Detailed Product Description

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: CEILING, FLOORS AND WALLS
Cut to size: Always cut batts slightly oversize to ensure a tight fit. The length of the batts can be shortened by simply tearing across the batts by hand. If you require to cut down the length of the batt, sharp scissors can easily do this. Insulate all areas of the ceiling and walls leaving no gaps. Off-cuts can be used to fill any small spaces. All batts are available in two widths to standard housing construction, this being 430mm for 450 stud/joist centres and 580mm for 600mm stud/joist centres.
Ceilings: Insulation batts are designed to give a tight fit between ceiling joists. Start installation at the furthest point from the ceiling manhole laying the batts on top of the plasterboard. Poke batts into tricky areas using a stick or broom handle. In skillion roofs a small ventilation gap between the cladding and insulation is recommended.
Walls: Insulation batts are designed to give a tight fit between wall studs ensuring stability of the insulation in the wall cavity. To assist, batts may need to be stapled or strung to hold batts in place until plasterboard is installed. Where string is required two length of string should be fixed between the studs top to bottom ensuring that they are evenly spaced
Floors: Insulation batts are designed to give a tight fit between floor joists on the underside of the timber or metal floor. If installing between floors or in sub floors, batts may need to be stapled or strung to hold in place until the plasterboard is installed. Where string is required two length of string should be fixed between the bottom of the joists ensuring that they are evenly spaced.
