PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01
PREPARATION
A.
Verify that adjacent materials are dry and ready to receive insulation.
B.
Close off openings in areas to receive loose insulation to permanently
prevent escape of insulation.
3.02
INSTALLATION
A.
Comply with manufacturers printed instructions for the particular
conditions of installation in each case. If printed instructions are not available or
do not apply to the project conditions, consult the manufacturers technical
representative for specific recommendations before proceeding with the work.
B.
Extend insulation full thickness over entire surface to be insulated. Apply
a single layer of insulation of the required thickness, unless otherwise indicated or
required to make up the total thickness. Cut and fit tightly around obstructions,
and fill voids with insulation.
1.
Do not place insulation over, or within 3 inches of
recessed lighting fixtures.
C.
Install insulation with factory applied barrier membrane facing the warm
side of building spaces. Tape ruptures in barrier membrane.
1.
Install reflective barrier membrane insulation with 3/4
inch air space in front of reflective barrier membrane wherever possible.
D.
Install separate polyethylene sheeting vapor barrier where shown, in
accordance with manufacturers printed instructions. Lap all seams and joints a
minimum of 6 inches.
E.
Place granular insulation into spaces and onto surfaces by pouring. Do
not allow insulation in vertical spaces to free fall more than 2 stories or 20 feet.
Screed horizontal applications to uniform thicknesses indicated.
F.
Place loose fiber insulation into spaces and onto surfaces, either by
pouring or by machine-blowing. Level horizontal applications to uniform
thickness as indicated, firmly settled to uniform density, but not excessively
compressed.
