Thermal and acoustic insulation: writing a clear brief
State whether the project brief concerns thermal performance, room acoustics or both. Ask the designer to identify the appropriate product and assembly evidence for each requirement before comparing items with similar dimensions.
Define the selection
Keep the product comparison linked to the project assessment. Ask for the current datasheet and installation guide for the exact code being considered; a catalogue selection is not a substitute for a coordinated building specification.
Check before comparing products
- Purpose of each insulation selection.
- Applicable product and assembly evidence.
- Dimensions, coverage and installation compatibility.
Build a material list that can be checked
Record the selected product name or SKU, each required size and the quantity for each work area. Use the actual listed coverage when estimating packs or boards, and confirm the allowance with your installer. Include compatible accessories and keep a copy of the agreed selections.
