PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.01 Examination

  • Examine surfaces and report unsatisfactory conditions in writing. Do not proceed until unsatisfactory conditions are corrected.
  • Verify surfaces to receive spray insulation to determine if priming/sealing is required to insure bonding and/or to prevent discoloration caused by migratory stains.

3.02 Preparation

  • Provide masking, drop cloths or other satisfactory coverings for materials/surfaces that are not to receive insulation to protect from over-spray.
  • Coordinate installation of the sprayed cellulose fiber with work of other trades.
  • Prime surfaces as required by manufacturer's instructions or as determined by examination.

3.03 Installation

  • Thickness will be determined as the minimum thickness measured as per ASTM E-605 field test procedure.
  • Install spray applied insulation according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
  • Cure insulation with continuous natural or mechanical ventilation.
  • Remove and dispose of over-spray.

3.04 Protection

  • Protect finished installation under provision of Division 1

3.05 Schedule

Provide a schedule when insulation requires listing by color, insulation value, NRC values and attributes.
