Extruded Polystyrene Sheet Supplier in delhi
As more sheathing insulating options are made available, builders are constantly looking for easier and better installation methods. Traditionally following ongoing trends in the installation of residential building systems, local code changes and new product introductions challenge builders to build better homes that offer greater resistance, Extruded Polystyrene Sheet Supplier in Delhi products are lightweight, versatile and easy to install on residential walls as shown in the following step-by-step guide:
The first step is to mark the extruded polystyrene foam insulation board by dragging the hook of a measuring tape along the surface of the plastic insulation board, while holding the other end of the tape to the desired measurement. This makes a small mark to follow while cutting.
Plastic insulation board should be placed on a flat, sturdy surface for ease and safety of cutting. A pair of horses is usually sufficient for waist-high work. Following the mark left by the tape edge, a deep impression should be made with the knife down (without cutting) against the board. Once the entire measured line is scored, the piece is simply snapped onto the edge of the work surface. It is best to use a utility knife and straight edge to trim XPS foam insulation board so that irregular wall angles, projections, or contours of wall surfaces are less than the width or height of the board.
Code-acceptable corner bracing (such as diagonal metal strapping, lay-in wood, or wood structural sheathing) is then installed. If wood sheathing is used as a structural component, the building may be covered with extruded polystyrene foam insulation boards to provide complete wall insulation.
XPS foam insulation boards that are 1.2 m (4 ft) wide should be installed vertically with long joints and bearing directly onto the framing members. Horizontal joints should be minimized between boards, unless the joints are placed directly on top of a horizontal framing member. Taping extruded polystyrene foam insulation board joints seal them against air infiltration for improved energy efficiency.
