Description
EcoBatt batt insulation is a cost-effective thermal and acoustical barrier for energy-efficient construction. Ecobatt insulation products can be used in new and retrofit wood and metal frame applications in residential, commercial and manufactured housing structures. High Density (HD) batts are available where optimal thermal performance is required and space is limited. StapleFree batt insulation is flangeless kraft-faced batts that friction fit between 16" on center wood studs, eliminating the need to staple.
Features
ACOUSTICAL PERFORMANCE EcoBatt insulation provides excellent acoustical properties and will reduce sound transmission when properly installed in partition walls and acoustical ceiling and floor systems. Knauf acoustical/thermal insulation can improve STC ratings in wood stud construction by 3 to 5 points and metal stud construction by 8 to 10 points depending upon the complexity of the wall configurations, R-values and layers of insulation.
FIBERGLASS AND MOLD Fiberglass insulation will not sustain mold growth. However, mold can grow on almost any material when it becomes wet and contaminated. Carefully inspect any insulation that has been exposed to water. If it shows any sign of mold, it must be discarded. If the material is wet, but shows no evidence of mold, it should be dried rapidly and thoroughly. If it shows signs of facing degradation from wetting, it should be replaced.
