KRAFT FACED BATTS**
DESCRIPTION
This product is intended for use
in residential or commercial
construction as thermal insulation
in walls. These batts are designed
for use in standard width wood
framed construction where a vapor
re t a rder is needed. The batts have a
kraft facing without flanges and can
be friction-fit between wall studs for
non-exposed applications.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Installing this product will save time
and improve productivity by re d u c i n g
field labor. Stapling is not required
because the fiber glass fills the entire
cavity. In addition to its thermal
p ro p e rties, this product also pro v i d e s
excellent acoustical performance.
INSTALLATION
SpeedyR tabless batts friction-fit
between wood studs and do not
require stapling.
For most areas, vapor retarders
should be installed on the warm-
in-the-winter side of the insulation
(toward the interior). A vapor
retarder is any material that limits
or restricts the transmission of
water vapor.
Common vapor retarders include
kraft or foil facings adhered directly
to fiber glass insulation and nylon
or polyethylene films applied over
insulation filled building cavities.
For some warm and humid areas,
vapor retarders—if used—should
be installed outside the heating or
building envelope. It is not appro p r i a t e
to install kraft faced fiber glass with
the facing toward the exterior.
Check local practice and/or building
codes before installation.

MEMBRAIN
DESCRIPTION
MemBrain is a polyamide film that
changes its permeability with the
ambient humidity condition. It is
capable of changing its permeability,
from low permeability in conditions
of low relative humidity to higher
permeability during conditions of
high relative humidity. It is intended
for use with unfaced fiber glass
insulation in wall and ceiling cavities.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
MemBrain allows closed building
envelope systems to increase their
drying potential with seasonal
climatic changes.
This product can be used in place
of traditional vapor retarders with
unfaced fiber glass insulation to
p rovide an insulation system that
i s ideal in some of the more severe
temperature and humidity climate
condition areas.
INSTALLATION
MemBrain should be installed in
all insulated walls and ceilings,
including cathedral ceilings. For most
areas, vapor retarders should be
installed on the warm-in-the-winter
side of the insulation (toward the
interior). For some warm and
humid areas, vapor retarders, if
used, should be installed outside
the heating or building envelope.
MemBrain is not intended to be
used as an exterior vapor retarder.
Check local practice and/or building
codes before installation.
DESCRIPTION
DryRight insulation is intended for
use in residential construction as a
thermal and acoustical insulation in
wall and ceiling cavities. The pro d u c t s
a re faced with MemBrain™, The Smart
Vapor Retarder, which is adhered to
the insulation.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
When installed properly, DryRight
helps prevent mold and mildew
growth by reducing the potential
for moisture accumulation.
Installing DryRight insulation is an
easy, cost-effective method to help
c o n s e rve energ y. It also offers therm a l
properties and excellent acoustical
performance. The product is also
GREENGUARD® Children and
Schools Certified which means
it is regularly tested for low

ACOUSTICAL CEILING BATTS
Masonry wall insulation batts are unfaced fiber glass insulation that are
designed for use behind paneling or in masonry-type construction where
cavity depth is limited by the furring strips used. No stapling is required
because the batts fit tightly between furring strips. Use with a separate vapor
retarder or where no vapor retarder is required or recommended. Check
local practice and/or building code requirements before installation.
Masonry Wall Insulation
RESIDENTIAL FIBER GLASS INSULATION 17
Basement wall insulation comes in two facings—white PSK and standard
FSK—and is designed for use in both residential and commercial applications
where code or builder preference specifies an insulated basement area. Both
facings are perforated. Both products comply with ASTM C 665, Type II,
Class A.
This product is intended for use in applications where the insulation will
be left exposed. It can be applied either half-wall or full-wall. (Half-wall is not
recommended for hollow block walls; they should be insulated full height.)

BASEMENT WALL
INSULATION IS AWISE INVESTMENT.
This diagram shows the most
important areas of the home to
insulate for energy efficiency. In new
construction, sidewalls are readily
accessible. For older homes,
installing additional insulation in
the attic, in floors over basements
and crawl spaces and in the garage
can pay dividends—because heat
loss and heat gain are reduced while
installation cost is minimized.
T h e re are many sets of energ y
s t a n d a rd s commonly in use today.
The most widely adopted standards
are listed in the next column:
(1) International Energy
Conservation Code (IECC)
Formerly the Model Energy
Code—A stand alone energy
code that evolved from three
legacy codes (BOCA, ICBO,
SBCCI) that were combined
after creation of the Intern a t i o n a l
Code Council (ICC) in 1994 and
consolidated into the ICC in 2003.
(2) International Residential Code
(IRC) and International
Building Code (IBC)—All
inclusive building codes that
evolved from legacy codes and
administered by the ICC. Many
jurisdictions have adopted one of
these codes in its entirety and the
e n e rgy portion contained within.
(3) HUD MPS (Minimum P ro p e rt y
S t a n d a rd s )—For HUD funded
new construction. It is considere d
a minimum standard for energy
and cost efficiency.
(4) Farmers Home Administration
(FmHA)—For FmHA funded
new construction. Standards are
higher than MPS.
(5) State and Local Jurisdiction
Energy Codes—Many states
and local areas have adopted
some version of the IECC or
their own energy codes.
(6) C e rt a inTeed Recommendations—
Comply with the latest Federal
Department of Energy (DOE)
recommendations or local
code—whichever is greater.
Thermal Recommendations
18 RESIDENTIAL FIBER GLASS INSULATION
T E C H N I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N
Homes that are not insulated
to today’s energy standards can
experience substantial heat loss in
winter and heat gain in summer.
Installing proper amounts of therm a l l y
efficient fiber glass insulation is one
of the most cost-effective energy
conservation measures that can
be taken.
Climate and fuel costs determine
how much insulation should be
used for maximum economic re t u rn .
As fuel and electric costs increase,
higher R-Values are usually justified.
In some areas of the country,
heating costs determine how much
insulation should be used. In other
areas air-conditioning costs are the
major influence. In many areas
both heating and air-conditioning
costs contribute to the insulation
recommendations shown here.
R-Values on the chart represent
C e rt a inTeed recommendations based
on the latest DOE re c o m m e n d a t i o n s .
Find the appropriate zone. Then
use the R-Values on the chart below.
R-Values listed for walls include
those for both cavity insulation and
sheathing. If the home has a heated
basement, the basement walls
should be insulated to a level such
that the calculated energy consumed
would be no greater than if the
basement were unheated and the
floor above insulated to the floor
R-Value indicated.

MOISTURE
In every household, occupants
g e n e r a t e moisture by cooking,
bathing, laundering and breathing.
A family of four can produce two to
three gallons of water vapor per day.
During the heating season this
moisture vapor moves from a
home’s warm interior to the cooler
exterior. If its passage into attics and
exterior walls is not slowed by a
vapor retarder, condensation can
occur when the vapor reaches a c o l d
s u rface. Continued or pro l o n g e d
condensation can cause wood rot
and growth of mildew and mold. If
insulation becomes damp, its therm a l
p e rf o rmance is reduced. All building
insulation should be kept dry. Wet
fiber glass insulation will lose its
effectiveness. Fiber glass will often
dry naturally and regain its original
R-Value. However, under conditions
when the insulation will not dry
thoroughly, it should be removed
and replaced.
VAPOR RETARDER
A vapor retarder is any material that
limits or restricts the transmission of
water vapor. The most common
vapor retarders are the kraft or foil
facings adhered directly to fiber glass
insulation and nylon or polyethylene
films applied over insulation filled
building cavities.
For some warm and humid areas
vapor retarders—if used—should
be installed outside the heating or
building envelope. It is not appro p r i a t e
to install kraft, foil, or DryRight
faced fiber glass with the facing
t o w a rd the exterior. Check local
practice and/or building codes
before installation.
Vapor re t a rders are not re q u i red in
some dry, temperate climates such as
c e rtain areas of California and Arizona.
Performance Considerations
20 RESIDENTIAL FIBER GLASS INSULATION
T E C H N I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N
VENTILATION
To allow excess moisture vapor to
escape, allowances should be made
for proper ventilation. This can be
accomplished through either a natural
(static) or a power ventilation system.
In attics, the most common
method is the static system which
consists of simple vent openings.
These can be gable, eave or ridge
vents or a combination of the three.
An attic probably has two or more
vent openings located so that air
can flow in one and out the other.
Regardless of the types of vents,
as a basic guide you should provide
one square foot of vent area for each
150 square feet of ceiling floor area
when there is no vapor retarder in
the ceiling. If the ceiling does have a
vapor retarder, provide one square
foot for each 300 square feet of ceiling
a rea. Ideally, 50 percent of the re q u i re d
ventilation should be provided by
vents located in the upper portion
of the attic with the remaining 50
percent provided by eave vents.
When insulating, do not cover eave
or other vent openings.
The term “cathedral ceiling” refers
to sloped ceilings where insulation
is installed in rafter spaces and the
ceiling finish layer is fastened dire c t l y
to the rafters. In this type of ceiling
a vented air space between insulation
and roof sheathing is desirable.
Remember, properly insulating
and ventilating a home helps pre v e n t
moisture from damaging an attic
and walls. In winter, there will be
less risk of ice dams which are
caused when heat escapes and
allows snow to melt down the roof
and freeze on the colder overhang
areas. In the summer, hot air will
also be able to escape to the outside,
helping to reduce your cooling costs.
For most of the U.S., vapor
retarders should be installed on the
w a rm-in-winter side of the insulation
(toward the interior).
Vapor retarders are not a standard
recommendation for all attics. Except
for very cold regions, or isolated cases
w h e re there is high interior humidity,
an attic vapor re t a rder is not re q u i re d
if there is sufficient ventilation.
CertainTeed fiber glass insulation
is available with kraft, standard foil,
MemBrain™or flame resistant vapor
retarders. Although fiber glass is
noncombustible, some vapor
retarders can burn and should not
be left exposed. They must be
installed behind and in substantial
contact with the back surface of wall,
ceiling or floor finish materials. Only
flame resistant vapor retarders can
be left exposed.
Unfaced building insulation is
used with a separate vapor retarder
such as MemBrain, or where a
vapor retarder is not needed. It is
also used in retrofitting attics when
additional insulation is installed
over existing insulation.
RESIDENTIAL FIBER GLASS INSULATION 21
T E C H N I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N
MEMBRAIN™
To reduce the risk of moisture - re l a t e d
problems in building envelopes,
consider using the newest scientific
innovation from CertainTeed—
MemBrain, The Smart Vapor
Retarder. MemBrain is a polyamide
film (as opposed to polyethylene)
that changes its permeability with
ambient relative humidity conditions.
When relative humidity is low,
MemBrain’s pores close, blocking
vapor transmission into the wall
cavity. When humidity is high,
MemBrain’s molecular-scale pores
open, which permits moisture vapor
to escape. This allows wall cavities
to dry, reducing the risk of moisture
and mold in the wall cavity.
CONDENSATION CONTROL
Air normally contains moisture in
vapor form. Moisture in vapor form
is not a problem; in fact, it is beneficial
to us when the amount present is
not excessive. But when moisture
vapor encounters a cold, imperm e a b l e
surface, it can condense to a liquid
and cause problems. Vapor retarders
placed where they will stay above the
dew point temperature can pre v e n t
condensation problems. In most
U.S. climates, vapor re t a rders should
be located at the warm-in-winter
side of the insulation.
In very mild, dry climates, vapor
re t a rders are not re q u i red. In very hot,
humid climates, vapor re t a rders should
be located outside the insulation.
G e n e r a l l y, a masonry wall below grade,
should not have a vapor retarder
because it is not always certain
which side of the wall has the
greater vapor pressure. Check local
practice and/or building codes. For
more information, refer to the
ASHRAE Handbook, F u n d a m e n t a l s
Volume, chapter titled “Thermal and
Moisture Control in Insulated
Assemblies–Applications.”
FIRE SAFETY
Proper consideration must always
be given to fire safety. Most building
codes require that exposed vapor
retarders have an ASTM E 84 flame
spread index of 25 or less and a
smoke density developed of 50
or less. FSK 25 Facing meets these
requirements. Standard foil or kraft
facings should always be covered by
a low flame spread index material
such as gypsum wallboard.

Performance Considerations (cont.)
MemBrain Protects: During the heating season, when therelative humidity in insulated cavities is low, MemBrainworks as a vapor barrier.
MemBrain Breathes: During the cooling season, when relative humidity in insulated cavities is high,MemBrain changes its permeance to increase the system’s drying potential.
NOISE CONTROL
Noise in buildings can be controlled
by isolating noise sources from the re s t
of the stru c t u re with resilient support s ,
by absorbing sound energy with
porous materials such as insulation,
and by creating sound barriers
between different areas.
A material’s ability to absorb sound
can be measured in the laboratory
over a range of frequencies. The
absorption at a particular frequency,
expressed as a decimal fraction, is
called a sound absorption coeff i c i e n t .
The average of a material’s sound
absorption coefficients at 250, 500,
1000, and 2000 Hz is called the
Noise Reduction Coefficient, or NRC.
Materials that are good sound
absorbers (NRC’s close to 1.00),
are usually not good at resisting
the transmission of sound. But by
combining a good sound absorber
with a structure that resists sound
transmission, you can create an
e ffective sound barr i e r. An assembly’s
ability to act as a sound barrier is
called its transmission loss (TL).
TL can be measured in the laboratory
over a range of frequencies.
A single number rating, derived
f rom TL measure m e n t s over the 125
to 4000 Hz range, is called the Sound
Transmission Class, or STC of a wall,
floor or ceiling. STC ratings should
be used with some caution since
they do not measure transmission
o f impact noises or low frequency
noises commonly associated with
mechanical equipment. They are,
however, quite useful in designing
o ffice partitions where speech privacy
is the main concern. Small diff e re n c e s
in STC ratings (two or three points)
are not significant; they can’t be
detected by the human ear.
Additionally, STC ratings obtained
at different laboratories can vary by
three points.
The strategies most commonly
used to obtain high STC ratings are:
• Increasing partition mass through
the use of heavy materials such as
a double layer of wallboard.
• Breaking the sound transmission
path by using resilient channel
mountings or staggered studs.
• Providing sound absorption in
partition cavities by filling them
with sound absorbing materials
such as fiber glass insulation.

C e rt a inTeed NoiseReducer fiber glass
batts will typically add from four to
ten to the Sound Transmission (STC)
ratings of walls. STC, the perf o rm a n c e
rating of wall or floor sections for
airborne sound transmission loss,
depends on good construction
practices. Workmanship, mass of
materials, thickness of insulation
and separation of wall surfaces
(resilient channels, staggered or
double studs) all play a role.
The higher the STC rating, the less
sound is transmitted. The fire and
sound ratings shown are based on
specific and generic tests. For more
detailed information see Cert a inTe e d
Sound Control Bro c h u re (30-28-008).
COMPLIANCE
C e rt a inTeed has a variety of insulation
products that permit compliance
with insulation flame spread
requirements in the ICC model
building code. Most codes re q u i re that
flame spread ratings be determined in
accordance with ASTM Test Method
E 84. This method measures and
describes surface flame spread and
smoke developed measurements
under laboratory conditions.
CertainTeed unfaced fiber glassinsulation products have flame spre a d
ratings of 25 or less and smoke
developed ratings no greater than
50. These ratings are a requirement
of material standard ASTM C 665
for building insulation. The strictest
ratings specified by the model codes
are flame spread 25 or less and
smoke developed rating not to exceed
5 0. Unfaced fiber glass products can
therefore be used in exposed and
concealed installations and in both
c o m b u s t i b l e or noncombustible
c o n s t ruction types.
The white re i n f o rced polypro p y l e n e
facing and the re i n f o rced foil facing on
C e rt a inTeed basement wall insulation
also have a flame spread rating of
25 or less and a smoke developed
rating of 50 or less. These facings
can also be left exposed.
Standard kraft facing is a vapor-
retarder (one perm or less) but does
not have an established flame spre a d
rating. It is there f o re a non-rated facing
and can only be used in combustible
construction when it is concealed.
MODEL BUILDING CODEFLAME SPREAD REQUIREMENTS
Th e re are d i ff e rent re q u i rements for
exposed and concealed installations
for combustible and noncombustible
construction. Exposed means
uncovered, or exposed to view. A
facing is exposed, for example, if
uncovered in attics, crawl spaces,
basements, plenums or kneewall

CertainTeed Insulation
Building ResponsiblyGreen and Sustainable Building Information
CertainTeed respects the environment through the responsible development of sustainable building products and systems.Architects, builders, contractors, manufacturers and distributors continue to
look for ways to reduce our industry’s impact on the environment while meeting
customer demand for products that deliver beauty, comfort and performance.
As a product that helps reduce the energy needed to heat and cool homes
and businesses, CertainTeed Insulation is in the forefront of these efforts.
Our commitment is reflected here, highlighting our ongoing effort to become
the preeminent supplier of green building materials.
Fiber glass insulation — the original green building material.
CertainTeed insulation products by their very nature improve building energy
efficiency and reduce energy consumption for the life of the structure, conserving
nonrenewable resources, decreasing dependence on foreign oil and lowering
greenhouse gas emissions. Sand — an inert, abundant and rapidly renewable
resource — is the primary raw material used to make fiber glass. Yet recycled
glass has become a significant component of our fiber glass products and is
representative of CertainTeed’s ongoing effort to reduce our impact on pristine
natural resources. Our fiber glass insulation products average 35% recycled glass content
(pre- and post-consumer), well exceeding the 20-25% EPA Recovered Material Guideline.

As homeowners and municipalities become more environmentally conscious, contractors, inspectors and other building professionals
are more likely to be asked about adhering to green building standards. CertainTeed insulation products can play an important role in
helping a building meet these standards. And as a corporation, CertainTeed is a member of a number of organizations that focus on
improving the energy efficiency of buildings and the products used in their construction.
Two of the most well-known of the growing roster of environmentally focused building standards are the Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) National Green Building Standards.
The LEED rating system was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council to provide a national benchmark for the design, construction
and operation of high performance sustainable buildings. In order for a building to become LEED certified, it must meet certain prerequisites
and achieve specified performance levels to qualify for rating points. CertainTeed is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council
and supports the LEED program.
NAHB is working with the International Code Council (ICC) to develop an ANSI standard for green building practices. This standard,
known as the National Green Building Standard (NGBS), provides a system for certifying homes as green buildings, awarding points
to homes based on the design and material choices made in constructing the home. CertainTeed is also an NAHB member company.
CertainTeed insulation is GREENGUARD® Children & Schools Certified. CertainTeed fiber glass insulation has been certified by
the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute and meets the most stringent GREENGUARD standards for very low volatile organic
compound (VOC) emissions, including formaldehyde.
ENERGY STAR is a joint effort of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. Its purpose
is to encourage the ongoing development of more energy efficient products and practices. CertainTeed insulation products
meet ENERGY STAR specifications, and the company is an Insulation Manufacturer Partner of the program.
