Johns Manville Fibreglass Insulation – R14
R-14. It is designed primarily for insulating wood-frame walls, helping improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort in residential and commercial buildings.
What R-14 Means
The R-value measures how well insulation resists heat flow.
-
R-14 provides solid thermal resistance suitable for 2×4 wall cavities.
-
Higher R-values indicate better insulating performance.
-
It helps keep buildings warmer in winter and cooler in summer, reducing energy costs.
Material and Construction
JM R-14 insulation is made from high-quality fiberglass fibers that trap air and slow heat transfer. The batts are typically pre-cut to fit standard stud spacing, making installation faster and easier.
Common features include:
-
Lightweight and flexible
-
Non-combustible fiberglass material
-
Moisture and mold resistant
-
Sound absorption properties
-
Easy friction-fit installation
Typical Applications
R-14 fiberglass insulation is commonly used in:
-
Exterior wall cavities
-
Basement walls
-
Interior partitions for sound control
-
Light commercial construction
-
Residential framing
Standard Sizes
Typical batt sizes include:
-
15 in × 93 in (for 16 in on-center studs)
-
23 in × 93 in (for 24 in on-center studs)
Thickness is generally around 3½ inches, designed to fit standard 2×4 wall framing.
