Plasti-Fab PlastiSpan insulation can be used to insulate the interior of masonry or concrete walls in commercial buildings or in residential basements. The National Building Code requires a finish over PlastiSpan insulation to be supported through the insulation to the wall.
This brochure illustrates a metal T-stud system which is commonly used in commercial buildings. The T-stud is fastened through the insulation to the supporting structure using a Gripcon fastener. The Gypsum board or other finish is attached to the T-stud. The installation is fast and allows the insulation and the finish to be installed at the same time.
A wood nailer system is more commonly used in residential basements although both the T-stud and the nailer can be used in commercial and residential applications. The nailer is mounted over the insulation and fastened through to the supporting structure using a Gripcon fastener. The space created by the surface mounting provides for electrical wiring if required. The nailers are spaced to provide support for the finish. Where a basement is insulated the insulation should be carried over to the header joist and up to the floor above.
