Acoustic Batts
Product Data Sheet
Product Installation
QuietZone® acoustic batts are
designed for interior cavities only
and are not recommended for
exterior walls. The facing on this
product is provided for ease of
installation and is not a vapor
retarder.
• Insulation must fit snugly
into place, filling the cavity
completely.
• Staple batts along kraft flanges
to the inside of the wall
framing.
• In cases where wall
penetrations apply, cut with a
utility knife to fit around wiring,
outlets, junction boxes, pipes
and other obstructions.
• For desired performance,
keep batts dry during shipping,
storage and installation.
• QuietZone® acoustic batts
may be installed with the
facing toward either side of
interior walls, floors, or ceilings
in conventional wood stud
construction.
• QuietZone® acoustic batts (15"
or 23" width) will be required
in the cavity space between
wall framing sections spaced
either 16" or 24" o.c.
• Owens Corning acoustic
batts will be required to fill
the cavity space between wall
framing sections spaced either
16" or 24" o.c. when using 2x6
QuietZone® acoustic wall
framing.
*The facing on QuietZone ® batts will burn and must
