Premium Plus ^TM Insulation System

Premium Plus ^TM Directions

Caulk all framing abutments, window and door placements. Seal, or fill with acceptable fire-stopping material, any areas that cannot be adequately reached with pneumatic fill of Premium Plus ^TM Side Wall Spray Insulation. Install the Premium Plus ^TM Insulation into stud cavities open on one side using specified pneumatic equipment fitted with an auxiliary water line designed to
uniformly add water to the adhesive-enhanced mineral fiber at the blower nozzle so as to assure delivered moisture content of 10% minimum-20% maximum.
(See Premium Plus ^TM Side Wall Spray Installation Guide for detailed directions and equipment specifications.) Begin installation at lower plate and apply to all corners of the cavity, then fill entire cavity spraying up and down until filled. Sequence throughout building until all specified cavities are filled.

Premium Plus ^TM Design Considerations

The Premium Plus ^TM Insulation System must be installed in temperature and humidity conditions that enable activation of the adhesive binders followed by thorough drying of the installed insulation. Sprayed cavity must be dry before enclosing with gypsum wallboard. Generally 3-1/2” fills will be dry in less than 24 hours 8” fills can be dry in less than 48 hours. Allow extra time for low temperature or high humidity conditions. Consult an Amerrock sales representative for installation practices below 40 F.
