Kraft Faced Fiberglass Batts

Product Description

Kraft-faced insulation is a lightweight thermal and acoustical fiber glass insulation made of long, resilient glass fibers bonded with an acrylic thermosetting binder. The kraft facing can serve as an integral vapor retarder.

Applications

• Wood frame construction – residential homes and light commercial buildings
• Metal frame construction – commercial buildings
• Pre-manufactured homes – modular or manufactured housing
• Engineered wood construction – assemblies framed with 12" to 19.2" on-center cavities, wide-spaced wood trusses or I-joists
• Interior wall sound control – interior walls and floor and ceiling assemblies (For sound class ratings for wall assemblies, see the appropriate STC values datasheet for either steel or wood framing.)

Performance Advantages

• Formaldehyde-free – will not off-gas formaldehyde in the indoor environment.
• Thermal Efficiency – provides effective resistance to heat transfer with R-values up to R-38 (RSI-6.7).
• Sound Control – reduces transmission of sound through interior and exterior walls and floor/ceiling assemblies.
• Moisture Control – the kraft facing resists water vapor transmission.
• Noncorrosive – does not accelerate corrosion of pipes, wiring or metal studs.
• Durable – unaffected by moisture, oil, grease and most acids. It will not rot, mildew or otherwise deteriorate.
• Resilient – bonded glass fibers will not pull apart during normal applications and resist settling, breakdown and sagging from vibration.
• Flexible – forms readily around corners and curved surfaces.
