Installation Instructions:• Inspect the crawl space and make any needed repairs before installing the Reflectix® Reflective/Bubble product. • Check the crawl space to determine whether the floor joists are 16” or 24” on-center. • Determine if there are water pipes and heating ducts which hang below the floor joists. They will need to be insulated. Reflectix® Pipe Wrap and Duct Insulations are designed specifically for this use. There is no need to wrap water pipes or duct work that fall between floor joists. Reflectix® will provide adequate insulating without extra wrapping. • Start at the end of the house and face staple to the bottom of the floor joists. Seal seams with Reflectix® Foil Tape to create a vapor barrier. At the end, staple up to the sub-floor or band board. • Note: Existing mass insulation in the joist cavities must be dry prior to installing the Reflectix® product.
