Measure the ceiling area Calculate the ceiling area using 22.80m² coverage per roll and allow for appropriate wastage.
2
Fit the insulation closely Fit the 50mm roll closely between or over joists, keeping adjacent sections together to minimise gaps.
3
Maintain the full thickness Keep the roll at its intended thickness and avoid unnecessary compression during installation.
