A:  Hello Charles, unfaced insulation does not contain a vapor retarder. If a vapor retarder is needed, a separate retarder would need to be added. To determine the need and placement of a vapor retarder we suggest you check your local code department. Thank you for your inquiry!

A:  Hello Terry, Pure Safety is certified to GreenGuard Gold standards for low chemical emissions into indoor air. However, fiberglass products may cause temporary skin and mucous membranes itching due to the mechanical abrasion effects of fibers, a condition which is completely reversible. Owens Corning does not recommend the use of Pure Safety® insulation in exposed applications where it will be subject to routine human contact due to this potential temporary irritation. Thank you for your inquiry!

A:  Ok Owens Corning. You just told someone that R19 would be better for 2x6 walls. I just purchased R19 for that very purpose, only to read the fine print on the bag, telling me that if I compress it to 5 1/2”, it will only be good for R13. In other words, I would have bought R15, left a 2” airspace, and have been better off. R21 would have been a better choice for 2x6 walls!

A:  If you put this into a 2x6 cavity it will not fill the space, probably better off with R-19

A:  Hello Scooter, R-19 would be best for a 2x6 cavity as it is recommended to completely fill the cavity. Thank you for your inquiry!

A:  Not recommended, there is no vapor barrier.
