DESCRIPTION Knauf's Batts and Blankets are thermal and acoustical products made from highly resilient,
inorganic glass fibers bonded by a thermosetting resin. The products are available unfaced or with kraft, foil, or flame-rated FSK-25
(Foil-Scrim-Kraft) foil facings.
APPLICATION Knauf's Batts and Blankets are cost-effective thermal and acoustical barriers for energy-
efficient construction. Their consistent quality, low dust, and clean-cutting resilient fibers make fabrication easy and installation
fast. The products can be used in new and retrofit wood and metal frame applications in residential and commercial structures, as well
as in manufactured housing applications. These applications include thermal and acoustical treatments to walls, ceilings, and floors.
In addition, High Density products are available where optimal thermal performance is required and space for insulation is limited.
High Density Cathedral Ceiling Batts, for example, deliver greater R-
value in less space, so builders can increase R-values and still maintain adequate space for ventilation. Knauf QuietTherm Insulation's excellent
acoustical properties reduce sound transmission when properly installed in partition walls, ceilings, and floor assemblies.

SECTORS Residential Knauf offers a full line of
standard and high-density batts and blankets with a wide range of sizes and R-values. Available unfaced, or with kraft or flame-rated
(FSK) foil facings, Knauf's residential insulation can be used for cavity walls, floors, ceilings, attics, basements, and crawl spaces.
It is highly resilient, recovering quickly to full thickness. It also greatly reduces the transmission of noise in the house. Light Commercial This full line of standard and high-density batts and blankets for
wood and metal frame construction is available unfaced or with kraft, foil, or flame-rated (FSK) foil facings. Knauf QuietTherm Insulation can improve STC ratings in wood stud construction by 3 to 5 points and in metal
stud construction by 8 to 10 points, depending on the complexity of the wall configuration and layers of insulation. Knauf's commercial
building insulation can be used for exterior and partition walls, floors, crawl spaces, and a variety of ceiling applications. Manufactured Housing Knauf's manufactured housing insulation is a full line of
batts and blankets with a wide range of R-values, lengths, and widths. It is designed to work efficiently with pre-manufactured
structures of all widths. Available unfaced in widths up to 192" (4.88 m) or with kraft facing in widths up to 24" (610 mm), it can be
used for cavity walls, floors, and ceiling applications. And QuietTherm sound batts are
available for partition walls. Retail Knauf's full line of retail batts and
blankets comes in a wide range of sizes and R-values, and is available unfaced or with kraft facing. Most blankets are conveniently
perforated every 94" (2.39 m) to make installation in standard 8' walls a snap, or they can be used as-is to insulate long runs like
floor or ceiling areas. This highly resilient insulation recovers quickly for a snug fit and assured thermal performance. Knauf's
retail roll packaging has easy-to-identify R-value and application information to help your customers find the right product
quickly.
