How Do I Choose the Right Thickness for Insulation Rolls?

The right thickness of insulation depends on the level of thermal performance you need, which varies based on your climate zone and the part of the house you are insulating. Lower thermal conductivity values indicate better insulating properties and are recommended for colder climates.

Can Insulation Rolls Be Used in Any Part of a Home?

Yes, insulation rolls can be used in various parts of a home, including attics, walls, and crawl spaces. Ensure the insulation material is suitable for the specific application, especially concerning moisture and fire resistance.

How Do I Install Insulation Rolls?

To install insulation rolls, measure the area to be insulated, cut the insulation to size using a sharp utility knife and straightedge, and fit the insulation snugly between joists or studs. Use staples to secure faced insulation rolls with a vapour barrier.

Can Insulation Rolls Be Layered for Extra Efficiency?

Yes, you can layer insulation rolls for improved thermal performance. Make sure that the combined thickness does not compress the underlying layers, as compression can reduce the overall effectiveness of the insulation.

Do Insulation Rolls Have a Shelf Life?

Insulation rolls do not have a specific shelf life as long as they are kept dry and are not mechanically compressed. Store them in a dry area to maintain their insulating effectiveness over time.

What Is the Difference Between Unfaced & Faced Insulation Rolls?

Faced insulation has a vapour barrier attached to one side, typically made of kraft paper or foil, which helps control moisture. Unfaced insulation does not have this barrier and is used where vapour control is not necessary or when adding insulation to existing insulation.
