- What does R-19 mean for my walls?
- R-19 is the thermal resistance rating. At 6.25 inches thick it is sized for 2x6 wall cavities and typical attic applications in moderate climates.
- Do I need a vapor barrier with unfaced insulation?
- Unfaced rolls have no attached retarder. In most cold-climate walls you add a separate vapor retarder on the warm side; check local code for your assembly.
- How much area does one roll cover?
- About 75 square feet at 23 inches wide by 470 inches long. Divide your cavity area by that to estimate rolls, and add a little for cuts and waste.
- Can I use this in an attic?
- Yes, unfaced fiberglass is common in attics. Keep it uncompressed and leave the required ventilation gap at the eaves.
- How does it compare with faced batts?
- Faced batts add a vapor retarder and are faster to staple in place. Unfaced rolls give you flexibility to choose your own barrier and avoid a facing that can trap moisture if installed wrong.
- What safety gear do I need?
- Gloves, long sleeves, eye protection and a dust mask. Fiberglass irritates skin and airways, so wash up after handling.
