Our take on the CertainTeed Sustainable Insulation R-38 Kraft Faced Fiberglass

CertainTeed Sustainable Insulation is a kraft-faced fiberglass batt made with a plant-based binder and a minimum of 35% recycled content. The 8-1/4 inch batt delivers R-30 cavity insulation, the thickness that fits standard 2x10 framing. It suits attics, cathedral ceilings and walls where a kraft vapor retarder is wanted. Compared with plain pink fiberglass, it competes on the recycled and low-formaldehyde story rather than on R-value per inch, and it is cut to friction-fit between studs and joists.

Pros
  • Plant-based binder and at least 35% recycled content
  • Kraft facing acts as a vapor retarder and holds the batt together
  • Friction-fit sizing cuts and installs with a utility knife
  • Standard 48-inch length fits typical stud and joist spacing
  • Light and low-dust compared with loose-fill fiberglass
Cons
  • R-30 cavity value falls short of the R-38 in the product name
  • Fiberglass still irritates skin and lungs during install
  • Compressing the batt lowers its R-value
  • Kraft facing is flammable and needs proper covering in living space
  • Not a substitute for air sealing or a full vapor barrier

Questions and answers

Is this really R-38 insulation?
No. The batt is 8-1/4 inches thick and rated R-30 in the cavity. The R-38 figure refers to the product line's system rating, not the batt alone.
What framing depth does it fit?
The 8-1/4 inch thickness suits 2x10 framing. In shallower 2x4 or 2x6 walls it will not fit without compression, which lowers the R-value.
Does the kraft facing need a separate vapor barrier?
The kraft facing acts as a vapor retarder, so a separate barrier is usually not needed on its side. Check local code, and cover the facing in occupied rooms where required.
How many square feet does a pack cover?
Each pack holds 10 batts at 48 inches long. Coverage depends on the width you cut, so measure your bays before ordering.
Is it safe for DIY installation?
Yes, with basic protection. Wear gloves, long sleeves, eye protection and a dust mask, and ventilate the space while installing.
How does it compare with blown-in fiberglass?
Batts are cleaner to handle and easier to remove later. Blown-in fills odd cavities and around obstructions better and is faster for large open attics.
