How to insulate your agricultural building or storage room with Lumix?
For optimal results, it is adviced to install the insulation boards underneath the purlins. This creates a level surface that is beneficial for optimal ventilation and deters birds from nesting underneath the roof.
The Recticel profiles delivered with the boards, allow you to create a waterproof and airtight connection of the insulation boards.
Mounting
It is advisable to mount the insulation boards by means of 3 high-quality fixings per purlin, i.e. at 20 cm from the edges and in the center of the boards. An absolute minimum of 2 fixings per purlin can be allowed in some situations depending on the loads the boards will experience (e.g. when no high under- and overpressure is exercised on the boards due to ventilation systems).
In that case, it is recommended to place the fixings at about 25 cm from the longitudinal edges. A combination of both is off course possible when 3 fixings are alternated with 2 fixations.
