Bag Net Weight - Nominal 32 lbs. (14.5 kg.), Minimum 31 lbs. (14.0 kg.)
Design Density = 28.8 kg/m³ (1.8 lbs./ft³).
*“R” means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. To get the marked R-value, it is essential that this insulation be installed properly. If you do it yourself, get instructions and follow them carefully. Instructions do not come with this package.
