When installing fiberglass batt insulation with a paper facing the facing should be placed toward living spaces or heated space. The batt flange should be stapled to the face of the framing, and flanges from adjacent cavities should overlap. Each batt should be stapled approximately every eight (8) inches, or according to manufacturers specifications on facing. All tears or breaks in the facing six (6) inches or longer shall be sealed with duct tape or other waterproof tape. Tears and breaks in the facing should be minimal. These measures should be taken to insure a minimal amount of gaps and voids in order to reduce airflow into the dwelling.
