- What does R-19 mean and where should it go?
- R-19 is the insulation's resistance to heat flow. It is sized for 2x6 wall cavities, floors over crawl spaces and similar spaces about 6 inches deep.
- How much area does one roll cover?
- At 23 inches wide and 470 inches long, one roll covers roughly 75 square feet. Measure your cavities and add about 10 percent for cuts and waste.
- Do I need a vapor barrier with unfaced insulation?
- Unfaced rolls have no built-in retarder. In most cold climates you add a separate vapor retarder on the warm side of the wall, following local code.
- Can I compress it to fit a smaller cavity?
- No. Squeezing it into a 2x4 cavity cuts its R-value. Use the right thickness for the cavity instead.
- Is fiberglass insulation safe to handle?
- It is safe when handled with care. Wear gloves, long sleeves, eye protection and a dust mask, and wash exposed skin afterward.
- Can it be used in ceilings and attics?
- Yes, but check the required R-value for your climate. Attics usually need more than R-19, so this roll suits walls and floors better than open attic floors.
