:: Installation
General:
General:
- Because UltraTouch is compressed for shipping purposes, give it a quick shake prior
to installing. This will help accelerate the natural rebounding properties of the fibers. - Install UltraTouch between the studs by simply fitting each batt firmly into place. If
building codes require a vapor barrier, it should be applied towards the living area. - Cut or tear the insulation to fit snugly around obstructions such as plumbing, vent
lines, and electrical boxes. Use any left over pieces to fill small openings around
windows and doors. - For exterior walls, most climates will require either a 4-mil or 6-mil poly vapor
barrier to be installed. The question of vapor barriers is not answered by Bonded
Logic Inc. This issue depends entirely on your local climate and your local building
codes. Please contact your local building code office and inquire about the
recommendation for your area.
Walls:
- UltraTouch cotton batt's are a friction fit product. This means that they are slightly
oversized for standard wall cavities. To install, merely insert the batt between the
studding and tuck it in to ensure a tight fit. Approximate 30% of the batt's in each
bag of UltraTouch are perforated for easy tearing to fit “off-size” cavities.
Ceilings:
- UltraTouch cotton batt's can be layered to achieve higher R-Values in ceiling
applications. It is best to alternate the direction of the batt's in each layer.
UltraTouch can be secured to the joists using either wire or a mesh. This will ensure
the batt's remain in place until drywall has been installed.
Cutting:
- UltraTouch cotton batt's are essentially a
textile product and are therefore different to
cut then traditional insulating products. The
best way to cut UltraTouch with a non-
motorized tool is to use the Insul-Knife.
