Design Considerations
Kraft and standard foil facings on
this insulation will burn and must
not be left exposed. Install facings
in substantial contact with the
 nish material. Protect from open
 ame or other heat source.
Buildings utilizing curtainwall
construction may be required to
be equipped with a sprinkler
system to provide adequate  re
protection. Check local building
codes for speci c requirements.
Commercial roof/ceiling thermal
applications require that the
building envelope block the
movement of air from the
outdoor environment to the
conditioned space. Neither the
insulation nor its facing should be
relied upon to provide an air
barrier. Failure to provide an
adequate air barrier could lead to
loss of thermal control,
discomfort of the building
occupants and frozen pipes.
When insulation is added to the
inside perimeter of a structure,
the area outside the insulation
becomes exposed to greater
temperature extremes. Building
structures should be inspected to
ensure they can withstand the
additional expansion and
contraction forces. Check for
piping which should be protected
against freezing.
The need for and placement of a
vapor retarder in commercial
construction depends on many
factors. The architect or speci er
should evaluate the requirements
of each project. If a vapor retarder
is speci ed, maintaining the facing
integrity may be important for

1. Higher R-values mean greater insulating power. Find out why in the seller's fact sheet on R-values.
Read This Before You Buy
What you should know about R-Values
The chart shows the R-value of this insulation. R means resistance
to heat  ow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.
Compare insulation R-values before you buy.
There are other factors to consider. The amount of insulation you
need depends mainly on the climate, the type and size of your home,
and your fuel use patterns and family size. If you buy too much insulation,
it will cost you more than you’ll save on fuel.
To get the marked R-value, it is essential that this insulation
be installed properly.
