• Unroll the Reflectix® as you work and cut it to suitable lengths (8’ to 12’) with scissors or utility knife. • If a helper is available, rolling out longer lengths of product with one person stapling and the other holding the end of the product makes for a quicker installation. • Allow for proper ventilation. See note below on ventilation. • Install product perpendicular to the rafters with a 2” overlap on the seams (no taping required). Staple the product to the rafters at 2” to 3” intervals.
