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.
There are three general types of blown insulation materials currently available: fiberglass, cellulose and rock wool. Fiberglass loose-fill insulation is made glass and sand that are spun or âblownâ into fibers. This type of insulation is great for wall cavities and attics. It can properly insulate an area and protect it too from moisture which could lead to the formation of fungus and mildew. In this age or recycling, most manufacturers use 20% to 30% recycled glass.
