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.
