Pro Residential, Post Frame and Metal Building Applications

3. R-6.1 (2”x 2” furring with 2 air spaces)
• Attach 2”x 2” (nominal) furring strips vertically directly over the 2 x 4 studs (behind the sheetrock) on
the wall.
• It is easiest to utilize the Staple Tab (16” or 24” depending on stud spacing) Reflectix
®
Reflective/
Bubble product, although the standard edge product will also provide the same level of benefit.
• Cut the Reflectix
®
Insulation (with scissors or a utility knife) into lengths equal to the height of the
wall (floor to ceiling).
• Staple the product to the side of the furring strip at a dept of 3/4” - the goal is to split the cavity (in
two) into approximately equal air spaces.
• The two air spaces created are - one between the Reflectix
®
Insulation and the previously existing
wall and the other between the new interior panel and the Reflectix
®
Insulation.
• Finish with interior panel (or sheetrock) of choice.
