	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Knauf; glass fiber thermal insulation for exterior walls, roofs, and ceilings; acoustical insulation. . This section is based on the products of Knauf Fiber Glass GmbH, which is located at: One Knauf Drive Shelbyville, IN 46176 Tel: (317) 398-4434 Tel: (800) 825-4434 Fax: (317) 398-3675 www.knaufinsulation.us [ Additional Product Data ] This section covers Knauf's batt and blanket, board, blowing, and specialty insulations, for thermal and acoustical applications.
	Knauf makes premium fiber glass insulation for industrial and commercial use, air handling, residential, metal building, and OEM markets. About the time Knauf was started in 1978, the insulation business had become rather predictable and complacent. It was time for change, and that's what Knauf offered: new ideas about performance and quality, innovative products, service, and a 'let's do it' attitude. For the beginning, our customers had the same sort of 'we're in this together' team approach, and it's paid off. Today, Knauf is the fastest-growing manufacturer of premium fiber glass insulation with plants located in Shelbyville, Indiana, and Lanett, Alabama. .

		G.	Between Wood Studs, Rafters, and Joists:
			1.	Unfaced Insulation: Friction fit insulation between framing members after cover material has been installed on one side of cavity. In applications without a cover material, use wire or metal straps to hold insulation in place.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete one of the following two paragraphs.
			2.	Faced Insulation: Staple attachment flanges to face or side of framing member every 8 to 12 inches (200 to 305 mm) on verticals, every 6 to 8 inches (150 to 200 mm) on horizontals and slopes.
			3.	Faced Insulation: Friction fit insulation between framing members after cover material has been installed on one side of cavity. In applications without a cover material, use wire or metal straps to hold insulation in place.
		H.	Between Open Web Bar Joists: Secure with 16 or 18 gage wire running diagonally or perpendicular to insulation, spaced at 18 to 24 inches (460 to 610 mm).
		I.	Over Suspended Ceilings: Install insulation with face contacting back of ceiling panels; butt insulation tightly together at edges to prevent thermal leaks.
		J.	Maintain vapor retarder integrity by tightly abutting adjacent insulation.
		K.	Repair punctures or tears in vapor retarder facing by taping. Follow tape manufacturer's application recommendations.
		L.	Do not leave kraft or standard foil facings exposed.
	3.3	INSTALLATION - BLOWN INSULATION
		A.	Install in accordance with NAIMA "Recommendations for Installation in Residential and Other Light-Frame Construction - Fiber Glass Loose Fill Insulation" and manufacturer's instructions; follow manufacturer's coverage chart.
		B.	In open applications, install to depth necessary to achieve specified R-value.
		C.	In closed cavities, install to fill entire cavity.
	3.4	PROTECTION
		A.	Protect insulation from damage and from becoming wet before, during and after installation.
		B.	Replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
