Description
Foilboard Green Joining Tape
Foilboard offers a range of tape options for sealing all joins. The Green PVC tape is specifically designed with a high-temperature adhesive and UV light resistance, ensuring it will never deteriorate throughout the lifespan of the installation. This tape is recommended when the Foilboard® is not meant to be exposed. Each roll measures 48mm in width and spans 66m in length.
In addition to the tape, Foilboard Australia Pty Ltd manufactures a variety of fixing accessories that are tailored to suit a wide range of construction applications. Whether it involves timber or steel frame construction, underfloor applications, or commercial systems, Foilboard® provides the right fixings to accommodate all projects.
Method of Calculating Quantities of Foilboard
- Measure Floor or Wall area.
- Add 5% to area to allow for cutting and waste, deduct window and door openings.
- If using 2.44m sheets divide the area by 2.93 to give the number of sheets required.
- If using 2.70m sheets divide the area by 3.24 to give the number of sheets required.
- Round up to the next full sheet.
- Floor saddles should be on joists at approx 600mm centres and spaced at 200mm from sheet ends.
- For retro-fits Foilboard should span across the underside of joists and between bearers using three Foilboard fasteners per joist. Joins do not need to be made on a joist and you should tape all joins.
- Generally 1 bag of saddles is required for every 45-50m2 and 1 Role of Green Tape will be required for every 100m2. For retro-fits you will generally require 1 bag of Foilboard Fasteners and 1 roll of Green Tape for every 15-20 sheets, for Aluminium tape you will require one roll for every 10-12 sheets approx. Flexifastners should be used for all sheets 25mm or thicker and you will require 1 bag of 200 fastners for every 15-20 sheets. Or for sheets over 25mm in thickness you can order the plastic plates and supply your own fixing nails or screws. Spacers for brick work you will require 8-10 spacers per m2
Residential Wall
For example, an area of 130m2 (residential wall – timber/steel frame excluding windows) will require;
- 45 sheets of Foilboard® Insulation Panel (2440mm x 1200mm, 2.93m2 per sheet)
- 3 bags of fasteners (Standard or Ultra)
- 3 Rolls of Green UV PVC Tape
Underfloor Area
For traditional underfloor applications using timber joists at 450mm centres (130m2);
- 45 sheets of Foilboard® Insulation Panel (2440mm x 1200mm, 2.93m2 per sheet)
- 3 bags of Foilboard® Floor Saddles
