Product catalog summary
Introduction
Ecohush provides acoustic insulation by disrupting sound waves with its fibrous structure, reducing noise levels. For further assistance, contact Ecohush customer support at 0800 400 326 or visit their website.
Storage and Safety
Store Ecohush under cover and protect it from moisture, dirt, and dust. While Ecohush is user-friendly, it is recommended to wear protective gear such as dust masks, safety glasses, knee pads, and suitable clothing during installation.
Pre-Installation Checks
Ensure installation areas are clean and free of debris. Verify that exterior cladding is weather-tight and all electrical wiring is marked with hazard stickers. Confirm that the Ecohush insulation matches specifications.
Required Tools
Tools needed include a step ladder, kneeling board, headlamp, craft knife, staple gun, and an installing stick.
Installation Procedures
  • Opening the Pack: Split the plastic wrapping lengthwise to allow the compressed insulation to expand.
  • Cutting to Size: Cut Ecohush slightly oversized for a tight fit. Use scissors or a knife for trimming.
  • Clearances: Maintain specific clearances from extractor fans, metal flues, roofing materials, chimneys, and light fittings to ensure safety and performance.
  • Fitting in Walls: Avoid live electrical wires and do not compress the insulation. Secure with staples and ensure a friction fit.
  • Fitting in Ceilings: Maintain a 25 mm clearance from roofing materials to prevent condensation. Support with battens or tape as needed.
  • Fitting Ecohush Bafflestack: Stack insulation over common walls, ensuring proper layering and compression to fill voids.
Compliance and Recommendations
Install all insulation according to manufacturer instructions and NZS 4246 standards. Eco Insulation provides a trained network of installers to ensure compliance and quality.
