5 (5) STEEL FRAME THERMAL PERFORMANCE CHECKLIST (TICK ALL) Lightweight Intermediate Floor AIR BARRIER - CONTINUITY CHECKLIST (TICK ALL) DETAIL 5.03, 2011 Continue wall insulation across floor abutment zone If using wall lining to form air barrier, ensure air barrier continuity between upper and lower wall linings. A flexible membrane installed around floor edge may be used to provide this continuity. (Dotted blue line depicts air barrier continuity through floor zone, and can be notional) Seal all penetrations through air barrier using a flexible sealant or tape Complying with checklist will help achieve design air permeability and may effect a reduced testing regime. GENERAL NOTES OPTION (TICK ONE) AIR BARRIER - OPTIONS If compressible insulation is installed between studs in addition to rigid board insulation over, it should be tightly packed and be in direct contact with the rigid board. Take care to ensure compressible insulation is maintained above dewpoint temperature Rigid insulation or board sheathing, or Internal lining, for example, plasterboard, or Airtightness membrane and tapes ACCEPTABLE CONSTRUCTION DETAIL Lightweight Intermediate Floor DETAIL 5.03, 2011
