the sill plate or a furring strip secured to the floor.
5. Position first length at corner, wrapping around
the corner and fasten with self-tapping screws or
with reflective tape, sufficient to hold in place.
NOTE: If the AstroShield product you are installing on walls is
one of the AstroShield 'White' products, and the reflective
surface is facing toward the outside, installation must include a
method of insuring a 1" airspace between Astroshield and the
metal siding.

length. Butt sides evenly together or slightly overlap.
Tape all seams following the instructions on page 6.
Measure and cut lengths as in Step 1. Attach to the
inside of the top of the wall plate as in Step 2. Begin
hanging and securing subsequent strips as in Step 3.
Leave approximately 1” airspace between wall and
insulation. Continue installation per Step 4 and 5,
following taping instructions on page 6.
