| | PART 3 | EXECUTION |
| |
| | 3.1 | EXAMINATION |
| |
| | | A. | Examination: Prior to work of this section, carefully inspect installed work of other trades and verify that such work is complete to point where installation of specified retention fabric and specified insulation products may be properly installed in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Appropriate building inspections must be completed prior to installation. |
| |
| | 3.2 | PREPARATION |
| |
| | | A. | Clean surfaces in accordance with manufacturers (suppliers) recommendations. |
| | ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete the next paragraph if the project is not Steel Framed |
| |
| | | B. | Remove all oil & grease from exposed face of steel studs and tracks. |
| |
| | 3.3 | INSTALLATION |
| | ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete the next paragraph if the project is not Steel Framed |
| |
| | | A. | Steel Framed Construction: Install retention fabric with adhesive on tracks and studs. Blow insulation into voids. |
| | ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete the next paragraph if the project is not Wood Framed |
| |
| | | B. | Wood framed Construction: Install net or fabric with staples approximately 1 inch (25mm) apart, or with adhesive. Blow insulation into voids. |
| |
| | | C. | Insulation Installation: |
| | | | 1. | Install products in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. |
| | | | 2. | Install loose insulation by machine-blowing into spaces and closed cavities as indicated. Level horizontal applications to uniform thickness indicated, firmly installed to uniform density, but not excessively compressed. |
| | | | 3. | Insulate full thickness in cavities to be insulated. Fit tightly around obstructions, fill voids. Cover penetrations with insulation. Completely fill cavity. |
| | | | 4. | Where required, install separate vapor retarder to warm side of building (exterior walls) as indicated on Drawings, or as required by local building codes. Completely seal each wall area to surrounding construction. Install so that completed installation is vapor tight. |
| | | | 5. | Install Insulation with a minimum density of 1.8 to 2.3 pounds per cubic foot (28.8 to 36.8 kg/ cubic meter) for maximum thermal value. Actual required density is based on specific materials and R-value. Material should initially bulge 1/2 inch (13mm) to 1 inch (25mm) past studs to insure proper density. Roll back material flush to studs. Applications are subject to density check. See manufactures coverage chart on bags of insulation. |
| |
| | 3.4 | FIELD QUALITY CONTROL |
| |
| | | A. | Installation Compliance: Provide Owner with a written statement that insulation has been installed in accordance with specifications. |
| |
| | 3.5 | CLEANING |
