INSTALLATION
ThermaFlex® is specially designed to friction fit between standard stud and joist spacings of 450mm and 600mm centres. It is easy and simple to install:
- Insert board flush against one side of the stud or joist, compress the other edge and ease the board into position.
- Should difficulty be encountered with non-standard stud and joist spacings, running a sharp knife down one of the longitudinal grooves can easily reduce the board width.
- ThermaFlex® eliminates wastage as the boards can be easily cut to length with a sharp knife or handsaw to fit between noggings. Off-cuts can be used for non-standard spacings.
- Where it is necessary to allow for electrical wiring or plumbing, holes can be easily cut into the board with a sharp knife.
- Electrical cables: All electrical cables must be prevented from physical contact with Thermaflex. Ensure all cables are isolated by wrapping the cable in polyester tape.
- If fitting around lights or other electrical fittings leave 150mm clearance.
