Owens Corning® EcoTouch® Flame Spread 25 Fiberglas™ Insulation is a preformed, flexible blanket insulation. It is produced in R-values from 11 to 49, at thickness from 31/2 to 11 inches. It is available with either a FSK (foil-scrim-kraft) or PSK (poly-scrim-kraft) facing; both of which act as vapor retarders and provide a neat, finished appearance.

Features

• Excellent thermal control
• Effective acoustical performance
• Provides long term performance and will not settle nor slump within wall cavities
• Less dust than other fiberglass insulation products
• Excellent recovery characteristics
• Compression packaging speeds job site handling and installation

Applications

• Wall, floor and roof/ceiling assemblies where the insulation will be left exposed, or where a low flame spread vapor retarder facing is required
• Concealed applications of assemblies for noncombustible construction
• Wood and metal framed assembly cavities, or attached to surfaces with impaling pins

Design Considerations

• The building thermal barrier (insulation) should be in continual alignment with the building air barrier
• In framed cavities product thickness should match the depth of the framing members
• Follow the local, applicable building code(s) to determine the need for and placement of a vapor retarder
• Do not install insulation on top, or within 3 inches of a recessed light fixture unless the fixture is labeled as “insulation contact” (IC) rated
