Read This Before You Buy: The chart shows the R-value of this insulation. R means resis-
tance to heat ow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. Compare
insulation R-values before you buy. There are other factors to consider. The amount of in-
sulation you need depends mainly on the climate where you live. Also, your fuel savings
from insulation will depend on climate, the type and size of your structure, the amount
of insulation already in your structure, and your fuel use patterns and occupancy. If you
buy too much insulation, it will cost you more than you’ll save on fuel. To get the marked
R-value, it is essential that this insulation be installed properly.
THE BARRIER PLACEMENT
Just follow these simple steps and nd out
why installers rate this material rst in today’s
market.
1
Base material should be as level as possible,
with all debris removed. Level and tamp or
roll granular base.
2
Unwind/Layout The Barrier with the tape
edge up. The way that the roll unwinds will
put the tape edge up.
3
Cut to length required. Use pre-printed
guide marks for increased cutting accuracy.
4
Lay down next roll / sheet starting from the
same side to insure that ange will fall over
tape edge on adjacent product. Push together
product so that no gap exists. Peel away back-
ing from taped edge and while pulling ange
towards the seam, compress the ange against
the pressure sensitive taped edge.
5
Four foot side, damaged lm, and any
cutouts should be seamed or repaired with
NOFP tape.
(These are general installation instructions. Instructions on
architectural or structural drawings should be reviewed and
followed as well).
