Frequently Asked Questions
Bradford Optimo Underfloor Insulation Straps are used to secure underfloor batts in place beneath timber floors. Nail or screw the straps to the floor joists, then bend them upwards to provide support and hold the insulation securely.
To install, position the straps along the floor joists at regular intervals. Nail or screw the straps into the joists, then bend them upwards to hold the insulation batts in place, ensuring a snug fit and secure placement.
Ensure that the straps are spaced evenly along the joists to provide adequate support for the insulation batts. Be cautious when nailing or screwing the straps to avoid damaging the joists or insulation. Ensure the insulation is not compressed.
These straps are designed for use in dry, enclosed underfloor spaces. They are suitable for use in residential buildings with suspended timber floors and should not be exposed to moisture or excessive outdoor conditions.
The straps require minimal maintenance. If dust or debris accumulates, wipe the straps with a dry cloth. Ensure the insulation batts remain undisturbed and dry for optimal performance. Periodically inspect the straps for any wear or damage.
To maintain optimal performance, ensure the straps remain securely fixed and that the insulation is not disturbed. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage and replace any damaged straps to maintain secure and effective insulation support.
Store the straps in a dry, clean area, away from moisture and contaminants. Keep the straps in their original packaging until ready for installation to prevent them from becoming damaged or exposed to dust.
If the insulation shifts, check if the straps are securely fastened and spaced evenly. Reposition the insulation and ensure that each strap is properly supporting the batts. If issues persist, consider adjusting or adding more straps for added support.
Inspect the straps and insulation to ensure there are no gaps, moisture, or compression. Reinstall or adjust the straps to maintain a snug fit, providing the insulation remains secure. For persistent issues, consult a professional installer for assistance.
