In this post, we look at what is required for a basic Isoboard Ceiling Install. If you have any problems you are welcome to give us a call.

Materials and Tools Needed To Install Isoboard Ceilings:

1. Isoboard panels (thermal insulation boards)
2. Measuring tape
3. Utility knife or saw
4. Adhesive (recommended by the manufacturer)
5. Screws or fasteners (if required)
6. Screwdriver or drill (if using screws)
7. Protective gear (gloves, safety glasses, etc.)
8. Ladder or scaffold (if working at a height)

 

 

Isoboard Ceiling Installation Steps

1. Preparation:

– Measure the area where you plan to install the Isoboard ceilings to determine the number of panels needed.
– Ensure that the ceiling surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris.
– Wear appropriate protective gear to ensure your safety during the installation process.

2. Cutting the Panels:

– Use a measuring tape to measure the dimensions of the ceiling space.
– Transfer these measurements onto the Isoboard panels and mark the cutting lines.
– Use a utility knife or saw to carefully cut the panels along the marked lines. Ensure clean and accurate cuts for a snug fit.

3. Applying Adhesive:

– Apply the adhesive to the back of the Isoboard panel according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure to spread the adhesive evenly to ensure good adhesion.
– If using a construction adhesive, allow it to become tacky before attaching the panel to the ceiling.

4. Attaching the Panels:

– Press the Isoboard panel firmly against the ceiling surface, aligning it with the edges and corners. Apply even pressure to ensure proper adhesion.
– If required, you can also use screws or fasteners to secure the panels in place. This is especially useful for larger panels or if the adhesive alone is not sufficient.

5. Adding Clips To Secure Isoboard Ceiling Boards

-Using specific Usoboard clips to secure the ceiling boards in place. We mostly add clips every 400 -500mm when Installing Isoboard Ceilings

–  Isoboard Clips with the glue that is applied to the purlines ensure a solid Ceiling application

 

6. Repeat and Overlap:

– Repeat the process for each panel, ensuring they are installed tightly against each other without gaps.
– If necessary, overlap the edges of adjacent panels to create a continuous insulation barrier. Use adhesive or fasteners to secure the overlapping edges.

7. Finishing Touches:

– Once all panels are installed, check for any gaps or areas that need additional sealing. Use adhesive or sealant to fill in any gaps or seams.
– Trim any excess insulation material along the edges using a utility knife.

8. Cleanup:

– Clean up any adhesive, debris, or dust from the installation process.

Remember that this is a general guide, and the specific installation process may vary depending on the type of Isoboard panels you are using and any recommendations provided by the manufacturer. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines for the best results and to ensure proper insulation.

If you’re not comfortable with DIY installations or if you’re dealing with a complex or large-scale project, it’s advisable to seek professional help from an experienced contractor or installer to ensure the Isoboard ceilings are properly installed.
