- When does CertainTeed insulation go on sale?
- CertainTeed sells through distributors and home centers rather than its own stores, so discounts follow those retailers' promotions, often around spring and fall remodeling seasons. Watch the price history on each roll here to see whether a current price is above or below its usual range.
- Where is CertainTeed insulation cheapest?
- Prices vary by retailer and by region because fiberglass rolls are bulky and shipping costs matter. Compare the R-19 15 in. x 470 in. roll across stores on this page and factor in delivery or pickup, since a low list price can lose to a local yard.
- What is the difference between R-13 and R-19 CertainTeed rolls?
- R-13 is a thinner roll for 2x4 walls, while R-19 is thicker and suits 2x6 walls or attics. The R-19 rolls listed here are kraft-faced, meaning a paper vapor retarder on one side, and come in 15 in. width for standard framing.
- What does kraft-faced mean on these CertainTeed rolls?
- Kraft facing is a paper layer with asphalt that acts as a vapor retarder and includes flanges for stapling to studs. Face it toward the heated side of the wall, and avoid adding a second vapor barrier over it.
- What is CertainTeed's return policy on insulation?
- Returns are handled by the store that sold the product, not by CertainTeed directly. Keep the receipt and check the retailer's policy before opening rolls, since opened insulation is often non-returnable.
