Preparation
Use netting on scaffolding to reduce the amount of polystyrene blowing about in the wind. We highly recommend that you try to use a hot knife or hot wire cutters to minimise the number of polystyrene offcuts. However, you can still use a standard knife should you choose. Ideally, you should cut the EPS insulation boards within a covered area as this reduces offcuts blowing around.
EPS Insulation Application
EPS insulation boards should always be installed with accordance with the manufacturer’s installation guidelines. This should cover design and all aspects of the application of the insulation.
- Push insulation gently between rafters so it sits snugly.
- It should friction-fit without needing extra fixings.
EPS Insulation Storage
Keep in a dry place, in the original packaging. Avoid excess heat or UV light exposure.
