About R7/R11 Insulation

R7/R11 Insulation is crafted using advanced centrifugal technology to fibrose molten glass, combined with an environmentally friendly thermosetting resin binder. Composed of fine glass fibers with diameters of just a few microns, this insulation excels in fire resistance, thermal insulation, heat preservation, and sound absorption. The R-7 variant offers effective thermal control for both vertical and horizontal applications, available unfaced in roll form.

Ideal for a variety of uses, it can be installed in wood or metal framing cavities, between furring strips, or retrofitted into attics, crawl spaces, and above suspended ceilings.

Features of R7/R11 Insulation

R7/R11 Insulation provides exceptional performance and benefits:

  • Formaldehyde-Free: Safe for indoor environments with no off-gassing.
  • Thermally Efficient: Low thermal conductivity for effective heat transfer resistance.
  • Sound Control: Reduces sound transmission through walls, floors, and ceilings.
  • Fire Resistant: Noncombustible and durable inorganic glass construction.
  • Durability: Will not rot, mildew, slump, or corrode pipes, wiring, or metal studs.
  • Ease of Installation: High resilience, lightweight, and flexible for wrapping around curved surfaces.
