Frequently Asked Questions
Bradford Optimo Underfloor Insulation Batts are designed to be installed under suspended timber floors. Measure the area, cut the batts to size, and fit them snugly between the floor joists for maximum thermal and acoustic performance.
To install, begin by lifting the floorboards or access panels. Place the insulation batts between the floor joists, ensuring a tight fit. If necessary, trim the batts to fit smaller gaps. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided on the packaging for ease of installation.
Ensure the underfloor area is dry and clean before installation. Wear gloves and a dust mask to protect yourself from fibreglass particles. For optimal performance, avoid compressing the batts during installation and check that they fit snugly between the joists.
Bradford Optimo Insulation is designed specifically for underfloor use in suspended timber floors. It should not be exposed to moisture or used in outdoor environments without proper protective barriers to maintain its effectiveness and longevity.
Bradford Optimo insulation does not require cleaning once installed. Ensure the underfloor remains dry and periodically check for any signs of moisture buildup or damage. Avoid disturbing the insulation once it’s in place to maintain its effectiveness.
To maintain optimal performance, ensure that the underfloor insulation remains dry and undisturbed. Periodically check for signs of moisture or pests and ensure the insulation remains securely in place. Regular inspection will help ensure the insulation performs as expected.
Store the insulation in a dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture and contaminants. Keep the batts in their original packaging until installation to prevent exposure to dust or dirt, which could reduce their effectiveness.
If you notice gaps in the insulation, check if the batts are properly fitted and not compressed. Adjust or replace the batts as needed to ensure they fill the space snugly. For persistent issues, consider consulting a professional installer for assistance.
If you notice a drop in performance, inspect for moisture, gaps, or compression. Ensure the insulation is properly installed and replace any damaged or improperly fitted sections. Contact a professional if issues persist or require advanced adjustments.
