Application for insulation between rafters

1. Install membranes
Roll out the membrane and fasten it using galvanised staples with a width of at least 10 mm (3/8") and a length of 8 mm (5/16") at intervals of 10-15 cm (4" to 6") (or 5-10 cm (2" to 4") in the case of blown-in insulation). Install the membrane to stop approx. 4 cm (1 5/8") short of adjacent building components so that an airtight bond can be applied here subsequently.

3. Overlap the membranes
Allow for an overlap of approx. 10 cm (4") between the membranes. The marking that is printed onto the membrane will serve as a guide here.

4. Clean the subsurface
Clean the subsurface (dry and free of dust, silicone and grease) and carry out an adhesion test, if necessary.

5a. Stick the overlaps
Centre the TESCON VANA system adhesive tape on the overlap and gradually stick it in place, ensuring that there are no folds or tension.

5b. Rub the adhesive joint firmly
Rub tape firmly into place using the pro clima PRESSFIX. Ensure that there is sufficient resistance pressure.

6. Sealing to smooth, non-mineral subsurfaces
… (e.g. knee walls made of wood-based panels) should also be implemented using TESCON VANA system adhesive tape.

7. Sealing to rough or mineral subsurfaces
Clean the subsurface. Apply a line of ORCON F system adhesive of at least d = 5 mm (3/16"), or more in the case of very rough subsurfaces if necessary.
Place INTELLO onto the adhesive bed, leaving slack to allow for expansion. Do not press the adhesive completely flat.

8a. Alternative: Sealing to mineral subsurfaces
Position ORCON MULTIBOND on the subsurface, roll it out and gradually stick it to the subsurface. Gradually remove the release film.

8b. Stick the membrane / Rub the joint firmly
Apply the membrane onto the adhesive strip, leaving slack for expansion so as to allow for relative motion between components. Rub tape firmly into place using the pro clima PRESSFIX. Ensure that there is sufficient resistance pressure.

9. Sealing to unplastered subsurfaces
Put the vapour check in place. Leave slack for expansion so as to allow for relative motion between components.
Remove all release films from CONTEGA SOLIDO SL or CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ. Centre the tape and gradually stick it in place. Rub tape firmly into place using the pro clima PRESSFIX.

10a. Joints to cables
Place a KAFLEX cable grommet over the cable and stick to the membrane. The cable grommets are self-adhesive.
The range includes:
- KAFLEX mono (see picture)
- KAFLEX duo - for 2 cables
- KAFLEX multi - up to 16 cables
- KAFLEX post - for retrofit installation

10b. Joints to pipes
Place a ROFLEX pipe grommet over the pipe and stick to the membrane using TESCON VANA.
The range includes:
- ROFLEX 20 - for pipes, Ø 15-30 mm
- ROFLEX 20 multi - ... up to 9 conduits
- ROFLEX 30 - 300 - for Ø 30-320 mm

11. Corner bonding
Guide TESCON PROFECT prefolded corner sealing tape into the corner on the release film and stick the first independent adhesive strip. Then remove the release film and stick the second independent adhesive strip.

16. Laths
Apply laths (e ≤ 50 cm; 1' 8") to support the weight of the insulation material.

17. Quality assurance
It is recommended that airtightness should be checked using a blower door test.
