Installation steps
1. Install the membrane
Roll out the membrane and fasten it using staples that are at least 10 mm (3/8") wide by 8 mm (5/16") long at intervals of 10-15 cm (4"-6") (5-10 cm (2"-4") for blown-in insulation). Install the membrane leaving an additional 4 cm (1 5/8") overlap at adjacent building components so that an airtight bond can be applied here subsequently.

2. Overlap the membranes in the case of horizontal installation
Allow the membranes to overlap by approx. 10 cm (4") in the case of installation perpendicular to the supporting structure. The marking that is printed onto the membrane will serve as a guide here.

3. Overlap the membranes in the case of vertical installation
Allow for an overlap of at least 1 cm [1/16"] on fixed subsurfaces (e.g. rafters) in the case of installation parallel to the supporting structure.

4a. Tape the overlap
Clean the subsurface (dry and free of dust, silicone and grease) and carry out an adhesion test, if necessary. Centre the UNI TAPE system adhesive tape on the overlap and gradually stick it in place, ensuring that there are no folds or tension.

4b. Tape the overlap
Rub firmly using the pro clima PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond. Ensure that there is sufficient resistance pressure.

5. Sealing to smooth, non-mineral subsurfaces ...
... (e.g. knee walls made of wood-based panels) should also be implemented using UNI TAPE system adhesive tape. Centre the tape and gradually stick it in place, ensuring that there are no folds or tension (PRESSFIX).

6. Sealing to rough or mineral subsurfaces
Clean the subsurface. Apply a line of ORCON F system adhesive of at least d = 5 mm [3/16"] , or more in the case of very rough subsurfaces if necessary. Place DB+ onto the adhesive bed, leaving slack to allow for expansion. Do not press the adhesive completely flat.

7a. Sealing to unplastered subsurfaces
Attach the CONTEGA PV plaster-sealing tape to the wall initially at discrete points using ORCON F. The adhesive strip should be facing inwards.

8a. Sealing to roughly sawn timber
Clean the subsurface. Apply a line of ORCON F system adhesive of at least d = 5 mm [3/16"], or more in the case of very rough subsurfaces if necessary. As an alternative, ORCON MULTIBOND joint adhesive from a roll can be used.

10. Sealing around pipes and cables
Place a KAFLEX or ROFLEX sealing grommet over the cable or pipe and stick it to DB+. The cable grommets are self-adhesive. Stick the pipe grommets to the membrane using TESCON VANA or UNI TAPE.

11. Corner sealing
Guide TESCON PROFECT pre-folded corner sealing tape into the corner on the release film and stick the first independent adhesive strip. Then remove the release film and stick the second independent adhesive strip.

12. Battens, interior cladding
Install battens (e= max. 65 cm [2' 2"] ) to bear the weight of the insulation, and install interior cladding to provide protection against UV light and other damage.

13. Quality assurance
It is recommended that airtightness should be checked using a BlowerDoor test.
