foil faced fiberglass

hmj | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

Is foil faced fiberglass insulation still manufactured? I have a client who wants the backroom ceiling of a basement left exposed but insulated. I know you can’t leave craft paper exposed. I haven’t seen it new in along time. Muchasgracias

    It sure is but I've only seen it lately in 36 and 48" widths, thickness up to 6". I sure other stuff is also available.
