Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation:
Actis Hybris panels are designed to be cut to size using a sharp blade and fitted snugly between studs, rafters, or joists. For optimal performance, it is recommended to create an air cavity on at least one side of the insulation, typically the warm side (interior). This can be achieved using battens or by maintaining a gap between the insulation and the structural elements. Ensure the product is installed without significant compression, which can reduce its effectiveness. Use appropriate fixings to secure the insulation in place. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guidelines for specific details related to your project type.
Compatibility:
This product is suitable for use in:
- Timber frame walls
- Masonry walls (as part of a system)
- Pitched roofs
- Ceilings
It is compatible with standard building materials and practices. For any application near sources of high heat or moisture, consult the manufacturer's recommendations. A vapor control layer may be required on the warm side of the insulation depending on the construction and location, to prevent interstitial condensation.
Care:
Once installed, Actis Hybris requires no specific maintenance. However, it is important to protect it from physical damage during and after the construction process. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. If the surface becomes dusty, a light brushing or vacuuming can be performed, but this is generally unnecessary for maintaining thermal performance.
