Thermal Batt Insulation Product Data Sheet - Fransyl

1 Product DESCRIPTIONPINK glass fibre Thermal Insulation ,inorganic, pre-formed unfacedblankets, designed for friction-fitinstallation in frame UsesGlass fibre Thermal insulationblankets may be installed in thefollowing locations: Above ground steel or wood studframed exterior walls. Interior side of below groundfoundation walls with steel orwood framing. Floors above unheated exteriorspaces and crawl spaces. Ventilated roof-spaces (or attics)above flat or sloped ceilings. Steel or wood stud framed roofparapets and curbs. Cathedral ceilings. Steel or wood stud framedinterior partitions separatingheated spaces from unheated orrefrigerated spaces. To provide Thermal resistancearound openings in a building sexterior fibre Thermal Insulation isGREENGUARD and SCS certified Post-consumer : glass materialsrecycled from construction sites(demolition work, newconstruction and renovation) andfrom consumers blue boxes.

On the exterior side offoundation walls, whether aboveor below ground level. In locations where no vapourretarder is provided on the warmside of the Insulation . Where it is impossible to provideclearances required by Codes andRegulations (building, electrical, gasand oil) between the insulationand heat-emitting appliances,chimneys, pipes, conduits andvents to these appliances (at least50 mm) and between insulationand recessed light fixtures that arenot encased in CSA-approvedinsulated boxes (at least 75 mm).
