KRAFT FACED BATTS**


DESCRIPTION

This product is intended for use

in residential or commercial

construction as thermal insulation

in walls. These batts are designed

for use in standard width wood

framed construction where a vapor

re t a rder is needed. The batts have a

kraft facing without flanges and can

be friction-fit between wall studs for

non-exposed applications.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

Installing this product will save time

and improve productivity by re d u c i n g

field labor. Stapling is not required

because the fiber glass fills the entire

cavity. In addition to its thermal

p ro p e rties, this product also pro v i d e s

excellent acoustical performance.

INSTALLATION

SpeedyR tabless batts friction-fit

between wood studs and do not

require stapling.

For most areas, vapor retarders

should be installed on the warm-

in-the-winter side of the insulation

(toward the interior). A vapor

retarder is any material that limits

or restricts the transmission of

water vapor.

Common vapor retarders include

kraft or foil facings adhered directly

to fiber glass insulation and nylon

or polyethylene films applied over

insulation filled building cavities.

For some warm and humid areas,

vapor retarders—if used—should

be installed outside the heating or

building envelope. It is not appro p r i a t e

to install kraft faced fiber glass with

the facing toward the exterior.

Check local practice and/or building

codes before installation.

MEMBRAIN

DESCRIPTION

MemBrain is a polyamide film that

changes its permeability with the

ambient humidity condition. It is

capable of changing its permeability,

from low permeability in conditions

of low relative humidity to higher

permeability during conditions of

high relative humidity. It is intended

for use with unfaced fiber glass

insulation in wall and ceiling cavities.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

MemBrain allows closed building

envelope systems to increase their

drying potential with seasonal

climatic changes.

This product can be used in place

of traditional vapor retarders with

unfaced fiber glass insulation to

p rovide an insulation system that

i s ideal in some of the more severe

temperature and humidity climate

condition areas.

INSTALLATION

MemBrain should be installed in

all insulated walls and ceilings,

including cathedral ceilings. For most

areas, vapor retarders should be

installed on the warm-in-the-winter

side of the insulation (toward the

interior). For some warm and

humid areas, vapor retarders, if

used, should be installed outside

the heating or building envelope.

MemBrain is not intended to be

used as an exterior vapor retarder.

Check local practice and/or building

codes before installation.


DESCRIPTION

DryRight insulation is intended for

use in residential construction as a

thermal and acoustical insulation in

wall and ceiling cavities. The pro d u c t s

a re faced with MemBrain™, The Smart

Vapor Retarder, which is adhered to

the insulation.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

When installed properly, DryRight

helps prevent mold and mildew

growth by reducing the potential

for moisture accumulation.

Installing DryRight insulation is an

easy, cost-effective method to help

c o n s e rve energ y. It also offers therm a l

properties and excellent acoustical

performance. The product is also

GREENGUARD® Children and

Schools Certified which means

it is regularly tested for low

emissions of formaldehyde,

VOCs, respirable particles and

other pollutants using the stro n g e s t

environmental protocols.

INSTALLATION

DryRight is designed to be installed

on the warm-in-winter side of the

insulation (toward the interior). Fiber

glass insulation is noncombustible.

However, the facing should not be

left exposed. Special care should be

taken when working close to the

facing with an open flame. Special

flame resistant facings are available

for exposed applications.

Studs

DryRight insulation friction-fits

between wood studs. No stapling

required.

Ceiling Joists

D ryRight insulation is placed between

the joists with the vapor retarder

facing down. Only unfaced insulation

is installed over existing insulation.

Floor Joists

DryRight insulation is installed with

the vapor retarder facing up and in

contact with the floor. All insulation

must be supported between joists

with wire supports, by lacing wire

across joists or other approved

methods. Check with CertainTeed

for more details before installation.

ACOUSTICAL CEILING BATTS


Masonry wall insulation batts are unfaced fiber glass insulation that are

designed for use behind paneling or in masonry-type construction where

cavity depth is limited by the furring strips used. No stapling is required

because the batts fit tightly between furring strips. Use with a separate vapor

retarder or where no vapor retarder is required or recommended. Check

local practice and/or building code requirements before installation.

Masonry Wall Insulation


Basement wall insulation comes in two facings—white PSK and standard

FSK—and is designed for use in both residential and commercial applications

where code or builder preference specifies an insulated basement area. Both

facings are perforated. Both products comply with ASTM C 665, Type II,

Class A.

This product is intended for use in applications where the insulation will

be left exposed. It can be applied either half-wall or full-wall. (Half-wall is not

recommended for hollow block walls; they should be insulated full height.)

BASEMENT WALL


INSULATION IS AWISE INVESTMENT.

This diagram shows the most

important areas of the home to

insulate for energy efficiency. In new

construction, sidewalls are readily

accessible. For older homes,

installing additional insulation in

the attic, in floors over basements

and crawl spaces and in the garage

can pay dividends—because heat

loss and heat gain are reduced while

installation cost is minimized.

T h e re are many sets of energ y

s t a n d a rd s commonly in use today.

The most widely adopted standards

are listed in the next column:

(1) International Energy

Conservation Code (IECC)

Formerly the Model Energy

Code—A stand alone energy

code that evolved from three

legacy codes (BOCA, ICBO,

SBCCI) that were combined

after creation of the Intern a t i o n a l

Code Council (ICC) in 1994 and

consolidated into the ICC in 2003.

(2) International Residential Code

(IRC) and International

Building Code (IBC)—All

inclusive building codes that

evolved from legacy codes and

administered by the ICC. Many

jurisdictions have adopted one of

these codes in its entirety and the

e n e rgy portion contained within.

(3) HUD MPS (Minimum P ro p e rt y

S t a n d a rd s )—For HUD funded

new construction. It is considere d

a minimum standard for energy

and cost efficiency.

(4) Farmers Home Administration

(FmHA)—For FmHA funded

new construction. Standards are

higher than MPS.

(5) State and Local Jurisdiction

Energy Codes—Many states

and local areas have adopted

some version of the IECC or

their own energy codes.

(6) C e rt a inTeed Recommendations—

Comply with the latest Federal

Department of Energy (DOE)

recommendations or local

code—whichever is greater.

Thermal Recommendations


T E C H N I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N


Homes that are not insulated

to today’s energy standards can

experience substantial heat loss in

winter and heat gain in summer.

Installing proper amounts of therm a l l y

efficient fiber glass insulation is one

of the most cost-effective energy

conservation measures that can

be taken.

Climate and fuel costs determine

how much insulation should be

used for maximum economic re t u rn .

As fuel and electric costs increase,

higher R-Values are usually justified.

In some areas of the country,

heating costs determine how much

insulation should be used. In other

areas air-conditioning costs are the

major influence. In many areas

both heating and air-conditioning

costs contribute to the insulation

recommendations shown here.

R-Values on the chart represent

C e rt a inTeed recommendations based

on the latest DOE re c o m m e n d a t i o n s .

Find the appropriate zone. Then

use the R-Values on the chart below.

R-Values listed for walls include

those for both cavity insulation and

sheathing. If the home has a heated

basement, the basement walls

should be insulated to a level such

that the calculated energy consumed

would be no greater than if the

basement were unheated and the

floor above insulated to the floor

R-Value indicated.



US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY R-VALUE RECOMMENDATIONS

Wall Insulation: Whenever exterior siding is removed on an

Uninsulated wood-frame wall:• Drill holes in the sheathing and blow insulation into the empty

wall cavity before installing the new siding.• Zones 3-4: Add R5 insulative wall sheathing beneath the new

siding.• Zones 5-8: add R5 to R6 insulative wall sheathing beneath the

new siding.

Insulated wood-frame wall:• For Zones 4 to 8: Add R5 insulative sheathing before installing

the new siding.

MOISTURE

In every household, occupants

g e n e r a t e moisture by cooking,

bathing, laundering and breathing.

A family of four can produce two to

three gallons of water vapor per day.

During the heating season this

moisture vapor moves from a

home’s warm interior to the cooler

exterior. If its passage into attics and

exterior walls is not slowed by a

vapor retarder, condensation can

occur when the vapor reaches a c o l d

s u rface. Continued or pro l o n g e d

condensation can cause wood rot

and growth of mildew and mold. If

insulation becomes damp, its therm a l

p e rf o rmance is reduced. All building

insulation should be kept dry. Wet

fiber glass insulation will lose its

effectiveness. Fiber glass will often

dry naturally and regain its original

R-Value. However, under conditions

when the insulation will not dry

thoroughly, it should be removed

and replaced.

VAPOR RETARDER

A vapor retarder is any material that

limits or restricts the transmission of

water vapor. The most common

vapor retarders are the kraft or foil

facings adhered directly to fiber glass

insulation and nylon or polyethylene

films applied over insulation filled

building cavities.

For some warm and humid areas

vapor retarders—if used—should

be installed outside the heating or

building envelope. It is not appro p r i a t e

to install kraft, foil, or DryRight

faced fiber glass with the facing

t o w a rd the exterior. Check local

practice and/or building codes

before installation.

Vapor re t a rders are not re q u i red in

some dry, temperate climates such as

c e rtain areas of California and Arizona.

Performance Considerations




VENTILATION

To allow excess moisture vapor to

escape, allowances should be made

for proper ventilation. This can be

accomplished through either a natural

(static) or a power ventilation system.

In attics, the most common

method is the static system which

consists of simple vent openings.

These can be gable, eave or ridge

vents or a combination of the three.

An attic probably has two or more

vent openings located so that air

can flow in one and out the other.

Regardless of the types of vents,

as a basic guide you should provide

one square foot of vent area for each

150 square feet of ceiling floor area

when there is no vapor retarder in

the ceiling. If the ceiling does have a

vapor retarder, provide one square

foot for each 300 square feet of ceiling

a rea. Ideally, 50 percent of the re q u i re d

ventilation should be provided by

vents located in the upper portion

of the attic with the remaining 50

percent provided by eave vents.

When insulating, do not cover eave

or other vent openings.

The term “cathedral ceiling” refers

to sloped ceilings where insulation

is installed in rafter spaces and the

ceiling finish layer is fastened dire c t l y

to the rafters. In this type of ceiling

a vented air space between insulation

and roof sheathing is desirable.

Remember, properly insulating

and ventilating a home helps pre v e n t

moisture from damaging an attic

and walls. In winter, there will be

less risk of ice dams which are

caused when heat escapes and

allows snow to melt down the roof

and freeze on the colder overhang

areas. In the summer, hot air will

also be able to escape to the outside,

helping to reduce your cooling costs.

For most of the U.S., vapor

retarders should be installed on the

w a rm-in-winter side of the insulation

(toward the interior).

Vapor retarders are not a standard

recommendation for all attics. Except

for very cold regions, or isolated cases

w h e re there is high interior humidity,

an attic vapor re t a rder is not re q u i re d

if there is sufficient ventilation.

CertainTeed fiber glass insulation

is available with kraft, standard foil,

MemBrain™or flame resistant vapor

retarders. Although fiber glass is

noncombustible, some vapor

retarders can burn and should not

be left exposed. They must be

installed behind and in substantial

contact with the back surface of wall,

ceiling or floor finish materials. Only

flame resistant vapor retarders can

be left exposed.

Unfaced building insulation is

used with a separate vapor retarder

such as MemBrain, or where a

vapor retarder is not needed. It is

also used in retrofitting attics when

additional insulation is installed

over existing insulation.




MEMBRAIN™

To reduce the risk of moisture - re l a t e d

problems in building envelopes,

consider using the newest scientific

innovation from CertainTeed—

MemBrain, The Smart Vapor

Retarder. MemBrain is a polyamide

film (as opposed to polyethylene)

that changes its permeability with

ambient relative humidity conditions.

When relative humidity is low,

MemBrain’s pores close, blocking

vapor transmission into the wall

cavity. When humidity is high,

MemBrain’s molecular-scale pores

open, which permits moisture vapor

to escape. This allows wall cavities

to dry, reducing the risk of moisture

and mold in the wall cavity.

CONDENSATION CONTROL

Air normally contains moisture in

vapor form. Moisture in vapor form

is not a problem; in fact, it is beneficial

to us when the amount present is

not excessive. But when moisture

vapor encounters a cold, imperm e a b l e

surface, it can condense to a liquid

and cause problems. Vapor retarders

placed where they will stay above the

dew point temperature can pre v e n t

condensation problems. In most

U.S. climates, vapor re t a rders should

be located at the warm-in-winter

side of the insulation.

In very mild, dry climates, vapor

re t a rders are not re q u i red. In very hot,

humid climates, vapor re t a rders should

be located outside the insulation.

G e n e r a l l y, a masonry wall below grade,

should not have a vapor retarder

because it is not always certain

which side of the wall has the

greater vapor pressure. Check local

practice and/or building codes. For

more information, refer to the

ASHRAE Handbook, F u n d a m e n t a l s

Volume, chapter titled “Thermal and

Moisture Control in Insulated

Assemblies–Applications.”

FIRE SAFETY

Proper consideration must always

be given to fire safety. Most building

codes require that exposed vapor

retarders have an ASTM E 84 flame

spread index of 25 or less and a

smoke density developed of 50

or less. FSK 25 Facing meets these

requirements. Standard foil or kraft

facings should always be covered by

a low flame spread index material

such as gypsum wallboard.



Performance Considerations (cont.)

MemBrain Protects: During the heating season, when therelative humidity in insulated cavities is low, MemBrainworks as a vapor barrier.

MemBrain Breathes: During the cooling season, when relative humidity in insulated cavities is high,MemBrain changes its permeance to increase the system’s drying potential.


NOISE CONTROL

Noise in buildings can be controlled

by isolating noise sources from the re s t

of the stru c t u re with resilient support s ,

by absorbing sound energy with

porous materials such as insulation,

and by creating sound barriers

between different areas.

A material’s ability to absorb sound

can be measured in the laboratory

over a range of frequencies. The

absorption at a particular frequency,

expressed as a decimal fraction, is

called a sound absorption coeff i c i e n t .

The average of a material’s sound

absorption coefficients at 250, 500,

1000, and 2000 Hz is called the

Noise Reduction Coefficient, or NRC.

Materials that are good sound

absorbers (NRC’s close to 1.00),

are usually not good at resisting

the transmission of sound. But by

combining a good sound absorber

with a structure that resists sound

transmission, you can create an

e ffective sound barr i e r. An assembly’s

ability to act as a sound barrier is

called its transmission loss (TL).

TL can be measured in the laboratory

over a range of frequencies.

A single number rating, derived

f rom TL measure m e n t s over the 125

to 4000 Hz range, is called the Sound

Transmission Class, or STC of a wall,

floor or ceiling. STC ratings should

be used with some caution since

they do not measure transmission

o f impact noises or low frequency

noises commonly associated with

mechanical equipment. They are,

however, quite useful in designing

o ffice partitions where speech privacy

is the main concern. Small diff e re n c e s

in STC ratings (two or three points)

are not significant; they can’t be

detected by the human ear.

Additionally, STC ratings obtained

at different laboratories can vary by

three points.

The strategies most commonly

used to obtain high STC ratings are:

• Increasing partition mass through

the use of heavy materials such as

a double layer of wallboard.

• Breaking the sound transmission

path by using resilient channel

mountings or staggered studs.

• Providing sound absorption in

partition cavities by filling them

with sound absorbing materials

such as fiber glass insulation.

C e rt a inTeed NoiseReducer fiber glass

batts will typically add from four to

ten to the Sound Transmission (STC)

ratings of walls. STC, the perf o rm a n c e

rating of wall or floor sections for

airborne sound transmission loss,

depends on good construction

practices. Workmanship, mass of

materials, thickness of insulation

and separation of wall surfaces

(resilient channels, staggered or

double studs) all play a role.

The higher the STC rating, the less

sound is transmitted. The fire and

sound ratings shown are based on

specific and generic tests. For more

detailed information see Cert a inTe e d

Sound Control Bro c h u re (30-28-008).


COMPLIANCE

C e rt a inTeed has a variety of insulation

products that permit compliance

with insulation flame spread

requirements in the ICC model

building code. Most codes re q u i re that

flame spread ratings be determined in

accordance with ASTM Test Method

E 84. This method measures and

describes surface flame spread and

smoke developed measurements

under laboratory conditions.

CertainTeed unfaced fiber glassinsulation products have flame spre a d

ratings of 25 or less and smoke

developed ratings no greater than

50. These ratings are a requirement

of material standard ASTM C 665

for building insulation. The strictest

ratings specified by the model codes

are flame spread 25 or less and

smoke developed rating not to exceed

5 0. Unfaced fiber glass products can

therefore be used in exposed and

concealed installations and in both

c o m b u s t i b l e or noncombustible

c o n s t ruction types.

The white re i n f o rced polypro p y l e n e

facing and the re i n f o rced foil facing on

C e rt a inTeed basement wall insulation

also have a flame spread rating of

25 or less and a smoke developed

rating of 50 or less. These facings

can also be left exposed.

Standard kraft facing is a vapor-

retarder (one perm or less) but does

not have an established flame spre a d

rating. It is there f o re a non-rated facing

and can only be used in combustible

construction when it is concealed.

MODEL BUILDING CODEFLAME SPREAD REQUIREMENTS

Th e re are d i ff e rent re q u i rements for

CertainTeed Insulation

Building ResponsiblyGreen and Sustainable Building Information



CertainTeed respects the environment through the responsible development of sustainable building products and systems.Architects, builders, contractors, manufacturers and distributors continue to

look for ways to reduce our industry’s impact on the environment while meeting

customer demand for products that deliver beauty, comfort and performance.

As a product that helps reduce the energy needed to heat and cool homes

and businesses, CertainTeed Insulation is in the forefront of these efforts.

Our commitment is reflected here, highlighting our ongoing effort to become

the preeminent supplier of green building materials.

Fiber glass insulation — the original green building material.

CertainTeed insulation products by their very nature improve building energy

efficiency and reduce energy consumption for the life of the structure, conserving

nonrenewable resources, decreasing dependence on foreign oil and lowering

greenhouse gas emissions. Sand — an inert, abundant and rapidly renewable

resource — is the primary raw material used to make fiber glass. Yet recycled

glass has become a significant component of our fiber glass products and is

representative of CertainTeed’s ongoing effort to reduce our impact on pristine

natural resources. Our fiber glass insulation products average 35% recycled glass content

(pre- and post-consumer), well exceeding the 20-25% EPA Recovered Material Guideline.

As homeowners and municipalities become more environmentally conscious, contractors, inspectors and other building professionals

are more likely to be asked about adhering to green building standards. CertainTeed insulation products can play an important role in

helping a building meet these standards. And as a corporation, CertainTeed is a member of a number of organizations that focus on

improving the energy efficiency of buildings and the products used in their construction.

Two of the most well-known of the growing roster of environmentally focused building standards are the Leadership in Energy and Environmental

Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) National Green Building Standards.

The LEED rating system was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council to provide a national benchmark for the design, construction

and operation of high performance sustainable buildings. In order for a building to become LEED certified, it must meet certain prerequisites

and achieve specified performance levels to qualify for rating points. CertainTeed is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council

and supports the LEED program.

NAHB is working with the International Code Council (ICC) to develop an ANSI standard for green building practices. This standard,

known as the National Green Building Standard (NGBS), provides a system for certifying homes as green buildings, awarding points

to homes based on the design and material choices made in constructing the home. CertainTeed is also an NAHB member company.

CertainTeed insulation is GREENGUARD® Children & Schools Certified. CertainTeed fiber glass insulation has been certified by

the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute and meets the most stringent GREENGUARD standards for very low volatile organic

compound (VOC) emissions, including formaldehyde.

ENERGY STAR is a joint effort of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. Its purpose

is to encourage the ongoing development of more energy efficient products and practices. CertainTeed insulation products

meet ENERGY STAR specifications, and the company is an Insulation Manufacturer Partner of the program.
