(prHWY.com) December 18, 2012 - Melbourne, Australia -- A new fastening system designed to simplify the installation of Foilboard panels, has today been introduced to Australian building consumers by Foilboard Australia Pty Ltd. The new system is lightweight and safe to handle and because it contains no hazardous fibres, no protective clothing is required during installation.
The new product, Flexifast Fastener, according to the company's project consultant, Heather Grant, is not only fast and extremely flexible in its use, but also adjustable, making it the perfect solution for many applications. "Simply push the Flexifast® fastener firmly into the desired position in your Foilboard® sheet, using the specially designed prong. Then position the board where it is required, fasten the Flexifast® fastener with either nails or screws where appropriate, and you're done. It's that simple".
According to the Foilboard spokesperson, the company recommends the use of 1 Flexifast® fastener every 600mm for maximum stability. In order to finish the perfect installation of Foilboard, the company advises that all sheets must be taped where they join to prevent air infiltration, therefore maintaining your desired R-Value.
Among the many uses and application of the Flexifast fastener builders, people who are renovating or building a home or commercial property will find that it is excellent for:
*
Timber Floor Insulation
*
Wall Insulation
*
Cathedral Ceiling Insulation
"Consumers will find that a Flexifast Fastener is a safer product. It's cheap, and most definitely good for the planet," notes Ms. Grant, who then speaks to Chris and Rowdy Bellinger of Beachport Bob Cat and Tipper Hire, Beachport SA, 5280, about their experience of the Flexifast Fastener. They had just completed a large extension to their original home using the foilboard:
"Before work began our builder recommended, we consider a new product called 'Foilboard'. He told us that he found it to be well priced, easy to fit and very, very effective.
We agreed with our builder and are so happy we did. My husband actually helped fit the Foilboard, and found it quick and simple to work with. Since fitting this new product our power and gas bills have been significantly lower such are the insulation properties of Foilboard. In short it is effective, easy to work with, cost effective and in the end the only smart choice to make. We would highly recommend Foilboard and would be happy to speak to anyone thinking of using this wonderful product," wrote Chris and Rowdy Bellinger.
