I installed bazz bt 1200 IC boxes ( http://www.lightingexperts.ca/en/bulbs-and-accessories/insulated-box.html ) in my kitchen ceiling which sits under a flat roof.

The ceiling is insulated and I now need to place a vapor barier over it, however I am not really sure what I am suppose to do around the IC boxes ?

Any tips would be appreciated? Thanx

Dont know the product, but check instructions,I have seen similar wrapped with 6 mill poly or a preformed flex plastic weather proof box. Check instructions for HEAT build up and required breathing room....

The only instructions it has are on the box it self.. It shows that it has to sit under the vapor barrier but i don't see how the vapor barrier will stretch out that much.. I assume i am suppose to wrap it in a vapor barrier before i install it ...

Look at the attached pic and see what you make of it.. Thanx

just called the company and they said i have to purchase a vapor barrier that goes around the box... Blue in color, then the plastic tapes to that.... weird but am gonna look into it i guess..

The blue is the flex plastic box I mentuioned. You will seal the edges to other poly to form the vapour proof barrier. May also require acuostic type sealant or caulking at wire penetrations again depending on your code:thumbsup:
