Faced Insulation is a blanket type insulation that is generally made of fiberglass. It has a vapor barrier that will block moisture from moving from one space into another. Most vapor barriers are made of Kraft paper. Faced insulation will be sold in batts or rolls that are then stapled to beams or joists.
Allow friction to hold the insulation in place. Or you can staple the flanges of faced insulation to the insides or face of the joists. (Stapling on the inside is preferred by many drywallers because it leaves the edges of the framing members easier to locate.
