Installation Instructions Cont.
Roof Application: Start by using a double-sided adhesive tape around the roof perimeter or fold a small section of the material back over
and secure to the eave with a fastener every 6-12 inches. It is important to have an airspace between the roof decking and the Low-E. This
is achieved by draping the Low-E, allowing it to sag approx. 3/4 "-1"
NOTE: If any defective or damaged material is encountered simply cut out the bad section and splice the remaining material together.
All splices made on wall sections must be placed behind the girts. This will conceal the splices and help to maintain a completely uniform
appearance.
To do this, go to the girts immediately above and below the defective or damaged material and cut out from these lines. This will allow you to
make your splice behind the girt.
Seams that are exposed to conditioned space must be taped with Low-E Seam tape. This product should not be left exposed in a ceiling that is
10’ high or less. Consult your local building/fire codes to ensure that the proper material is used if this situation does occur. This product should
not be overlapped. Never interfere with the design ventilation of the building when installing any form of insulation. Never expose any insulation
to any fire source. Insulation should be stored in a protected area. Do not let insulation come in contact with wet or damp concrete at any time.
Any tears or punctures in the insulation should be repaired by the appropriate Low-E Seam tape.
Splicing Low-E insulation:
Place double sided tape on last purlin covered by Low-E insulation to secure end. Trim end where it is concealed by purlin. Place double
sided tape on the top of the Low-E insulation and lay new section on the top of the existing one. Procedure for making a splice: 1. Cut a
piece from another roll a little larger than the area to be removed. Overlay the ends of the two pieces to be spliced together. 2. Cut through
the two pieces using a straight edge, to create a common edge. 3. Butt the two edges tight together. 4. Tape the seam on both sides using the
manufacturer provided aluminum seam tape. WHEN APPLYING LOW-E SEAM TAPE BE SURE TO CUT THE TAPE. DO NOT RIP OR
TEAR. RIPPING OR TEARING CAN NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE ADHESIVE. WHEN APPLYING LOW-E SEAM TAPE, BE SURE
TO USE THE MANUFACTURER SUPPLIED SQUEEGEE TO ENSURE THE TAPE IS PROPERLY ADHERED. WHEN USING TAPE
TO MAKE REPAIRS RUN TAPE PARALLEL WITH THE INSULATION. ***NEVER RUN TAPE AT AN ANGLE. NOTE: LOW-E seam
tape can also be used as a patch material to cover up and repair any cracks or tears in the LOW-E. Please refer to the above instructions for the
application of LOW-E seam tape. NOTE: When installing above a framed opening i.e. (a dock door) be sure to wrap the material around the
door header to the inside of the building. The door installers can then trim any excess LOW-E out of the way. This procedure will ensure that
there will not be a gap in the insulation after the door is installed.
NOTE: If any defective or damaged material is encountered, simply cut out the bad section and splice the remaining material together. Local
building codes shall be followed to ensure proper installation. The thermal performance of Low-E Insulation in these installations are based on
the maintenance of a totally enclosed air space adjacent to the low emittance surface(s). Thermal values for this product are defined by typical
installations and are obtained in accordance to accepted test methods and are subject to manufacturing variations. They are supplied as a technical
service and are subject to change without notice. These products should never have a core edge exposed. Seams that are exposed to conditioned
space must be taped with Low-E Seam tape. No insulation products should be left exposed in a ceiling that is 10’ high or less. Add Gypsum
board or another type of fire wall. Consult your local building/fire codes to ensure that the proper material is used if this situation does occur.
These products should not be overlapped. Never interfere with the design ventilation of the building when installing any form of insulation.
Never expose any insulation to any fire source. Insulation shall be stored in a protected area. Do not let insulation come in contact with wet or
damp concrete at any time.
**IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO LINE THE SEAMS UP STRAIGHT IN
ALL APPLICATIONS BEFORE YOU SECURE THE INSULATION.
PLEASE DO NOT WALK ON INSULATION WHEN IT IS CUT BEFORE INSTALLATION.
These products should never have a core edge exposed. Seams that are exposed to conditioned space must be taped with Low-E Seam tape.
