Frequently Asked Questions
Bradford Optimo Saddles are used to support the friction fit of underfloor insulation batts in new builds. Place the saddles over the floor joists to hold the insulation batts in place, ensuring an even and secure installation.
To install, position the saddles over the floor joists, spaced evenly to support the batts. Place the underfloor insulation batts into the saddles, ensuring they fit snugly between the joists for maximum thermal performance and energy efficiency.
Ensure that the saddles are properly aligned and securely fastened to the floor joists. The insulation batts should not be compressed, as this could reduce their thermal efficiency. Install the saddles during the construction phase for easy and effective use.
Bradford Optimo Saddles are designed for indoor use during the construction of new homes with suspended timber floors. They are ideal for dry, indoor environments and are not suitable for outdoor or exposed conditions.
The saddles require minimal maintenance. Keep the installation area dry and clean. If dust or debris accumulates on the saddles, gently wipe them with a dry cloth. Ensure the insulation batts remain undisturbed for optimal performance.
Store the saddles in a dry, clean, and well-ventilated area, away from moisture or contaminants. Please keep them in their original packaging until ready for installation to prevent damage and ensure their integrity when used.
If the batts do not fit securely, ensure the saddles are properly aligned on the floor joists and the batts are cut to the correct size. Adjust the batts to fill the spaces fully, ensuring no gaps that could reduce thermal performance.
If performance issues arise, inspect the batt installation to check for compression, moisture, or improper fit. Recheck the placement of the saddles and ensure the batts are installed snugly and evenly between the joists without being disturbed.
