Our take on the R-19 Kraft Faced Fiberglass Batt for 2×6 Walls

R-19 kraft faced fiberglass batt is insulation sized for 2×6 exterior wall cavities. The kraft paper facing gives it a vapor retarder on one side and makes it easier to friction-fit and staple in place. It is a standard, widely stocked choice for above-grade wood-frame walls. It is not a high-R product, so it suits walls where R-19 meets your local code or budget.

Questions and answers

Is R-19 enough for a 2×6 wall?
It depends on your climate and code. R-19 is common in mixed climates; cold climates often call for R-20 or more in 2×6 walls, which may mean higher-density batts or exterior insulation.
Which side does the kraft facing go on?
The facing goes toward the warm, interior side of the wall in most US climates. In hot-humid climates, check local guidance, since a vapor retarder may not belong there.
Can I compress the batts to fit?
No. Squashing a batt reduces its R-value. Buy the thickness that matches the cavity, or use a different product if the space is shallow.
Do I need to seal the kraft facing?
Yes, for best performance. Staple the flanges to the stud faces and seal seams and edges with kraft tape or acoustic sealant to keep air from bypassing the insulation.
What tools do I need to install it?
A utility knife, straightedge, staple gun and gloves. Wear a mask and eye protection, and avoid installing it in damp cavities.
