THERMAL BATT INSULATION Comfortbatt ® Thermal Batt Insulation for Residential & Commercial Construction FPO
Superior building envelope performance by ROCKWOOL Insulation. ROCKWOOL Comfortbatt® is a semi-rigid batt insulation designed specifically for exterior wood and steel stud applications in residential and commercial construction. Made from natural stone and recycled slag, ROCKWOOL stone wool is a high-density insulation that will fit snugly into wall cavities and will not slump over time.
Performance Matters. Managing moisture in wall assemblies Depending on your building codes and geographic location, a vapor barrier may be required when insulating exterior wall cavities. The use of a vapor retarder will limit the amount of water vapor that will move to the outside wall – reducing condensation in the wall assembly. ROCKWOOL Comfortbatt will not absorb or retain water in the event that moisture does get into the wall assembly.
Determining your climate zone and building code requirements. 7 6 4 6 5 5 4 3 3 2 2 2 4 Zone 4 - Marine 1 standard that provides the minimum requirements for energy-efficient buildings. In the northern states and Canada, chances are that building code mandates a vapor control layer be installed on the warm side of the insulation. A vapor control layer in northern climates helps to reduce the moisture diffusion through the wall assembly and through to the drywall.
