- What does R-30 mean and where does it fit?
- R-30 is the thermal resistance rating. It is sized for 2x10 framing, typical of attic floors and some cathedral ceilings.
- Which way should the kraft facing point?
- The facing goes toward the warm, conditioned side of the assembly. In cold climates that means toward the living space; in hot climates check local guidance.
- Do I need a separate vapor barrier?
- Often no. The kraft facing acts as a vapor retarder when installed correctly, but check your local code for the assembly.
- How much do I need for my attic?
- Measure the square footage of the area to cover and divide by the batt coverage per bundle. Buy one extra bundle for cuts and mistakes.
- Is it safe to install myself?
- Yes with basic protection: gloves, long sleeves, eye protection and a respirator. Fiberglass irritates skin and airways, so avoid loose fibers in living areas.
- When is it cheapest?
- Insulation prices move with seasonal demand, often dipping outside peak fall and winter prep. Track the price history before a large order.
