1. Starting at the end of the roofing framework,
measure the length across the trusses, adding
enough to allow hang at both ends. Cut the first
piece and lay in place. Do not pull tight.
Measure the first length per Step 1. Secure the wall
plate per Step 3 to left or Step 2, page 2.
Remember!! Do not pull tight and secure to roof truss
and purlins. Continue adding additional insulation
starting from the wall plate, laying parallel to prior
piece. Tape all seems following recommended taping
procedure.
3. Cut the second length, laying parallel to first. Make
sure to butt or slightly overlap edges.
Tape ALL seams.

4. Roof sheeting can be applied in the conventional
manner as soon as there is sufficient insulation in
place to accommodate sheeting width.
*An alternative to taping each seam is to use our
Peel & Seal version of A
stroShield & AstroArmour.
This version features a self-adhesive release tape,
which allows for an easy peel-and-stick process;
eliminating the need to nail, screw or tape down.

IMPORTANT
When installing AstroShield or AstroArmour
products over the purlins, it is important to allow the
material to drape between each purlin so that there
will be an air space of about 1" after the roof deck is
applied. The reflective side must face an air space
in order to reflect the heat that comes from the roof.
Failing to provide the air space could lead to
degradation of the material and void the warranty.
EASY WAY TO TAPE SEAMS
Use AstroShield Peel & Seal, with self-adhesive
release tape for easy taping sheets together.
