Step 1

With a serrated knife, cut open the bag and remove all

the product from the packaging. Before installing, locate

any obstructions, such as plumbing pipes, electrical

boxes, or wires.

Step 2

Insert the batt tight to the wood stud and top plate,

eliminating any gaps, compress the batt to ﬁt snug in the

wall, and release. If obstructions exist, use a tape

measure and a serrated knife to measure and cut out a

notch to ﬁt snug around obstructions.

Step 3

Continue to insert additional batts, ﬁtting them tightly

together, ensuring that each batt is ﬂush with the interior

surface of the studs.

Four Easy Steps to Insulate Basement

or Above Grade Exterior Walls

COMFORTBATT

thermal insulation is designed to create a more comfortable living

environment for you and your family. Our insulation helps keep the outside environment from

getting in, to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. That also translates into

reduced heating and air conditioning costs

– and a house that is lighter on the environment.

Step 4

Install vapor barrier where required. While many

contractors feel that polyethylene is the best choice,

always consult your local building code.

To ensure accuracy while cutting,

COMFORTBATT

recommends the

Husky Serrated Knife, which

is guaranteed for life.

Insulating an Exterior Wall

Insert. Compress. Release.

Those three simple steps are all it

Attic Batt Insulation for New Additions Three Easy Steps to Insulate Your Attic with Batt Insulation If you want to increase your home comfort and save energy year round, start by reducing the heat loss through your attic, the most cost-effective place to add insulation. If your current insulation has settled and isn't flush with the top of the joists, add an extra layer of COMFORTBATT thermal batt insulation to bring it up to the top of the joist.

Insulate an Exposed Floor Over an Unheated Space Two Easy Steps to Insulate an Exposed Floor Over an Unheated Space If you have a porch or an overhang that you want to turn into a living space or a floor that is a bit too cold for bare feet, you can insulate the underside with COMFORTBATT R23 or R30. Insulating the exposed floor will prevent air and moisture from passing through the floor. In the case of a seasonal cottage, it can reduce the incidence of frozen pipes and help eliminate condensation.

Insulating the basement header is an often forgotten part of a home renovation project. The header refers to the typical 8-inch gap between the top of the basement's concrete wall and the floor above. When left exposed, the header space can cause drafts and make your furnace work harder. That's why it pays to insulate the area with thermal insulation like COMFORTBATT to reduce the heat loss and make your basement more comfortable.
