There are 2 Installation Options

1. Product Inside the Girts

• Attach the product using 5/16” staples at approximately 4” intervals.
• Staple the Reflectix® Reflective/Bubble/Bubble/Reflective, Staple Tab product to the outside of the top girt.
• Staple the product to the inside of the remaining girts.
• Tape the seams with a Reflectix® Foil Tape (goal is an air-tight, snug seam seal).
• For interior covering, attach 1”x 2” furring strips perpendicular to the girts through the insulation.
• Attach interior panel to the furring strips.
• This will provide a 1” (nominal) air space between the interior panel and the insulation and a 1 1/2” air space between the insulation and the outside panel.

2. Product Outside the Girts

• Staple the Reflectix® Reflective/Bubble/Bubble/Reflective, Staple Tab product to the outside of the top girt.

• Tape the seams with a Reflectix® Foil Tape (goal is an air-tight, snug seam seal).
• Attach outside panel.
• Attach interior panel to the inside of the girts (if specified).
