Reflective/Woven Fabric Radiant Barrier Installation Instructions: (There are 2 options) 1. Underside of Rafter Method (depicted in illustration) • Check the attic area and make any needed repairs before installing Reflectix®. • 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.
