Supafil™ Frame US Blowing Insulation

Name: Supafil™ Frame US Blowing Insulation
Brand: Knauf Insulation

This insulation provides consistent thermal performance against outdoor temperatures and helps maintain indoor temperatures. Greater thermal resistance means better temperature control. Made with recycled glass, it’s the smarter way to stand up to the cold.

USE IN THE US
In an effort to assist with constrained capacity in the US, Knauf has leveraged the capacity of its global affiliates by importing Supafil Frame US Blowing Insulation from its affiliated manufacturing facilities in Belgium and the Czech Republic. The packaging will specify either “Made in Belgium” or “Made in Czech Republic.” Rest assured, the product meets all of the requirements for use in the US and delivers the high-quality performance that is expected from all of Knauf's products. Although the bag dimensions remain the same, the bags do have a new look to better differentiate from our other products. The product has been field-evaluated in Baltimore, Charlotte, and Orlando with exceptional results.

Product Features

Quality Design

Engineered with a class A fire rating, this insulation is noncombustible. It can provide good air flow resistance and improved sound control versus uninsulated areas.

Easy Install & Handling

Installs clean and easy. Installers can spend less time installing as it requires fewer bags, compared to cellulose material — which can make the job more efficient.

Thermal Performance

Excellent thermal properties help reduce the operating costs of heating and air conditioning. Fills all gaps and voids in wall cavities, helping to meet required building codes.

Coverage and installation data were determined using a Volu-Matic® III blowing machine in third gear with 13" gate opening, 2.5–3.0 PSI air pressure, 150' of 3" diameter internally-corrugated hose. Volu-Matic III is a registered trademark of CertainTeed Corporation.
*“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.
**Based on Third Party 10-year settling study, the predicted settlement over a 20-year period would be 1 percent or less. This amount of settling is thermally insignificant. Therefore, the installed and settled thicknesses are effectively the same.
