Installation Instruction pdf: DIY Basement Ceiling Revised 012021

• Inspect the installation area and make any needed repairs before installing the Reflectix® Reflective/Bubble product.
• Check the basement ceiling to determine whether the joists are 16” or 24” on-center.
• Begin at one end of the house and staple the product to the top of the band board or the subfloor (also terminating this course in this fashion).
• Insert the Reflectix® half way up into the joist cavity and staple (at approximately 3” to 4” intervals) the edge of the product to the side of the joist.
• The goal is to split the joist cavity into two approximately equal enclosed air spaces.
• Finish the ceiling with the specified panel or sheetrock.

Review These Important Safety Guidelines Prior to Installation:

• ALWAYS check local building codes before installing Reflectix®.
• ALWAYS check the area you are insulating and make any needed repairs. Any worn wiring should be replaced before you begin installing Reflectix®.
• ALWAYS make sure work areas are well ventilated and well lighted.
• ALWAYS use eye protection when operating a staple gun.
• ALWAYS use caution and common sense when using a staple gun. Be aware of electrical wiring locations. Stapling into a wire can cause severe shock or death. NEVER staple into electrical wiring.
• ALWAYS be careful when working with large pieces of Reflectix® on windy days.
• When installing Reflectix® on bright sunny days, it is best to wear sun glasses.
• Do not work in areas such as attics when temperatures are too hot.
• Please Note: The intention of these Installation Instructions and 3-D renderings are for the sole purpose of illustrating the correct location and relative position of the Reflectix® products in specific building assemblies. The correct construction methods and techniques are the responsibility of the installer or contractor. The methods outlined are recommendations on location of the Reflectix® products as a guideline.
