How-to install YBS Breathe-R Insulation

Preparing the Roof

We recommend stripping off tiles, tile batten, and any existing felt to expose the rafters.

Installing Breathe-R Over Rafters

Breathe-R can be installed over rafters, starting at the bottom and running the product perpendicular to the rafters.

We recommend stapling the product in place at 300mm centres and draping it by 10–15mm.

Overlapping Breathe-R Insulation

Once the first run of Breathe-R has been installed, install the next layer above it and overlap by 100mm.

Use the double-sided tape built into the product for the horizontal overlaps.

Installing Tile Battens

Install your tile battens and tiles, using good building practice.
