Just follow these simple steps and find out why installers rate this material first 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 The Barrier roll with tape edge up and white side up, then lay flat on base material, with longest dimension parallel with
the direction of the pour.
3. Cut to length required —or roll up the footer form if desired to insulate the slab completely from heat and cold migration
(recommended by NOFP).
4. Lay next roll down. Peel away white tape backer-compress overlap tab firmly on taped edge. **It is important to make sure rolls
are butted tightly together to create a gapless seam when you compress together the double-faced adhesive tab.
5. Four foot sides, damaged film, and any cutouts should be seamed or repaired with appropriate seaming tape.
(These are general installation instructions. Instructions on architectural or structural drawings should be reviewed and followed as well.)

Read this before you buy: The chart shows the R-value of this insulation. R means resistance to heat flow. The
higher the R-Value the greater the insulating power.
