BETAFIL Clip for Double Layer Insulation from Rondo Building Services

Rondo, together with Polyair Insulation, has developed a clip to accommodate double layer reflective membrane insulation, in order to satisfy requirements of the Building Code of Australia.

The NCC 2011 Energy Efficiency standards for external commercial concrete wall construction (i.e. tilt up panels) now state that two layers of insulation are required in addition to the internal lining board. This produces three air gaps which allows the installer to achieve the mandatory thermal control barrier (R Value).

The Rondo BETAFIL clip is secured to the inner face of the concrete wall with a suitable fixing and incorporates a tab to correctly space the inner layer of insulation. The next layer is then positioned by the spacers the installer adheres to the prongs of the clip.

The patented fixing points on BETAFIL allows Rondo 129 Furring Channel to be secured plumb prior to the screw fixing of the lining board. Furring Channel is then installed vertically with the BETAFIL clip being spaced at no more than 1200mm apart.
