How does someone write a review for insulation? The package was huge, not heavy but difficult to maneuver while carrying. Fiberglass was thick and luxurious, got everywhere just like it should. Cutting was easy as long as your boxcutter is sharp. We resolved to get those disposable jumpsuits and some face masks and goggles because now we remember why we hate fiberglass. Will be so happy when our project is done and we don't have to mess with this stuff again for several more years. The Pink Panther on the package was a nice touch, got to explain to my adult kids, who he was, and the cartoon, and Peter Sellers.

Needed to insulate my pig's pen. This worked out amazingly. Glad I chose this one as it was so easy to install with a staple gun.

Quality control is terrible
I stopped installing this product so I could express how poorly it is produced. The paper facings are often stuck together in parts and tear when you try to separate them. The stapling flanges are randomly stuck together and rip when trying to peel them for attachment. They also spray glue on the outside of the paper so that when it gets rolled up half the insulation sticks to the wrong side of the paper and pulls the insulation off as it unrolls. Poor quality control is apparent. Wasted time/$$

Easy-peazy! We were surprised at how quickly we got the batts up into our ceiling... no fuss, no mess. I found a mop handle with a T-bar that assisted with placement. Even at 75yrs old, we got it done in one day! Amazing!
Easiest job I ever did!

Horrible sweet smell
There needs to be some sort of quality control. Because the product wasn’t cured long enough now I have to endure a burnt sweet odor for several weeks? I’m sorry but that’s not ok. Our home is an older mobile, not air tight at all and we can’t get away from the smell in any room. Very very dissatisfied!

Response from OwensCorningSep 21, 2020
Dear Emily, I am so sorry to hear about your experience. During the manufacturing process the insulation is cured in an oven. In some cases, the binder is not completely cured and may cause a burnt sugar odor. This odor should dissipate over time. That time can vary depending on the weather conditions. In many cases once the interior finish is installed you will no longer smell the insulation.
Thank you! Owens Corning

I had to cut it to fit since my ceiling joists were 19" on center. Still it was rather easy to install. Once I was finished I could really tell a difference in how the heat stayed in and how easy it was to cool. Great product.

Works great
Re-doing a upstairs bedroom and there was blown in insulation with fiberglass insulation. I removed the ceiling and then the blown in insulation. Replaced it with fiberglass. Much neater looking and a lot less mess. Could tell a difference right away.

Easy to work with . Paper face is thick enough not to tear while handling. No odor. We are using it between rafters on a barn shaped tiny home and already it has made a big difference in the comfort level.

This product works very well and installation was far easier than I thought it would be. My only issue is not the product but the employee who recommended this product. Since this was my first time installing something like this I ask a lot of questions and I'm not sure if the guy just didn't know or was trying to go on break but I told him that I was installing this in the garage and that I was putting it in with 2 x 4 beams. The R-19 while great insulation 6.25 inches thick, that is nearly twice the thickness of the beams. Still have one more wall to install but looking forward to getting it done.

As expected. I use gloves and long-sleeved shirts to keep it off my hands/wrists/arms, and only use it with a mask on or I'll start coughing! Sometimes I tear off the facing if I need to use part of the roll as an additional attic layer on top of existing faced insulation. I always air-seal as well and able to sense a difference in heat resistance (in our energy bill!) and sound reduction!
