3. EXECUTION

3.1. Fixing to Masonry Cavity Wall – Insulation Application Location: To the inner leaf

Fixing Construct the inner leaf to at least an appropriate level to allow installation of Kingspan Kooltherm® K8 Cavity Board to proceed. Remove excess mortar and mortar droppings from exposed edges of any installed insulation boards. Offer the Kingspan Kooltherm® K8 Cavity Board to the external face of the internal leaf and secure in place using the wall ties and retaining disc / clip. Ensure wall ties include a retaining disc / clip and be of the double drip type, installed drip downward. The outer leaf is then built up to the level of the top of the boards and the process is repeated.
