Instructions – Everbilt Reflective Foil Insulation
Important – Safety Guidelines
Read before installation and retain a copy for future reference:
✓ Always check local building guidelines prior installation
✓ Always ensure Everbilt Insulation is installed in a clean and hazard free location- no worn
wires or electrical components
✓ Only ever work in well ventilated and lighted places
✓ Always wear eye protection when using a staple gun and follow manufacturers guidelines
for safe use
✓ Always be cautious and apply common sense when operating a staple gun. Ensure you know
where the electrical wiring is located. Stapling into wires can cause electric shock or even
death. NEVER staple into electrical wires.
✓ Take care when handling large sheets of Everbilt Insulation in windy conditions
✓ Use sunglasses in bright conditions to reduce glare
✓ Environments such as attics can be dangerously hot when outside temperatures are high-
always check the temperature of your work place
R-values are determined by “direction of heat flow” and the “depth of the airgap” for a particular
application. For this reason, the R-value varies with the home due to the different applications.
When used as a Radiant Barrier there is no R-Value. Radiant Barriers provide significant benefit by
reducing the radiant heat transfer.
For example: A radiant barrier reduces the surface temperature within an attic dramatically. A cooler
attic transfers less heat into the house, which means less air conditioning usage.
Attic: Radiant Barrier- Staple to the underside of the rafter or directly onto the decking; Do not cover
any ventilation devices with Everbilt Insulation; If installed under the rafter, please ensure an airgap
of 2” to 3” on each side of the roof peak ( 2” overlap butt seams); staple down to lower roof line
edge as far as possible ( within 18” is acceptable)
Cathedral Ceiling:
Cathedral Ceilings have to to be ventilated and installation of the product must be in line with local
building codes and by following our installation instructions.
Note: The continuous airgap of 0.75” between the EverBilt insulation and the top of the fibreglass
batt ( warmer climates) is required or between the EverBilt insulation and the finished ceiling
interior ( Northern area)
Cathedral Ceiling above the fiberglass installation- Southern Areas of the USA Only:
Benefits: Keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Installation :Start at the top of the cavity and run the product directly on to the decking and parallel
to the rafter; staple EverBilt Insulation directly onto the deck (the staples will not effect the
performance of the product) – Do not cover any ventilation devices with Everbilt Insulation. A
continuous airgap of a minimum of 0.75 inch below the Everbilt Insulation is required; Install the
code fiberglass batt below Everbilt Insulation
Cathedral Ceiling below the fibreglass – Northern Areas of the USA and Canada:
Benefits: Keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter and it acts as a vapour control layer.
