Installation Instructions

Floors

floors

Design No. S16a

  1. Lay AIR-CELL® over and running to the bearers and fix in position.
  2. Install joist as required.
  3. Fix AIR-CELL® to the underside of joists by stapling or screwing.
  4. Butt join and tape with 48mm reinforced foil tape.
  5. Leave 100mm of join untaped midway between joists to allow for any moisture to drain, or perforate with a sharp knife in areas where joins are not available.
  6. Alternatively, AIR-CELL® can be installed over the joists provided it doesn’t compromise the fixing of the chosen flooring, and the AIR-CELL® is allowed to sag at least 40mm between joists.

 

Segmental Method (Timber Frame)

  1. Cut AIR-CELL® into panels which are over sized by 50mm to fit between the framework in each direction.
  2. Insert panel at mid depth on the floor joists and fix to sides using staples or screws.
  3. Overlap joins by 50mm and tape with 48mm reinforced foil tape.

Note: This method will not provide a continuous vapour barrier.

 

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.
