TempShield™ is great as a basement wall insulator.
TempShield™ performs as a vapor retarder, resists fungus and mold, and
also controls dew point problems. (R-Value is unaffected by a
damp basement environment.) The tested R-Value is obtained by
installing TempShield™ as instructed; between two furring strips creating an air
space on both sides of the product.
When using one set of furring strips we
recommend installing our single bubble white poly product.
When your install requires 2 sets of furring strips, our double
bubble product with foil on both sides is recommended.
Installation
- Carefully read over the Helpful Tips before starting.
- Check the area you are insulating and make any needed
repairs before installing TempShield™.
- Use adhesive caulk or nails to attach furring strips to
the wall 16” or 24” on-center. Use small pieces of
tape to hold the strips against the wall until the caulk
has thoroughly cured.
- Using TempShield™ Insulation, simply install between furring strips. Staples
should be placed every 3" to 4." White poly
should face the interior of the building.
- Be sure at least a 1/2" air space is maintained
between the TempShield™ foil surface—such as your basement wall. This will give
you the maximum protection and insulation values.
Protecting your basement with TempShield™ gives you a more comfortable place to work and play while
lowering your heating bills.
