Installation Instructions

Ceilings

Timber Framed Roofs (Retrofit)

1. Ensure that all 240V power supply to the premises is switched off at the main power board.
2. Place polyester batts or similar between joists along the perimeter of the ceiling so that the air space between AIR-CELL^® and ceiling will be filled.
3. Roll out AIR-CELL^® over top of ceiling joists, cutting neatly around penetrations. Leave 50mm clearance around heat producing flues or light fittings, and insert a collar of AIR-CELL^® (clearance should be 200mm for a halogen lamp, or install a suitable fire resistant enclosure to lamp. Alternatively, check clearance with the lighting supplier).
4. Fix in position by taping or stapling. Plastic non-conductive staples are recommended.
5. Overlap joins by 100mm and secure by taping or stapling.
6. Ensure that electrical cabling is in safe condition and there is no potential for contact with live wiring.

Steel or Timber Truss Roofs

1. Screw or staple AIR-CELL^® to the underside of the truss, running perpendicular to the frame.
2. Ensure AIR-CELL^® is taut, with minimal sag.
3. Butt and tape joins with 48mm reinforced foil tape.
4. Leave 50mm clearance around heat producing flues or light fittings.
5. Fix ceiling channels by screwing through AIR-CELL^® to the truss.
6. Fix plasterboard ceiling to manufacturers instructions

 

These instructions are guidelines only and should be interpreted with consideration for the specific building design. This installation of AIR-CELL^® should be in conformance with the applicable clauses from AS 3999 and AS/NZS 4200.2 unless otherwise specified.

AIR-CELL^® can be damaged by intense heat above 135˚ C and contact with sparks and flame from blow torches, welders, cutting tools, etc. must be avoided.

The installer must make due provision for safety when installing AIR-CELL^® in any application.

 

Handling and Storage
AIR-CELL^® Insulation products must be transported in its protective packaging and kept clean and dry. Standing rolls on end reduces risk of damage should moisture be present in the packaging. Surfaces must be kept free of contaminants such as dust and grease, and must not be stored with foil surfaces in contact with alkaline materials i.e. wet cement, lime, etc.
