What are the requirements on the wire mesh indicated on the insulation installation method detail on sheet 4? How is the wire mesh to be installed? Chicken Wire or Metal Screen will suffice for the wire mesh material, as long as it can support the weight of the batten insulation material. This is ONLY a suggested method, and not a mandatory construction method. For installation, we suggest using screws, staples, or any other form of fastener that will support the weight of the installations.

Sheet 8 is a suggested method of transitions, and may vary depending on manufactures installation / warranty requirements.
