Real Life Installation Details

Airstop Timbertex is stapled to underside of ceiling joists.

It is overlapped 100mm and sealed along the joint using Airstop Elasto adhesive tape.

Airstop Timbertex is sealed to primed perimeter block using Airstop Flex 75mm tape. Corners are tight to prevent later damage by slabs

A service cavity prevents the need for penetrations of the airtight layer.

Wire penetration of the Airstop Timbertex membrane is sealed airtight using Airstop Elasto 60mm tape.

Pipe penetration of the Airstop Timbertex membrane is sealed airtight using Airstop Elasto 60mm tape.

Finishing

Roof slabs are installed and skimmed.

External walls are skimmed. Skim coat is applied over the Airstop Flex 75mm tape creating continuity with the membrane in the ceiling.

Vaulted roof

Membrane to Underside of Rafters
Airstop Timbertex: The membrane is installed as airtight, vapour diffusion layer on the warm side of the building. The vcl is attached to the underside of rafters and inside of external studwork with a stapler or Isocell KB double-sided tape. Leave sufficient excess at perimeters so that the membrane can be sealed back to perimeter substrate without tension.

Elasto for overlaps: Tape should be affixed centrally along the seam and pressure applied by hand, or with a firm rubber roller.

Airstop Flex For perimeters: Cut membrane to desired length at perimeter. Apply the Airstop Flex tape 35mm to the membrane, and 40mm to the perimeter. Allowing a stress relief loop (a small excess of membrane which allows for movement and ensures it won’t be damaged by a trowel or slab), press or roll the tape firmly to the substrate by hand or using a firm rubber roller.

Uni Primer for dusty substrates: Set nozzle on can to spray desired width of primer. Hold can approximately 15-20 cm from surface and spray a light coating of primer. Allow the primer to dry before applying any tape. Typically, Uni Spray Primer will dry in under 10 minutes

Airstop Elasto for wire penetrations: Seal between the wire and the membrane on both sides of the wire using Airstop Elasto to create a sandwich. Where there are multiple wires passing through the same penetration it may be necessary to cork between the wires using Airstop Joint paste adhesive, which is non-corrosive to wires.

Airstop Elasto for Pipe penetrations: push membrane against pipe and cut out a circle on the inside perimeter of the pipe. Push the membrane back around the pipe and seal the membrane to the pipe using short pieces of Airstop Elasto tape in layers.
