How to Install

It can be easier to install and more flexible in its applications than traditional mineral wool slabs. It is rigid and can be cut to size to fit the cavity space or area where you want to install the insulation.

If you’re installing between rafters, follow these steps:

• Before cutting the boards measure the space between the rafters as sizes and spacings will vary slightly
• Using a sharp knife or fin-toothed saw cut the insulation boards to size
• Fit the insulation flush with the bottom of the rafters. Make sure that it doesn’t fill the entire depth and ensure they are installed tightly between the rafters
• Fill any left-over gaps with expanding foam sealant
