Framer, Floor Framing & Rafters
Select the properties of the insulation layer to be added between the joists in the Wool Data
dialog box.
- Structure, Layer
- The program reads the data of the structural layer from the area you have selected. The
thickness of the layer is displayed in the text field.
- If the thickness of the insulation layer (or the total thickness of several insulation
layers) is different from the thickness of the structural layer, select the way you want
to position the insulation layer in relation to the structural layer:
- Locate by top side - The top surface of the structural layer is the top surface of
the uppermost insulation layer.
- Locate by bottom side - The bottom surface of the structural layer is the bottom
surface of the lowest insulation layer.
- If the frame consists of I-beam structures, select how to add the insulation:
- Trim to profile side - The insulation will be added according to the profile's
rectangular cross section.
- Trim to profile web - The insulation will be added according to the I-beam cross
section.
- Insulation code
- You can add one or more insulation layers to the structure. Select the insulation layers
in the text fields in the same order in which you want to add them to the structure: the
insulation layer in the top text field will be the uppermost layer in the structure, etc.
- Select the material code of the insulation by clicking the arrow button of the field.
Select the material code from a list. The field Thickness is
refreshed automatically according to the selected material code. You can also select the
option Mineral wool, dimensionless from the list. In this case,
type the thickness of the insulation layer to the Thickness
field.
