INTELLO X PLUS
Application for insulation between rafters
1. Install membranes
Roll out the membrane and fasten it using galvanised staples that are at least 10 mm (3/8") wide by 8 mm (5/16") long at intervals of 10-15 cm (4" to 6") or, if blown-in insulation is to be installed, 5-10 cm (2" to 4"). Install the membrane leaving an additional 4 cm (1 5/8") overlap at 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) before taping; carry out an adhesion test, if necessary.

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 X 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 firmly to secure the adhesive bond 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 the tape firmly using the pro clima PRESSFIX to secure the adhesive bond.
To achieve airtightness, plaster over the masonry and sealing tape.

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