UltraTouch Installation


GENERAL

  1. Because UltraTouch is compressed for shipping purposes, give it a quick shake prior to installing. This will help accelerate the natural rebounding properties of the fibers.
  2. Install UltraTouch between the studs by simply fitting each batt firmly into place. If building codes require a vapor barrier, it should be applied towards the living area.
  3. Cut or tear the insulation to fit snugly around obstructions such as plumbing, vent lines, and electrical boxes. Use any left over pieces to fill small openings around windows and doors.
  4. For exterior walls, most climates will require either a 4-mil or 6-mil poly vapor barrier to be installed. The question of vapor barriers is not answered by Bonded Logic Inc. This issue depends entirely on your local climate and your local building codes. Please contact your local building code office and inquire about the recomendation for your area.
WALLS

UltraTouch cotton batt's are a friction fit product. This means that they are slightly oversized for standard wall cavities. To install, merely insert the batt between the studding and tuck it in to ensure a tight fit. Approximate 30% of the batt's in each bag of UltraTouch are perforated for easy tearing to fit “off-size” cavities.

CEILINGS

UltraTouch cotton batt's can be layered to achieve higher R-Values in ceiling applications. It is best to alternate the direction of the batt's in each layer. UltraTouch can be secured to the joists using either wire or a mesh. This will ensure the batt's remain in place until drywall has been installed.
