Mechanical Fixing to Vertical Timber / Battens / Metal Stud and Track This method may be used on timber frame, metal stud and track constructions or on any dry masonry wall that will support and retain the battens and associated fixings. 1. Place framing / battens at a maximum of 600 mm centres and positioned horizontally at floor and ceiling level / horizontal joints to support the Kingspan Kooltherm K18 Insulated Plasterboard. 2. Ensure the framing/ battens will be wide enough to offer a minimum 20 mm support to all edges of the board. 3. Use plasterboard screws long enough to allow for a minimum 20 mm embedment into the stud or, alternatively, suitable galvanised plasterboard nails, should be placed at 200 mm centres and not less than 10 mm from the edges of the board along the line of the studs. 4. Drive fixings straight and embed heads just below the surface of the board. Care should be taken not to overdrive the fixing. 5. Screws used for plasterboard fixing must comply with AS :2002 self-drilling screws complying with the building and construction industry corrosion resistance requirements.

6 General Requirements Cutting 1. Fit Kingspan AIR-CELL neatly around doors, windows, and any penetrations, and tape if necessary to prevent air leakage. 2. Foil facings are conductive to electricity and contact with uninsulated electrical cables and fittings must be avoided. 3. When taping a plastic squeegee or blade must be used to apply appropriate pressure to the tape. Surfaces must be dry and free from dust, oil or grease prior to taping. 4. Leave minimum 50 mm clearance around heat producing flues or light fittings (refer to light fitting manufacturer). The instructions in this document are guidelines only and should be interpreted with consideration for the specific building design. The installation of Kingspan AIR-CELL should be in conformance with the applicable clauses from AS 3999 and AS/NZS unless otherwise specified. Kingspan AIR-CELL can be damaged by intense heat above 105 C and contact with sparks and flame from blow torches, welders, cutting tools, etc. must be avoided. The installer must make due provision for safety when installing Kingspan AIR-CELL and Kingspan Kooltherm in any application. Cutting of Kingspan Kooltherm boards should be carried out either by using a fine toothed saw, or by scoring with a sharp knife, snapping the board over a straight edge and then cutting the facing on the other side. Ensure accurate trimming to achieve close-butting joints and continuity of insulation. Please note that scoring and snapping would not apply to Kingspan Kooltherm K18 Insulated Plasterboard due to the bonded plasterboard lining. Handling and Storage Kingspan AIR-CELL insulation products must be transported and stored in its protective packaging and kept clean and dry. Standing rolls on end reduces risk of damage should moisture be present in the packaging. Surfaces must be kept free of contaminants such as dust and grease, and must not be stored with foil surfaces in contact with alkaline materials i.e. wet cement, lime, etc. The packaging of Kingspan Kooltherm should not be considered adequate for long term outdoor protection. Ideally boards should be stored inside a building. If, however, outdoor storage cannot be avoided then the boards should be stacked clear of the ground and covered with an opaque polythene sheet or weatherproof tarpaulin. Boards that have been allowed to get wet should not be used. 6
