Covering Insulation With Plastic Sheeting
The fiber could become airborne if a vent is blowing on it or it is disturbed in some way.
Covering insulation with plastic sheeting. Another option is to hang sheets of rigid foam insulation board over the insulated stud cavities. If the insulation is in your basement ceiling again it is okay to put up plastic. Plastic sheeting is a general purpose plastic film for use in a variety of construction and diy projects. Commonly used as a vapor barrier in between insulation and drywall.
Continue in the same manner until the bottom row is complete. Suggestions for covering exposed insulation include the following. Move down the wall and staple the sheeting to the studs over the insulation until reaching the end of the wall. The hdx 10 ft.
Go to the second wall and install the sheeting over the insulation just like the previous wall. Plastic the hdx 10 ft. 12 ft x 400 ft clear 0 31 mil plastic sheeting. Install plywood flooring over insulation located in the floor.
Hang faced fiberglass insulation between wall studs to eliminate the need for a separate barrier. Stretch the plastic sheet tightly across the top of the wall and staple it to the studs and plates. There can be no paper on any insulation that is not covered with wall board in case of a fire. If the insulation is in your walls it is okay to put up plastic before you put up sheet rock.
Fiberglass insulation will not degrade unless exposed to water. Install the plastic sheeting only after the insulation wiring and plumbing have been completed. Install paneling or sheetrock over insulation located in the wall. Seal the insulation by stapling a polymembrane sheet over it.
