Q:I have an old detached garage. The siding is just nailed to the studs. They're in great condition but I can see daylight in a few places. Can I use this material w/ facing towards the inside against the drywall--without additional vapor barrier?

Answer This Question

A:  Hello Jens, Siding alone, especially if it is vinyl, is not a weather resistant barrier. Meaning air and water can pass through it. We do not recommend adding insulation to wall cavities that are not protected from exterior conditions with a weather resistive barrier. Added insulation may be damaged and also may hold water longer, slowing the drying process which could cause issues with the framing and/or the siding. Thank you for your inquiry!

    Q:I'm insulating a shed for an office. The studs are 12 on center instead of 16 . Is it better to buy the 24 width and cut it in half or should I buy the 15 and cut it back or is there a better option? The ceiling is 24 but the rest 12

    A:  Hello JoJo, Owens Corning does not manufacture a batt product that is 12" wide. Cutting a 24" batt in half will produce less waste, but either option is acceptable. Thank you for your inquiry!

        A:  Hello Bian, the Pink Next Gen Insulation has a service temperature of 250° F. The kraft facing does need to be in contact with a 15 minute thermal barrier such as 1/2" drywall. Thank you for your inquiry!

                    A:  the paper face is not a moisture barrier, therefore I don't believe it would matter.

                      A:  Hello Flyhighbabi, the typical rule of thumb is the facing will face the winter warm side of the wall. However, the need and placement is based on local building codes. We suggest checking with your local code department for requirements in your area. Thank you for your inquiry!

                        A:  Paper should face out , it is a vapor barrier to protect your wall
