Thermal Batt
insulation is dimensionally stable
and will not slump within the
cathedral ceiling cavity. Due to its
inorganic nature, Thermal Batt
Insulation will not rot or mildew
and is non-corrosive to steel,
copper and aluminum.

Read This Before You Buy
What you should know about
R-Values
The chart shows the R-value of this
insulation. R means resistance to
heat  ow. The higher the R-value,
the greater the insulating power.
Compare insulation R-values before
you buy.
There are other factors to consider.
The amount of insulation you need
depends mainly on the climate, the
type and size of your home, and
your fuel use patterns and family
size. If you buy too much insulation,
it will cost you more than you’ll save
on fuel.
To get the marked R-value, it is
essential that this insulation be
installed properly.
