SMARTBATT™ Fiber Glass Building Insulation is intended for use in either residential or commercial construction as thermal and acoustical insulation in ceilings, walls and floors.

SMARTBATT is the first and only kraft faced vapor retarder that can be used in standard wood stud and steel frame assemblies as well as in any fire rated applications.

When installed properly, SMARTBATT provides enhanced drying which helps prevent mold and mildew growth by reducing the potential for moisture accumulation. Installing SMARTBATT insulation is an easy, cost-effective method to help conserve energy in the residential and commercial new construction and remodeling markets. In addition to its thermal properties, SMARTBATT also provides excellent acoustical performance.

SMARTBATT's integrated smart vapor retarder facing allows closed building envelope systems to increase their drying potential with seasonal climatic changes. SMARTBATT has the ability to alter its permeability based on changes in relative humidity within the wall cavity. It is compression packaged for ease of handling and its broad availability of R-Values and sizes ensures the right product for the job. The product resists mold and mildew and will not rot or deteriorate.

The moisture management benefits associated with the use of SMARTBATT are most significant in cold and mixed climates. SMARTBATT is not as advantageous in hot-humid or hot-dry climates. However, if a vapor retarder is desired, SMARTBATT is most effective at managing moisture no matter what climate.

All fiber glass insulation should be kept dry. Wet fiber glass insulation will lose its effectiveness until it dries. Fiber glass will often dry naturally and regain its original R-Value. However, under conditions where the insulation will not dry thoroughly it should be removed and allowed to dry or be replaced.
