Hints and Tips:
- * Maurice, ecoMaster’s Technical Director, talks about the pros and cons of all the types of underfloor insulation and how to get the best results in the ecoMaster Underfloor Insulation Masterclass. It's free!
- * We recommend polyester insulation is stapled to the joists at 100-150 mm intervals to ensure it is secure and will not sag over time.
- * For the best and long lasting result, make sure the insulation staples being used are galvanised.
- * T50 Staples were the staples of choice of the ecoMaster installation crews.
- * How many staples do you need? You will need about 340 staples per pack of Value Poly Underfloor Insulation. That's about 47 staples per sq metre.
- * Use a good quality stapler. Trade Quality Stapler Rental is available if you live in Victoria.
