Construction diagrams within this report provide additional details based on various applications. Consult www.rmax.com for more information and complete literature, including, but not limited to, data sheets, SDS, Sales Policy, etc. General Installation Instructions: • Special training and/or certification is not required. This product is designed for an easy install for both DIYs and professional contractors. • Before beginning installation, all surfaces shall be clean and free of irregularities that will affect the placement or performance of the insulation, including, but not limited to, dirt, debris, miscellaneous fasteners or warped, defective or otherwise damaged framing. • Installations utilizing Thermasheath must be separated from the interior side of the building by a suitable thermal barrier or ignition barrier when required. Refer to the Local Building Official for general exceptions and specific governing codes and requirements. Consult Rmax for special testing and exceptions on thicknesses of 1" or less. • All materials installed over Thermasheath (thermal barrier, ignition barrier, furring strips, interior finishes, veneers, roof systems, etc.), must be mechanically attached through the insulation to the framing/structure according to the building code. Walls and Ceilings: • Attach insulation boards to framing or other finished surface. o Starting at one corner/edge, install boards continuously and tightly abutted to cover entire surface. o Where insulation is cut to accommodate penetrations, voids and gapping should be minimized. o When using compatible adhesives to secure boards, apply the adhesive to the finished surface. Press/hold the board firmly until adhesive is set. Refer to adhesive manufacturer for application recommendations and proper installation techniques. o When using mechanical fasteners to secure boards, use fasteners with sufficient length to penetrate framing or other finished surface (minimum %" into wood or minimum 29/64" into steel). Use a minimum of 8 fasteners, spaced evenly throughout the board. o Where multiple rows or layers of insulation exist, stagger joints. • When Thermasheath is being used as the vapor retarder, water-resistive barrier (WRB) and/or the air barrier, the following measures should be taken to ensure a complete barrier: o All insulation board joints, as well as, any breaks or other damage to the face in the insulation shall be sealed with a pressure sensitive tape, such as Rmax R-SEAL 3000 or R-SEAL Construction Tape. oAll perimeter edges,transitions and fenestration shall be sealed to the exterior face of the Thermasheath with appropriate flashing, including, but not limited to, exposed foam edges, wall to floor and wall to roof transitions, windows, doors, etc. Rmax• 13524 Welch Road • Dallas,TX 75244• (972)387-4500• Fax(972)387-4673•www.rmax.com • Email rmax@rmax.com ESR-1864 Supplement I Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 8 of 23 9a MINX Insulation Instructions For the Seal and Insulate with ENERGY STAR® program o All penetrations made through the exterior plane of the WRB and/or air barrier shall be sealed using tape, flashing, caulk or other water/air sealing method. NOTE: When Rmax Thermasheath is not the primary air barrier, ENERGY STAR requires air sealing throughout the envelope by other means. • Refer to individual application details for more specific instructions. o For Exterior Applications see Details: Stud Wall Constructions Siding 01, Stud Wall Construction (Brick Veneer) 02, Masonry Wall Construction (Veneer) 03, Re-Siding Construction 04. o For Interior Applications see Details: Masonry Wall Construction 05, Stud Wall &Vaulted Ceilings Construction 06,Attic Knee Wall &Ceiling Construction 07, Below Grade Wall Construction 10, Ceiling Crawl Space Construction 11 Floors and Below Grade: • Attach insulation boards to finished surface. o Install Thermasheath over specially prepared based of crushed stone for slab on grade constructions or on existing slab for floor and radiant floor slab constructions. o Starting at one corner/edge, install boards continuously and tightly abutted to cover entire surface. o Where insulation is cut to accommodate penetrations, voids and gapping should be minimized. • Refer to individual application details for more specific instructions. o See Details: Slab on Grade Construction 12, Floor Construction 13, Radiant Floors Slab Construction 14 Roofs: • Attach insulation boards to suitable roof deck(tongue-and-groove timber, plywood, or metal deck). o Secure boards to roof deck with enough fasteners to hold it in place until the nailing surface or roof cover system is attached through the insulation to the deck. o Starting at one corner/edge, install boards continuously and tightly abutted to cover entire surface. o Where multiple rows or layers of insulation exist, stagger joints. o Where insulation is cut to accommodate penetrations, voids and gapping should be minimized. o When using compatible adhesives to secure boards, apply the adhesive per the manufacturer's recommendations. o When using mechanical fasteners to secure boards, use screw and plate type fasteners with sufficient length to penetrate the deck(minimum 1" into wood or minimum 3/4" into steel). • Rmax strongly recommends the decision to use or not use a vapor retarder in any insulated roofing assembly, as well as, its location within the system, be guided by the recommendations of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA). • Refer to individual application details for more specific instructions. o See Details : Standing Seam Metal Roof 08, Shingle Roof Construction 09 Rmax• 13524 Welch Road • Dallas,TX 75244• (972)387-4500• Fax(972)387-4673•www.rmax.com • Email rmax@rmax.com ESR-1864 Supplement I Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 9 of 23 n4 MAX ' Insulation Instructions For the Seal and Insulate with ENERGY STAR® program Limitations: • Thermasheath should not be used as commercial roof insulation directly under membrane systems. • Thermasheath is not a structural panel and must not be used as a nailing base for any other building products. The structure must be properly braced for lateral loads and uplift according to the requirements of the local building codes. • In "very heavy" termite infestation probability areas, except where permitted by code, boards shall not be installed on the exterior face or under interior or exterior foundation walls or slab foundations located below grade, and the clearance between insulation boards installed above grade and exposed earth shall be at least 6 inches (152 mm). Consult the Local Building Official for specific governing codes and requirements. Warnings: • Polyisocyanurate foam is an organic material which will burn when exposed to an ignition source of sufficient heat and intensity and may contribute to flames spreading. Boards must not be in direct contact with hot objects requiring a certain amount of clearance. Refer to equipment/fixture rating for guidance. Safety: • Cutting Thermasheath produces a nuisance or irritant dust—use of a dust mask may be necessary. • Safety glasses are always recommended when using power tools. • Proper ventilation should be provided to minimize airborne dust and fumes if using construction adhesives. Warranty: • See Rmax "Sales Policy"for warranty conditions, Rmax does not assume any responsibility or liability for the performance of any products other than those manufactured by Rmax. NOTE: All Rmax products must be tarped, placed on skids and kept dry before and throughout construction until proper sealing techniques are employed.
