration that lowers the 'R' value.
