3. Wall - 2”x 4” R-6.1 (no fiberglass)
• Determine if studs are 16” or 24” on center (This will determine whether
Reflectix
®
16” or 24” product is utilized).
• Place one corner edge of the Reflectix
®
in an upper corner of the stud cavity.
At a point that splits the stud cavity; staple the product to the side of the
stud (creating a 3/4” tab on the product).
• Proceed “down”, stapling to the side of the stud every 2”- 3”.
• Repeat procedure on opposite stud.
• The Goal: Create two approximately equal continuous 1 3/4” air spaces on each side of the Reflectix
®
Insulation.
• This application also provides a vapor/moisture barrier.
• Finish wall interior with a panel or sheathing (Product is not specified as an interior wall covering).
