easy to install
I prefer the rolled, faced fiberglass insulation. It is designed to fit in between studs on 16” centers but gives wide enough edge tabs for some wiggle room. I’ve found tacking and the top and working down is best. For spaces without wiring/obstructions, just tack it down the wall until about 4” from bottom plate. Then gently pull the roll down and use a chunk of 2x4 or a level along the top edge of the bottom plate to give you a reference line to cut on. For bays with wire running across, get enough staples in the top third or so of the wall so the edges used to secure the roll won’t tear and fall. Then cut to length. For me, the best way to cut around the wiring is by folding the insulation back up (so the pink side is facing you) to where the fold in the insulation is even with the wire and then cutting a slit in the insulation at the fold. I did it this way because the insulation cuts better when its compressed. Then just stick it in the wall and move on

        Installed in my cabin
        I installed it in my cabin up north. It was easy to work with. Remember if you use the roll to stretch it out as you get into it. It cut easily with a razor knife, paper side down, I know that sounds weird but thats how you cut it. This is not like insulation of old. I didn't get all itchy. I installed it in my cabin which is 32x12 in 1 day pretty much by myself. I noticed a difference that night. I'm looking forward to the snow to see how well it really works!

        I had this insulation delivered along with sheet rock for a garage improvement project. It's a good product and easy to install. The paper flaps on the backing make it convenient to staple to the studs during installation. For figuring purposes, I found that one roll would do about four standard 16 inch spacings between studs with a little left over for patching small areas.Simple enough that my middle school child was able to install with me.

        This insulation was easy to staple to 2 by 4 studs. For any applications requiring insulation on 16in centered studs, this works great.

        Used in 2x4 garage wall cavities. Was easy to cut to length as we have 10' heights. Working vertically dust and fibers were negligible. However we decided to use the product as a second barrier,installing perpendicular to and over ceiling joists in the garage before filling the ceiling cavity. It was dusty and requires the use of respirators. good quality product. clean installation

        Trusted name - trusted brand. I used the 32 ft. rolls of R-13 to insulate an exterior of my wall before drywall. I would use it again and recommend it to anyone considering it.

        I am installing this R-13 in a shed that I am converting to a puppy playhouse. I was totally amazed at how easy it was to install right between the 24" studs. The additional flap of paper was perfect to simply staple the insulation to the studs. I was surprised to find that the insulation itself did not drive me crazy itching and it was so easy to cut to the correct length. This project is about 1/2 way done now and I am sure that I will be completely happy with the result. I live in Arizona and the summers can be brutal, but with this insulation, I expect that the AC unit I install will keep the playhouse will retain the cool temperature to keep the puppies comfortable. The length of the roll is just right for my project as well. I was able to cut it to the correct length and did not have any waste left over. I would recommend this product to anyone needing insulation. I had expected to do this project and it take a good while and end up itchy as can be. Well, that was not the case at all. The progress went along much quicker than I anticipated. As you can see in the photograph, it is in place and with it being stapled to the studs, installing the drywall will be a breeze.

        I recently installed this in my detached garage. For being my first time, I have to say it was relatively painless and actually pretty easy once I got the hang of it. My only wish is that the batts were 102 in. long. Also, it would be really helpful if there were cm markings along the two sides; that would make for faster and more accurate cutting. I purchased 3 of these packs for a total of 33 batts to cover approximately 320 sqft. of wall space. Excellent product and I will definitely be purchasing some again for my basement.

        Overall, this product does what it needs to do. I’m not giving it 5 stars due to the number of areas that were badly wrinkled, forcing me to make cuts and adjustments or toss some sections away. One piece just had an extra backing flap. Out of the 5 rolls I used, each roll had this issue.
