This house wrap application is designed to protect the framing and the insulation
systems from moisture and condensation.
AYR-FOIL™ will give you all the functionality of
conventional house wraps with the added benefits of a radiant barrier.
AYR-FOIL™ reflective insulation and radiant barriers are vapor retarders. In northern
climates and regions where Heating Degree days are above 4000, we recommend using a
perforated radiant barrier (foil-foil, foil-Kraft). If you use our bubble foil insulation, do not seal
the joints.
INSTALLATION METHOD:
- Hold a roll of AYR-FOIL™ in position, at one corner of the building.
- Unroll the insulation along the exterior wall, nailing or stapling to studs or sheathing, to
top and bottom sills.
- Always pull the AYR-FOIL™ snug before fastening.
- Eliminates condensation problems.
- Wrap completely around the buildings, covering window and door openings, plates, sills
and corners. Cut an “X” in window and door openings. Pull the fabric inside, fold over
excess and fasten.
