Speedy Installation

DESCRIPTION
This product is intended for use in either residential or commercial construction as thermal insulation in walls. These batts are designed for use in standard width wood framed construction where a vapor retarder is needed. The batts have a kraft facing without flanges and can be friction-fit between wall studs for non-exposed applications.

BENEFITS
Installing this product will save time and improve productivity by reducing field labor. Stapling is not required because the fiber glass fills the entire cavity. In addition to its thermal properties, this product also provides excellent acoustical performance.

This insulation product qualifies for an energy tax credit of up to $1500 under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. For more information, visit the CertainTeed Energy Tax Credit page.
 
 

CertainTeed building insulation complies with ASTM C 665 and other specifications as listed on corresponding product specifications.

SpeedyR Tabless Batts friction-fit between wood studs and do not require stapling.

For most areas, vapor retarders should be installed on the warmin-the-winter side of the insulation (toward the interior). A vapor retarder is any material that limits or restricts the transmission of water vapor.

Common vapor retarders include kraft or foil facings adhered directly to fiber glass insulation and nylon or polyethylene films applied over insulation filled building cavities.
For some warm and humid areas, vapor retarders—if used—should be installed outside the heating or building envelope. It is not appropriate to install kraft faced fiber glass with the facing toward the exterior. Check local practice and/or building codes before installation.

CertainTeed insulation products improve building energy efficiency and reduce building energy consumption for the life of the structure. As a result, they help conserve nonrenewable energy sources, decrease dependence on foreign oil and lower greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the recycled content of CertainTeed fiber glass insulation meets the EPA Recovered Material Guideline for fiber glass products, 20-25% consisting of pre-consumer and post-consumer glass cullet.

Most CertainTeed fiber glass insulation products have been certified by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute and meets the GREENGUARD standards for low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions, including formaldehyde.
