Aerolite Installation

Proper installation of Aerolite insulation is crucial to ensure optimal thermal and acoustic performance. Whether you’re insulating a new building or upgrading an existing structure, Aerolite is designed for straightforward installation in ceilings, walls, and roofing systems. While DIY installation is possible for experienced individuals, professional installation is recommended to guarantee the best results.

Step-by-Step Aerolite Installation Process

1. Preparation

• Measure the Area: Calculate the total area requiring insulation to determine how many rolls of Aerolite you’ll need.
• Choose the Thickness: Select the appropriate Aerolite thickness based on your insulation needs and available space.
• Gather Tools and Safety Gear: Have a utility knife, measuring tape, straight edge, and polystyrene-friendly adhesive ready. Always wear gloves, a mask, and goggles for protection.

2. Inspect the Installation Area

• Check the roof or ceiling structure for any damage, leaks, or obstructions. Repair any issues before proceeding.
• Ensure the space is clean and free of debris to allow for a smooth installation.

3. Install Aerolite in Ceilings

• Step 1: Lay Out the Rolls
  Unroll Aerolite insulation and let it expand to its full thickness. Cut the insulation to fit snugly between the ceiling joists or trusses.
• Step 2: Position the Insulation
  Place the Aerolite directly onto the ceiling boards or between the joists. Ensure there are no gaps or overlaps, as this can reduce efficiency.
• Step 3: Secure the Insulation
  Use staples, nails, or straps to hold the insulation in place if needed, especially in sloped areas.

4. Install Aerolite in Walls

• For wall applications, Aerolite can be inserted into wall cavities before the installation of drywall or cladding. Ensure the insulation fits tightly without compressing it, as compressed insulation reduces its effectiveness.

5. Seal Gaps and Joints

• Use a filler or caulking material to seal any gaps between the insulation sheets or around obstacles like vents and pipes. This ensures an airtight fit for maximum thermal resistance.

6. Finish the Installation

• For exposed installations, cover the Aerolite with a breathable membrane to protect it from dust and moisture. For ceilings, reinstall ceiling boards or panels to complete the look.

Tips for Effective Installation

• Maintain Proper Ventilation: While installing Aerolite, ensure proper ventilation in the roof space to prevent condensation build-up.
• Avoid Compression: Always allow the insulation to expand fully, as compression reduces its thermal and acoustic performance.
• Cut Cleanly: Use a sharp utility knife to cut the insulation to the desired size, ensuring clean edges for a snug fit.
• Leave Clearance Around Heat Sources: Maintain a safe distance from heat sources like chimney flues or recessed lights to prevent overheating.
