Installation Instructions

Framed Walls

Design No. S10a

Framed Walls

Counter Battern Method

  1. Roll out Air-cell horizontally and fix to outside of frame.
  2. Cut AIR-CELL® carefully around doors, windows and other openings, so that it neatly abuts to frames.
  3. Butt join AIR-CELL® sheets and tape with a 48mm wide reinforced foil tape.
  4. Fix counter battens and exterior cladding.

 

Alternative Method

  1. Fix AIR-CELL® loosely to the outside of frame leaving flexibility for AIR-CELL® to be dished onto the wall cavity.
  2. Cut AIR-CELL® carefully around doors, windows and other openings, so that it neatly abuts to frames.
  3. Butt join AIR-CELL® sheets and tape with a 48mm wide reinforced foil tape.
  4. Provide for outer air space by either stapling AIR-CELL® to the side of the studs, or adhere the AIR-CELL® Spacer Biscuits to the outer face of the AIR-CELL®.
  5. Fix outer cladding.

Note: When flat sheet cladding is being installed over AIR-CELL®, burst the air bubbles with sharp knife or spiked roller so that the cladding can be fixed firmly against the frame.

 

Segmental Method (Timber Frame)

  1. Cut AIR-CELL® into panels which are oversized by 50mm to fit between the framework in each direction.
  2. Insert panels at mid depth in the frame and staple to sides, top and bottom of frame.
  3. Overlap any joins by 50mm and tape with 48mm reinforced foil tape.

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