INSTALLATION
Because UltraTouch is compressed for shipping purposes, give it a quick shake prior to installing. This will help accelerate the natural rebounding properties of the fibers. Install UltraTouch between the studs by simply fitting each batt firmly into place. If building codes require a vapor barrier, it should be applied towards the living area. Cut or tear the insulation to fit snugly around obstructions such as plumbing, vent lines, and electrical boxes. Use any left over pieces to fill small openings around windows and doors. For exterior walls, most climates will require either a 4-mil or 6-mil poly vapor barrier to be installed. The question of vapor barriers is not answered by Bonded Logic Inc. This issue depends entirely on your local climate and your local building codes. Please contact your local building code office and inquire about the recommendation for your area. Helpful Hint: Did you know that a continuous poly-vapor retarder is a more effective vapor retarder than individual kraft faced batts? It also requires less labor!
WALLS
UltraTouch cotton batts are a friction fit product. This means that they are slightly oversized for standard wall cavities. To install, merely insert the batt between the studding and tuck it in to ensure a tight fit. Approximate 30% of the batts in each bag of UltraTouch are perforated for easy tearing to fit “off-size” cavities.
CEILINGS
UltraTouch cotton batts can be layered to achieve higher R-Values in ceiling applications. It is best to alternate the direction of the batt layer. UltraTouch cab be secured to joists using wither wire or a mesh. This will ensure the batts remain in place until the drywall has been installed.
CUTTING
UltraTouch cotton batts are essentially a textile product and are therefore different to cut then traditional insulating products. The best way to cut UltraTouch with a non-motorized tool is to use the Insul-Knife. The Insul-Knife is available at ReNew. A circular saw works also. A fine tooth blade should be used with the blade installed with the teeth facing opposite of normal cutting installations. This minimizes shredding and tearing.
