3. Installation and Operation Process

Proper installation is key to achieving optimal insulation performance.

3.1 Required Tools and Materials

Tool / MaterialPurpose
Measuring TapeAccurate measurement of installation area
Utility Knife / SawCutting boards to fit dimensions
Protective GearGloves, goggles, dust mask
Fasteners / ClipsSecure boards to walls, ceilings, or ducts
Sealant / TapeSeal joints to prevent air or moisture leaks

3.2 Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Measure and Cut: Measure the area accurately and cut boards slightly larger than required for a snug fit.

  2. Positioning: Place boards with the facing outward, ensuring tight joints and minimal gaps.

  3. Fixation: Secure boards using mechanical fasteners, adhesive, or clips as per manufacturer guidelines.

  4. Seal Joints: Apply sealant or tape to all seams to maintain thermal integrity and prevent moisture infiltration.

  5. Inspection: Check for misalignment, gaps, or damage before operational use.

3.3 Safety Guidelines

  • Always wear gloves, goggles, and dust masks.

  • Avoid inhaling fibers; use respiratory protection in enclosed spaces.

  • Keep boards away from open flames or high-temperature surfaces during installation.


4. Common Faults and Cause Analysis

FaultCauseSolution
Sagging or warpingImproper support or over-compressionReinstall with correct support and spacing
Reduced thermal performanceWater/moisture exposure or compressed fibersReplace affected boards; ensure vapor barrier integrity
Moisture damageHigh humidity or leaksInspect and maintain sealing; store boards in dry conditions
Acoustic performance declineGaps between boards or improper installationRe-align boards; seal gaps and joints
Fire safety issueImproper proximity to heat sourcesMaintain safe distance and follow fire safety guidelines

Understanding fault causes helps in preventive maintenance and prolongs the life of the insulation board.


5. Maintenance Methods

Regular maintenance ensures the thermal, acoustic, and fire performance remains optimal.

5.1 Inspection Schedule

TaskFrequencyMethod
Visual InspectionEvery 6 monthsCheck for damage, gaps, sagging, or moisture intrusion
CleaningAnnuallyUse dry cloth or vacuum; avoid water or chemicals
Sealant CheckEvery 12 monthsReapply tape/sealant on joints if necessary
Performance VerificationEvery 2–3 yearsTest thermal and acoustic performance if required

5.2 Cleaning Methods

  • Dry Cleaning: Use a soft brush or vacuum to remove dust.

  • Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a damp cloth sparingly on the facing only.

  • Avoid Water Exposure: Excess moisture may reduce insulation effectiveness.

  • Post-Cleaning Inspection: Inspect for any damage or deterioration in the core or facing.


6. Warranty and After-Sales Support
