TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION
A wood saw, tape measure & a balancing plank (to prevent ceiling damage).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Measure the distance between the timber roof trusses.
  2. Cut the Aerolite while still in the bag to the correct width to snugly fit the space between the roof trusses.
  3. Roll out the Aerolite between the roof trusses on top of the ceiling.
  4. It is advisable to lay the Aerolite underneath any wiring and to cut around any down lights to prevent overheating of light fitting.
  5. Wrap off-cuts around pipes to prevent them freezing in winter.
WARNING: Be careful not to step onto the ceiling board as you may damage the board or fall through the ceiling.
HANDLING & STORAGE
