MATERIAL
Superior type 6 flame retardant aluminum insulation is a five layer product, composed of four sheets of flame resistant Kraft paper, each faced on one side with aluminum foil and one sheet of aluminum foil without paper backing.

A higher insulation value and a more pleasing appearance will be achieved by adding Superior Factory Type 2 flame retardant cap sheet face stapled to the bottom of the rafters.

INSTALLATION
Grasp blanket by flange with printed side down, position blanket flush against perlin/plate at end of bay, leave gap ¾" to 1" between bottom of flange and face of rafters/truss (when installed between 2"x4" roof rafters install ½" from of rafter), begin stapling material approx. 6" o.c. for full length of blanket. Hand held stapler is suggested with a minimum of 3/8" staple.

Grasp free flange and pull it taut towards the rafter/truss on right. Line bottom of flange up even with bottom of facing of rafter/truss. Be sure material is pulled evenly to prevent cross buckles and wrinkles. Finish by stapling full length approx. 6" o.c.

WARNING
Do not insulate under a wet roof deck. Insulating under a wet roof may cause condensation and damage to insulation.

NOTE
All Superior Aluminum products incorporate the use of a special flame resistant paper manufactured to meet the National Bureau of Standards Voluntary Products Standard PS 46-71 for flame resistant paper. We use a water base non-flammable adhesive to bond the aluminum to the flame resistant paper.

When tested by the ASTM-84 flame spread test, all Superior products have achieved a flame spread of 25 or less.

Superior Aluminum Insulation products meet the State of California Quality Standards.
