Pro Residential, Post Frame and Metal Building Applications

Insert the Reflectix
®
half way up into the joist cavity and staple (at approximately 3” to 4” intervals)
the edge of the product to the side of the joist. The goal is to split the joist cavity into two
approximately equal enclosed air spaces. It is easiest to utilize the Reflectix
®
Reflective/Bubble/
Bubble/Reflective, Staple Tab product for this step.
• Continue with the second course of product at one end of a joist cavity (after the first course has been
installed) and secure the product “end” with staples to the band board. Proceed down the joists by
stapling each edge (or middle of the Reflective/Bubble/Bubble/Reflective 48” wide product) to the
face (bottom surface) of each joist. Staple the product at intervals of approximately 3” to 4”. At the
end of the product run, staple the Reflectix
®
to the band board.
• Seal seams with Reflectix
®
Foil Tape to create a vapor/moisture barrier.
