d) Bring banding across the lower face of the insulation, keeping banding parallel to underside of floor
and fix banding with staple through the fold-down. Check fixed by giving light tug (double staple if
required)
e) Run banding down below compressed fold-down and apply another staple through band as a check
placement
f)
Acceptable Installation:
Square fit of batt
Diag 2.2 V1
Fold down
Diag 2.3 V1
g) Unacceptable Installation:
Diag 2.1 V1
h) Continue banding around bottom of joist and repeat from a)
i) Banding can be fixed on a continuous run perpendicular to joist, or as single joist to joist
placements.
STEP 4
Always make sure joins have good friction fits, with a uniform placement of insulation flush to the underside of the
floor, and strapping applied flush to the underside of the insulation. Refer relevant standard for reaching tight
locations.
STEP 5
Once you have completed your installation, including any internal walls, fix the label of the Earthwool glasswool
insulation outer wrapper – showing the product details and thermal resistance rating – where it can be easily seen
from the entrance access-way for customer verification and retained for certification.
It is recommended that once completed another team member checks the work to ensure it has been installed
according to relevant standards.
