Fiberglass is available in foil-backed, paper-backed and un-faced batts and blankets. |
Some builders have taken to cramming oversized standard fiberglass batts into wall and ceiling spaces. |
Allow yourself 3 to 4 person hours per 100 square feet when installing fiberglass batts and a vapor barrier in the attic. |
The vapor barrier might be tar paper, kraft paper attached to fiberglass batts, or a plastic sheet. |
Blankets, in the form of batts or rolls, are flexible products made from mineral fibers. |
Another proposal would entail removing the subfloor to lay in batts of insulation between the subfloor and the ceiling. |
