THERMAL PROPERTIES
|
Contributes to indoor comfort and life long energy savings by reducing heat loss/gain
due to the inherent thermal insulation properties.
A dry wall system correctly designed and insulated will offer the same or better
thermal properties than a conventional brick & mortar construction.
|
ACOUSTIC PROPERTIES
|
Offers exceptional acoustic properties & enhances indoor environmental quality
by absorption of noise. Isover insulation reduces sound transmission to and from
a room or building.
A dry wall system correctly designed and insulated will offer the same or better
acoustical properties than a conventional brick & mortar construction.
|
APPLICATIONS
|
- Steel frame buildings
- Timber frame structures
- Dry wall systems
- Designed for use in cavity walls but may effectively be used on top of ceilings,
along the roofline, or within masonry wall cavities
|
DURABILITY
|
- Odourless, inert and fully compatible with all standard building materials &
components.
- Will not promote corrosion of steel, copper or aluminium
- Will not sustain vermin

TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION
|
|
Batts are designed around the frame/stud system for ease of installation, therefore,
minimal tools are required. A sharp knife/blade will come in handy for off cuts
and for slitting batts to fit over piping and conduits.
|
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
1. Open packaging allowing space for the initial immediate recovery of compressed
product.
2. Push individual batts firmly into the cavity space with glass tissue facing on
the exposed side.
3. Use a sharp knife to slit the Cavitybatt to encapsulate piping/conduits.
4. Use a sharp knife to cut batt around any plug points.
5. Make sure that there are no gaps, which will cause thermal and noise leakage.
|
HANDLING & STORAGE
|
|
Store product undercover, and in dry conditions. Store flat. Handle with care, especially
on the edges and corners, which can be damaged if subject to sharp or heavy impact.
Do not apply excessive pressure, for example by standing or sitting on the product,
as permanent damage may be caused.
|
ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATION
|
|
