• Refer to the Reflectix® Webpage “DIY Attic”, option #2, “Rafter Cavity Method”. (Do not install according to option #1 “Underside of Rafter Method”. This option is only specified for Attic systems.) • Note: Fiberglass and sheetrock do not apply.
2. Wall - Masonry R-3.7 to R-6.1
• Refer to the Reflectix® Webpage “DIY Wall - Masonry”.
3. Wall - 2”x 4” R-6.1 (no fiberglass)
• Determine if studs are 16” or 24” on center (This will determine whether Reflectix® 16” or 24” product is utilized). • Place one corner edge of the Reflectix® in an upper corner of the stud cavity. At a point that splits the stud cavity; staple the product to the side of the stud (creating a 3/4” tab on the product). • Proceed “down”, stapling to the side of the stud every 2"- 3”. • Repeat procedure on opposite stud. • The Goal: Create two approximately equal continuous 1 3/4” air spaces on each side of the Reflectix® Insulation. • This application also provides a vapor/moisture barrier. • Finish wall interior with a panel or sheathing (Product is not specified as an interior wall covering).
4. Wall - 2”x 4” R-16 Total Assembly (R-3.9 and a Vapor Moisture Barrier for the Reflectix®)
