General Fixing Details

Installation of SuperQuilt for Timber Frame and Masonry Wall Applications and additional insulation products should be in accordance with the Certificate, YBS fixing instructions and current good building practice.

When the SuperQuilt is cut to fit around openings, care should be taken to minimise gaps. SuperQuilt can be cut easily using sharp scissors or a knife.

The surfaces of the masonry wall should be sound and free from loose material; large projections should be removed and holes filled and levelled. A survey of the wall may be required to establish the extent of any packing that may be required to ensure a uniform plane for the materials to be fixed.

Bearing surfaces for timber battens should comply with BS 8212 : 1995. The depth of timber battens will determine the air space achieved on either side of the SuperQuilt, YBS recommend 25mm battens.

All joints and perforations in the products must be securely sealed with YBS Foil Tape.

Services may be accommodated within the void created by the dry lining system.

Timber Frame Fixing Details

Installation of SuperQuilt for Timber Frame wall applications and additional insulation products should be in accordance with the certificate, YBS fixing instructions and current good building practice.

SuperQuilt is applied directly from the roll either vertically or horizontally depending on the wall height, pulled tight and stapled onto the timber studs at minimum 300mm centres.

SuperQuilt should be overlapped at each joint by approx. 75mm and stapled onto the battens, the joins should be sealed using YBS Foil Tape.

Vertical counter battens, recommended 25mm by 38mm are fixed to the wall. Battens must always be placed at the top and bottom of the wall and around the perimeter of doors and windows.

The plasterboard is fixed over the materials and onto the battens in the usual manner.

Cavity Wall Fixing Details

The spider clip is fitted on to the wall tie against the inner leaf and this creates the minimum cavity between the product and the blockwork.

The initial run of SuperQuilt is positioned over the wall ties, ensuring that it is kept taut but with sufficient drop to below floor insulation. SuperQuilt can be cut with a sharp blade to fit onto wall ties. The top edge of the material should be a minimum of 75mm over the top row of the wall ties giving a weathered lap joint.

When a full run is in position, the retaining clip is fixed to the wall tie to keep the SuperQuilt central to the cavity.

The second leaf is built up to the topmost line of the wall ties, (or two courses below) and the second run of SuperQuilt installed ensuring a minimum lap of 75mm. Vertical joints in the SuperQuilt should always be on a line of wall ties, ensuring a 100mm lap (ie 50mm either side of the wall tie) and sealed using YBS Foil Tape.

At internal and external corners a recommended air space of 25mm must be maintained (as in image above).

Dry Lining Fixing Details

Vertical counter battens, minimum 25mm by 38mm battens are fixed to the wall at 400mm centres. Battens must always be placed at the top and bottom of the wall and around the perimeter of doors and windows.

SuperQuilt is applied directly from the roll either vertically or horizontally depending on the wall height, pulled tight and stapled onto the battens at minimum 300mm centres.

SuperQuilt should be overlapped at each joint by approx. 75mm and stapled onto the battens, the joins should be sealed using YBS Foil Tape.

Counter battens are fixed to the wall battens through the material at 400mm centres.

The plasterboard is fixed over the SuperQuilt and onto the battens in the usual manner.
