Wall Insulation - Vertical Installation of Astro-Foil in Walls

(New construction)

Astro-Foil can be installed in sidewalls, either running from the top wall plate down to the foundation or running horizontally along the structure's frame, prior to the installation of the metal sheeting.

1. Measure the length to be applied, then cut a similar length of Astro-Foil. Add an inch or two to assure complete coverage at top and bottom.

2. Position first length at corner, wrapping around the corner pole edge and fasten with self-tapping screws or with aluminum foil tape, sufficient to hold in place.

3. Cut a second length and position next to the first length. Butt sides evenly together or slightly overlap. Tape all seams following the instructions under Taping Tips.

4. When securing bottom, staple insulation to the sill plate or a furring strip secured to the floor. To help reduce air infiltration, install Astro Sill SeaI(TM) under the sill plate.
