-
Thermal performance: R-30 insulation to reduce heat transfer in cold winters and heat gain in summer.
-
Kraft facing with vapor retardant: The facing provides a moisture barrier and helps reduce drafts, aiding in overall energy efficiency.
-
Formaldehyde-free: A safer choice for indoor air quality during and after installation.
-
Energy Star Certified: Meets energy performance standards for energy-efficient homes.
-
Form: Fiberglass batt, designed for easy cut-to-fit installation and quick placement between studs or joists; non-corrosive to metal components; adds a durable air seal when used with proper framing.
Where to use
Ideal for attic insulation (floor or ceiling applications), between wall studs in 16 in on-center framing, and other multi-surface applications where you need reliable R-30 performance without added complexity. The 4-foot length makes it convenient for longer runs, while the 10-inch thickness provides substantial insulation in thicker assemblies.
Installation tips for best results
- Measure cavity widths accurately and cut batt with a sharp utility knife for a snug fit—avoid compressing the insulation, which reduces R-value.
- Keep the Kraft facing oriented toward the living space to act as a vapor retardant where appropriate, and staple edges to framing members to hold in place.
- Do not place insulation against recessed light fixtures or near heat sources unless rated for contact; follow local codes for clearances.
- Wear protective gear during installation to minimize skin and eye irritation from fiberglass fibers.
