insulation is flush with the underside
of floor/ceiling joists.
Upgrade: Additional layers of insulation can be
installed up to the thickness of the cavity to achieve
improved acoustical performance.

4. OPTIONAL - Install
Resilient Metal Channels.
For best acoustical performance,
install resilient metal channels across
studs to minimize sound energy passing
through studs.
Note: Resilient metal channels are not necessary
with light gauge metal stud walls.

Channels. For best acoustical
performance, install resilient metal
channels across joists to minimize sound
energy passing through studs.
Note: Resilient Channel is very important for floors
systems to minimize impact sounds from people

with long serrated knife
Working Area
Ensure installation area is accessible
and easy to move around in. You will
need something sturdy to kneel or
walk on such as a plank or a sheet of
plywood when working in an attic.
Tools
Keep the following tools on hand:
serrated knife, safety glasses,
mask and gloves.
Safety First
Wear protective gear: goggles,
gloves, dust mask or respirator,
long pants and sleeves. Ensure
there’s proper lighting.
1. Measure & Cut
The insulation is easy to cut with a serrated
knife for custom fitting around electrical boxes,
pipes, duct-work, wiring, or between
non-standard studs and joist.
2. Squeeze & Insert
The insulation is flexible and pliable; simply
squeeze the sides to compress the insulation and
insert into the desired wall.
3. Release & Expand
Once in place, the insulation naturally expands
to fill in the space, creating a snug, custom fit.
