Tools needed for installation:

Wooden plank to prevent damage to the ceiling, tape measure and wood saw.

Installation Instructions:

  1. Use the wooden plank to move around in the ceiling. No not step onto the ceiling boaard, as this will damage the board or you may fall through the ceiling.
  2. Measure the distance between rood trusses with the measuring tape.
  3. Whilst Flexiwool is still in its wrapping cut the product to the measured width with the wood saw, to fit between the trusses.
  4. Now roll out the Flexiwool between the roof trusses, onto your ceiling board. Flexiwool should run underneath writing. To prevent overheating of light fittings, cut around any down lights.
  5. To prevent pipes freezing in winter, use off-cuts to wrap around the pipes.
