ENCAPSULATED RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL INSULATION

DESCRIPTION
Guardian’s Encapsulated Residential and Commercial Insulation is our own quality fiberglass batts sealed in a polyethylene or PVC film.

USES
Encapsulated batts are designed for use in structures where a fibrous clean environment is needed. It is also recommended where the insulation is subjected to substantial moisture or air movement.

BENEFITS
Low Dusting
Dust that is normally generated from fiberglass batts is virtually eliminated due to this innovative packaging system by sealing the batt in polyethylene or PVC film.

Acoustical Protection
The encapsulated batt reduces fibrous dust and continues to act as an excellent acoustic medium through the absorption of sound energy.

Moisture-Resistant
The encapsulated batt will aid in the thermal performance of the product by substantially reducing the possibility of moisture damage when used in damp or high humidity environments.

Air Erosion Protection
When the area above the ceiling acts as a return air plenum, the encapsulated batts will substantially reduce air erosion that may create air-borne fibers.

No Direct Contact with Fiberglass
Since the fiberglass insulation is totally sealed in a polyethylene or PVC film, your workers never come in direct contact with the fiberglass.

TECHNICAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
DO NOT install any insulation on top of or within 3 inches of a recessed light fixture, unless the fixture is approved for such use.

Films utilized on encapsulated insulation will burn and should NOT be exposed to an open flame.

For use above suspended ceilings, check with ceiling panel manufacturer for maximum backloading recommendations to verify the system is capable of supporting the additional weight.

In applications above a suspended ceiling, it is important that the area above the insulation does not contain pipes that would be subject to freezing.
