tears in the facing by taping. Follow
the tape manufacturer’s
application recommendations.
Insulation installed too close to
light  xtures may affect the
luminaire’s performance. Do not
install insulation on top of or
within 3" of recessed light  xtures
unless the  xtures are approved
for such use. This is a requirement
of the National Electrical Code.
Due to the potential for skin
irritation, EcoTouch

Unfaced
Insulation should not be used for
exposed applications where it will
be subject to human contact.
Installation
Between Wood Studs/Rafters
EcoTouch

Insulation  ts between
studs. If required, the  anges can
be stapled to either the face or
the side of the stud every 8–12"
to prevent gaping or
“ shmouthing” of the vapor
retarder.

Unfaced insulation can
be friction- t between studs after
the cover material has been
installed on one side of the cavity.
Use wire or metal straps to hold
insulation in place in applications
without a cover material, or
where the insulation does not  ll
the depth of the cavity.
Cathedral ceiling products
(R3OC and R38C) are intended
to be friction- t between rafters.
Cathedral ceiling insulation should
be installed to provide a minimum
1" ventilation passageway between
the roof deck and insulation. (See
Figure 1) It is recommended to
use a vent baf e to assure proper
clearance.
Between Metal Studs
EcoTouch
®
Insulation can be
friction- t in place until the
interior  nish is applied. Insulation
should  ll the cavity and the wall
should eventually be closed on
both sides. (See Figure 2)
In areas where it will be applied
in heights over 8', use wire or
metal straps to hold the product
in place until the interior  nish is
applied. When faced insulation is
used, the attachment  anges may
be taped to the face of the metal
stud prior to applying the interior
 nish. Wire or metal straps
should also be used to hold the
product in place in applications
without a cover material or
where the stud depth is larger
than the insulation thickness.
Furring Strips
EcoTouch
®
Insulation can be
applied between furring strips, hat
channels, or Z-shaped furring in
areas where a  nish surface will
be installed. Contact the furring
strip manufacturer for
appropriate fastening system.
