Method of Calculating Quantities of Foilboard
- Measure the area of the floor or wall.
- Add 5% to account for cutting, waste, and deduct window and door openings.
- If using 2.44m sheets, divide the area by 2.93 to determine the required number of sheets.
- If using 2.70m sheets, divide the area by 3.24 to determine the required number of sheets.
- Round up to the nearest full sheet.
- Place floor saddles on joists at approximately 600mm intervals and space them 200mm from the ends of the sheets.
- For retro-fits, Foilboard should span across the underside of joists and between bearers. Use three Foilboard fasteners per joist and tape all the joins. Joins do not necessarily need to be made on a joist.
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
- 3 Rolls of Green UV PVC Tape
