Fiberglass Rolls
At Richie’s Insulation, we use Knauf fiberglass rolls for all residential and commercial purposes. Fiberglass rolls are a type of packaging used with fiberglass blanket insulations. We provide fiberglass rolls in a variety of widths and lengths for easy installations.
How and Where Fiberglass Rolls Are Used
Fiberglass rolls are typically installed and used for insulating attics, basements, cathedral ceilings, crawl spaces, floors and sidewalls. They're available with or without a facing. You can also get various R-values in this type of material.
During installation, the facing side of the fiberglass insulation material is usually applied towards the “warm in winter” part of the home to resist moisture vapor movement to cold surfaces, which can lead to condensation. However, it is important to check with the local building codes for the proper placement of vapor retarders in your area.
R-Values of Knauf Fiberglass Rolls
This type of fiberglass insulation material comes in varying degrees of R-values or thicknesses. The thickness of the insulation material depends upon the space in which it will be used and the amount of thermal management you require. Higher the R-value, the better will be the insulation to resist the transfer of heat between your ceilings, floors and walls.
The degree of R-values recommended for homes is based upon your home's geographic zones and has been established by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) for quick reference. Our staff will help you determine which R-value is suggested for your residential or commercial project.
Knauf fiberglass rolls are available in R-values that range from R-8 to R-38 for residential building insulations. The R-value of any insulation can be increased through the use of fiberglass blowing insulation in addition to the other types of fiberglass insulation material that already provide air and vapor barriers. The R-value of Knauf fiberglass rolls is clearly printed on the package it comes in, as well as on the facings of the product itself.
