Installation Guidelines
Superglass TF Party Wall Roll is designed for easy and efficient installation. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:
- Preparation: Ensure the cavity between wall surfaces is clean and free of debris and mortar protrusions that might bridge the cavity.
- Measurement: Measure the cavity width and cut the insulation roll to approximately 5mm wider than the cavity to ensure a tight friction fit.
- Placement: Insert the insulation into the cavity, ensuring it fills the entire space without gaps. Semi-rigid nature helps it stay in place without additional fixings.
- Continuity: Maintain continuous insulation throughout the wall, paying special attention to corners and around services.
- Sealing: Seal any gaps around electrical outlets, pipes, or other penetrations with appropriate sealants to maintain acoustic performance.
- Completion: Close the wall according to your construction method, ensuring no additional mortar or debris enters the cavity.
Note: Always follow current building regulations and manufacturer guidelines when installing insulation products.
Performance Attributes
When properly installed, Superglass TF Party Wall Roll delivers superior performance across multiple criteria:
- Thermal Efficiency: Significantly reduces heat loss between properties, lowering energy costs and carbon emissions.
- Acoustic Control: Provides sound insulation that helps meet Part E of Building Regulations, ensuring privacy between adjoining properties.
- Fire Safety: Non-combustible material that contributes to overall fire safety of the building.
- Moisture Resistance: Hydrophobic treatment repels moisture, preventing loss of insulation value.
