2. Wall – Masonry R-3.7 and R-7.0

Refer to the Reflectix® Webpage “DIY Wall – Masonry”.

3. Wall – 2”x 4” R-6.6 (no fiberglass)

Determine if studs are 16” or 24” on center (This will determine whether Reflectix® 16” or 24” product is utilized).
Place one corner edge of the Reflectix® in an upper corner of the stud cavity. At a point that splits the stud cavity; staple the product to the side of the stud (creating a 3/4” tab on the product).
Proceed “down”, stapling to the side of the stud every 2″- 3”.
Repeat procedure on opposite stud.
The Goal: Create two approximately equal continuous 1 3/4” air spaces on each side of the Reflectix® Insulation.
This application also provides a vapor/moisture barrier.
Finish wall interior with a panel or sheathing (Product is not specified as an interior wall covering).

4. Wall – 2”x 4” R-14 Total Assembly

(R-3.9 and a Vapor Moisture Barrier for the Reflectix®)
