Silverline Insulation

DIY Fitting Guidelines

Step One
Cut Silverline 0007 Insulation into manageable lengths (i.e. 3-6m) by simply rolling it out on floor, cutting and rolling up again.  Fig 2

Step Two
Take the cut rolls up through the man-hole and roll out ACROSS ceiling joists.  DO NOT place material hard against ceiling sheeting.

Step Three
Cut Silverline 0007 Insulation around any vertical timbers and staple any loose ends.  TAKE CARE not to put staples into any electric wires (Do not over staple). Fig 4

Note:  DO NOT pull Silverline 0007 Insulation tight – leave some slack to make it easy to see where ceiling joists are.  (Also it gives the material movement when walked on.) Fig3

START from the outside edge where the rafter intersects with ceiling joist.  Work your most difficult area first and work back towards man-hole.  Fig 1

Handy Hints

1. Use a stick (i.e. an old broom handle, with a nail in the end) to manoeuvre material into difficult areas.

2. It is not necessary to make sure joints are air tight, as long as there is actual over.  (Radiation travels in a straight line.)

3. Use smooth boards to kneel on.  (Make sure you don’t kneel on the very end and slip off onto ceiling sheeting.)

4. Staple sparingly – just enough to locate Silverline 0007 Insulation.

5. Make sure you don’t put Silverline 0007 Insulation over internal lights.  Keep at least 4” to 6” away from lights and internal fans and staple every few inches to prevent fan disturbing material.  Cut holes around down lights.
